Estes Park Skijor

January 24-26, 2025

Join us at the Estes Park Events Complex for skijor competitions and so much more! Feel like you're strolling through downtown Estes Park at the Mountain Shop Expo, watch your kids as they go through a mini "skijor" course in the Estes Park Education Foundation's Fun Zone and refuel at one of the delicious local food trucks. 

What is Skijor you ask? Estes Park Skijor is a thrilling contest in which skiers are towed at high speeds by a horse and rider team, navigating a challenging course that features gates, jumps, and various obstacles. It's an event that uniquely blends Colorado's rich skiing tradition with its cowboy heritage, showcasing the best aspects of both worlds. Throughout the weekend, participants compete for cash rewards and prizes.

Curious enough to try it out? Good thing Skijor has a novice category waiting for you! All you need to do is find a rider or skier to team up with and press register!

There's no better way to enjoy a winter weekend than experiencing everything Estes Park offers. Explore the Estes Park Skijor Weekend Guide for everything you need to plan an unforgettable visit!
