Skiers, dogs to give skijoring a try

Shelley Richards and Luna enjoy skijoring at Mount Spokane nordic trails, were dogs are allowed on a certain trail Sunday and Wednesday afternoons after 2 p.m. (Diana Roberts)

SKIING -- If your dog has any pull around the house, its probably game for trying the skijoring demo at Mount Spokane on Sunday.

Meet at 2:15 p.m. on the nordic ski trails where Linder Road passes ski trail Junction 1 (skiers an tell you where that is).

"We bring the dogs and harnesses," said organizer Diana Roberts. "You bring your skis and poles. Skate skis provide better mobility for some skiers, but classic skis are fine too."
