Montana winters are even fun for people who love summer sports. The cowboys of Montana have developed a fascinating sport called “skijoring.” The B-Bar Ranch in Paradise Valley is known for offering skijoring to its guests. Here are the basics of skijoring: A water-skiing rope is tied to a saddled horse. Then the skijoring participant, donning winter gear and skis, grabs onto the rope and yells” Giddyup!” The goal is to hang on as long as possible before wiping out, just like in water skiing.
