All right!!!! The winter carnival has started in earnest with the running of the 2014 Whitefish World Championship Skijoring. It was a bit of a foggy day with our usual "inversion" laying over a large part of the valley. But that didn't dampen spirits for those in attendance. They normally get about 3,000 people at the skijoring competition, and everyone gets into the fun. Lots of food vendors, beer vendors, etc.

SKIS AND HORSES -- people come from all over the country to combine the two. This was the 11th year of the competition, and it's open to both men and women equally -- from as far away as Vermont and Arizona.
And there are novice to pro divisions -- even a division for mules. So I'm posting some of my favorite photos from this year's competition. Enjoy! And next year come join us!!
