Silverton Skijoring – February

FacebookTwitter

The annual Silverton Skijoring event touts itself as the city’s biggest winter party of the year, and it certainly delivers all the excitement you can handle. A lesser-known Nordic sport that combines water skiing, horse racing, and snow skiing, Skijoring is when a horse (or motorcycle) tows a person on skis through a timed obstacle course.

Silverton Skijoring has been a much-anticipated event since 2010, and each year it seems to draw a larger crowd. Spectators can watch this unique activity for free, but competitors may face a fee. Although family-friendly, you will also find a โ€œparty zoneโ€ on 12th Street where you can grab an adult beverage if the mood strikes.

Taking placeย from Saturday to Sunday, February 18th and 19th, 2023, skiers top 35-45 miles per hour while attempting to catch rings on a baton, navigate tricky jumps, and otherwise avoid a yard sale. The Opening Ceremonies begin at high noon on both days, and while festivities wrap up between 4-5 pm, the party continues at Avalanche Brewery.

If youโ€™d like to brave the course yourself, you can register in advance. With open, sport, and novice categories, you donโ€™t have to let your skill level stop you from competing. Once registered, youโ€™ll participate in two races: one match and one draw, unless you are in the open division, in which case you will compete in two matches.
