Skijoring pairs a horse and rider with a skier racing behind them over snow. Colorado’s 2027 circuit currently includes seven events with announced dates and three more listed with dates to be confirmed. The map below helps you compare the statewide season, while Grand Lake offers a compact lakeside weekend and Leadville remains the historic high-altitude street race, held since 1949.

Follow Colorado’s skijoring circuit from January to March.

Solid markers have announced 2027 dates. Outlined markers are listed by Skijor USA with dates still to be confirmed. Pins show host cities for trip planning—not exact course entrances.
