Skijoring the Munger Trail

Last winter I must have went jogging on the Munger Trail 70 times and never once saw anyone skijoring.

Today I went jogging on the Munger Trail for the first time this winter and saw two different people skijoring.

Was it a coincidence that I saw two today and none before, or does it mean something — like the activity is growing in popularity or maybe there’s an event people are preparing for?

    Skijoring is definitely getting more popular. It is really, really fun.

    Our nation, even the athletic citizens, just keep getting lazier and fatter. Now we make our dogs exercise us.

    Skijouring is pretty fun.

    My lil Pepe is weak sauce at the skijoring.

    Basically, the skijorer has a 37% higher speed. It’s really not water skiing. Check out my logic at https://skijoring.org/Events/Bartlett/Bartlett07/Bartlett07.aspx

    The skijorer still has to ski, and still gets a workout. It’s a great way of getting exercise and getting your dog exercise, too.

    Cooler idea: Tiny skis for your dog, you strap in and run around the munger trail while your dog cruises behind you (possibly wearing rad shades?).

    The rad shades would be mandatory. Does the dog wear 4 tiny skis or two longer double-pawed skis?
