is annual event held in Wisdom. It revolves around insane (my take) activity commonly known as skijoring. Skijoring is of course popular throughout snow country. Reindeer, dogs, horses and even automobiles provide the tow power. Meanwhile gritty skiers of all ages (in Wisdom from eight to eighty year-olds compete) mostly hang on for dear life; I suppose praying they don't catch an edge or perish the thought get tangled in the rope. No the red streak in the snow is NOT blood but rather orange die to give the skier's a better chance to spy the gates and jumps required to complete the run. Calcutta betting yesterday was announced as high as $450...OK, maybe "insane" is a bit too strong, especially considering how many brown vitamins a few hundred bucks might buy in the local watering holes.
