Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Was walking the mutts yesterday and now the sled-dogs are back in town doing good trade with those here on hols.

Ullr goes mildly berserk, howling and barking as the sled-teams go past, then just as three teams had gone through, this XC skier appeared on the rutted track they use, and from the timing, it seemed she was using the sled-teams ahead to motivate her dog to chase.

She was fully harnessed up, similar to what I use for running, so no room for error with the very thin XC skis, in running at least I can use my body weight to slow him down, though not too sure how that would work on skis.

You can see the actual XC piste to the left.

I'm going to wait until things are quieter before trying it, and then I'll be holding his long leash rather than be harnessed in and no poles.

It's called skijoring isn't it, think it's quite big in Canada?

Not one to try without a very powerful snowplough!!

I saw some people doing exactly that on the lake at Champex in Switzerland a couple of years ago.

So bear in mind that was on smooth ice, so even less chance of stopping, and there was an area of the lake where the ice was too thin to go on....and the dog was running at full speed in that direction Shocked Shocked Shocked

@belette, @rungsp, think it all depends on the width of the ski, presume best to start with a normal ski and see what it's like. If you've never done Cross Country it's difficult to appreciate how unstable these skis are.

@Weathercam, go for it. You can also do it with a mountain bike in the summer. All season fun sorted.

@Weathercam, there used to be an outfit doing this with horses between Guibertes and Monetier at one time. I've seen it in Canada too, but I would prefer sledding I think.

@Weathercam, I ended up in hospital getting stitched up when my Labrador decided he wanted to procreate with an attractive lady dog. I wasn't even harnessed, just didn't let go of the leash fast enough. Me and my MTB both ended up in the river with me headbutting a rock! Just sayin...

Skijor rigs generally include some bungee so as to even out the shock loads a little (well in theory).
