Whitefish Winter Carnival

Cold temperatures couldn't keep hundreds of onlookers and more than 80 teams from participating in this year's skijoring event in Whitefish. A traditional part of the Whitefish Winter Carnival, galloping horses pull daredevil skiers over a series of three jumps. The fastest time wins.

@djtabish You may have $10, but I have the fleeting hope that I'll be a millionaire without having to do any work for it. #lazy
