SKIJORING AT ESCAPADE ESKIMO is a simple, easy read about a relatively
new sport called skijoring at Escapade Eskimo.
The article is about a company (Escapade Eskimo) that has
introduced a new sport called Skijoring.
It is basically cross-country skiing with a little assistance from a dog,
pulling out front. It is a popular sport
because there is minimal equipment required.
You just need the basic equipment for cross-country skiing as well as a
tug rope and a strong, healthy dog. This
place is located just outside of Ottawa around scenic Otter Lake in Quebec. They have many trails that you can take so
you can have a very scenic, enjoyable day.
I can connect with the story because I live in the Ottawa area
but I have been to this area in Quebec a few times, particularly Otter
Lake. It has some beautiful
scenery. Since taking outdoor ed last
year, I have learned to cross-country ski and enjoy it. I have two dogs and I’m pretty sure that the
male dog would be perfect for this sport because he is strong, fast and loves
to run.
