Some Notes ✏️✏️✏️
**Standings will be determined by average times of Saturday race and Sunday race. All timing is done by hand by 3 course timers. This is the best system for our weather, location, and team. If this is an issue for you, we highly recommend NOT racing. Saturday times will be posted to Facebook AFTER the crew has taken a breath and enjoyed some Kellen Smith and The Nate Champion Band!
**Course judges have the right to contest competitors that don’t appear to be in the correct division for their skill. Please be honest with us and yourselves–live up to the cowboy code!
**HELMETS: Helmets are REQUIRED for all skiers and snowboarders at the skijor! If you need to borrow a helmet in order to participate, please contact us by March 12th and we will arrange for lending you a helmet.
💪 SAFETY!
Please note that if course judges or Little Jennie Ranch Staff feel you are making unsafe decisions or actions that are endangering yourself, your animals, other competitors, or spectators, we will kindly ask you to take action or depart from the ranch. We value each and every one of you and want folks to go home happy and healthy. Keeping everyone safe is a team effort, so please join us in looking out for each other!
Please Call Faith and Jenna at 307-690-5536 or email us at skijor@thelittlejennieranch.com with any questions on registering!
Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have before signing up to be sure this is the best race for you. Keep in mind we both have full time jobs here at the ranch: we are ranchers, outfitters, and maybe even your neighbors and we put this race on for FUN! If you aren’t sure we are the best event, race, or programming for you, we highly recommend the many other fantastic races taking place this year! Please be considerate in any frustrations you may share with us, and we will do our absolute best to help you and make the race a huge success!
Long Live Skijoring!
