LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – Horses at full gallop. Skiers soaring over jumps. Snow, speed and split-second precision. Winter is about to get a lot wilder. Following the momentum of its inaugural 2026 season, PRO Skijor announced an expanded 2027 Frontier Tour, growing the professional skijoring series to seven stops across the West and adding new events in Denver, Colorado, and Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

The expansion marks the next step in PRO Skijor’s effort to take a sport long rooted in Western mountain communities and build it into a connected professional competition with a broader national audience, while preserving the culture, character and traditions that have defined skijoring for generations. Each stop will feature racing, live music, local food, vendors, with the 2027 season culminating at the Frontier Tour Championship in Lake Tahoe, March 5–7.

Skijoring pairs a horse and rider with a skier racing behind them at high speed through a snow-packed course of gates, jumps, rings and obstacles. It is part equestrian competition, part action sport and unmistakably Western.

“The 2027 Frontier Tour represents the next chapter for PRO Skijor—bringing more communities, competitors and fans together around a sport that captures the speed, grit and spirit of the West,” said Brian Gardner, co-founder of PRO Skijor. “As we grow, our priority is to deliver a world-class competition while honoring the traditions and people who have made skijoring what it is.”

“Skijoring already has everything you want in a great spectator sport: speed, risk, incredible athletes, powerful horses and an atmosphere you simply can’t recreate anywhere else,” said Greg Lipstone, co-founder of PRO Skijor. “What we’re building is a professional platform worthy of the sport, while protecting the authenticity and Western roots that make it so special.
