Big Sky, MT: The Big Sky Skijoring Association (BSSJ) hosted their 5th annual Best In The West Showdown Presented By Delzer Diversified, Lone Mountain Land Company & RentBiz in Big Sky, Montana on February 4-5, 2023.
Western states have transformed horseback riding and skiing into a combined action-packed competition where teams of horse, rider and skier negotiate a 900+ foot course, in the sport known as skijoring. The horse and rider pull a skier or snowboarder through jumps and gates on a technically designed course while the crowd goes wild. The team at Big Sky Skijoring’s Best In The West Showdown has recently been pushing the envelope of competitive skijoring by pairing cutting edge course design, showmanship and elements of mountain culture never seen before.
