Ski Joering

This is an unusual activity, but once you have undertaken the activity you will soon discover the thrill of it. It originates from the farming communities of Scandinavia, ski joering means 'towed' or 'pulled skis' and in the beginning it was simply a means of getting from one place to another. The skier lets himself be dragged along whilst holding the rudder bar and steering the horse with reins and a whip.
