Wintery Activities
Fun facts for today:
Have you heard of performance ice sculpting? Ask the performance ice sculpting group Fear No Ice what they are, and the answer will be along the lines of "Michelangelo meets Blue Man Group - with chainsaws". Wielding chainsaws, the performers blast through ice in about 15 minutes to create beautiful sculptures while rock musics blares in the background.
The novelty of new sports never cease to catch my interest. Recently, I became aware of skijoring. What is skijoring? Well, it's a combination of cross-country skiing with mushing. Yes, dogs pull you while you're skiing. Images of me flopping around in the snow while I try to get the dogs to stop running cross my mind. Yet, I think it may be fun to have the dogs help me along with skiing. If you want to give it a shot, there are several places, such as Telemark Inn, Voyageur and Klondike Ventures, and Trailsview Treks, that cater to skijorers.
