Get ready for a winter spectacle where mountain ski culture meets western grit. January 23-25th 2026 at The Estes Park events complex, you’ll find skiers, horses & riders teaming up and tearing across a snow-packed track filled with gates, jumps and obstacles, combining speed, skill and synergy in one incredible display

But it’s more than just the race:

• Cheer from the sidelines or join in on the fun with the Novice division, where newcomers can experience the thrill without needing years of training.
• Explore the Mountain Shop Warming Hut Expo—an indoor hub of local vendors, gear showcases and warm up spaces where you can watch the event live.
• Bring the family: while competitors fly down the course you’ll also find kid-friendly activity zones, food truck rows, craft brews and mountain-town hospitality.

Why Estes Park? Nestled amid the Rockies, this event taps into both the region’s rich ski legacy and its western horse-heritage. It’s adrenaline-charged, but still deeply rooted in this mountain community and its wide-open spirit.

When you stay at Expedition Lodge, you’re just minutes from the center of it all, and the lodge provides a warm, inviting retreat at the end of a high-octane day.

Pack your layers. Bring your camera. Bring your sense of wonder. Because the Estes Park Skijor isn’t just a race, it’s winter adventure at full throttle.
