Reindeer Skiing should be a Canadian sport

Isn’t this an amazing photo?

I could totally get into this sport. Imagine skiing behind a reindeer? Or rather, it kind of looks like these guys are being towed. Looks like a combination of dog sledding - maybe the Iditarod, and skiing but with deer rather than dogs.

I don’t know where this photo originated, however I’m picturing this as the ultimate Canadian sport. Yes … I’m a Canuck.

Yep, that is amazing. I’ve never heard of such thing before. It does look like a cross between dogsledding and skiing though.

Amazing! I think I could really get into that–if it didn’t involve snow or live animals!

The first thing I noticed made me laugh so hard. Check out where their tongues are. All going to the right.

I wonder what is happening under those ski-masks

I love the photo. The actual name of this sport is called ski jouring. Though, I had not seen it behind reindeer before. It is usually done behind horses. They even have an association.
great Pic
