Banff Skijoring Canceled for Good

Banff’s beloved skijoring event is officially canceled for good after this year’s chaotic surge overwhelmed the town—traffic gridlock, blocked emergency routes, public drinking, and litter turned a viral winter spectacle into a safety nightmare. Despite bringing in cash during a slow season and doubling attendance thanks to social media hype and perfect weather, organizers spent five months trying to fix it without compromising safety. With no viable solution and a bittersweet nod from the mayor, the town prioritized athlete, horse, and crowd well-being over nostalgia—though a future return isn’t ruled out if the stars align.
