WINTERSPORTS — The groomed cross-country skiing trails at 49 Degrees North will be going to the dogs on Saturday, Jan. 23.

Leashed dogs will be allowed at the Nordic Center and on the trails for skijoring all day long when accompanied by their human wearing a trail pass.

Gone to the Dogs and Skijor Day is part of the growing popularity of skijorning in which enthusiasts on skis are pulled by harnessed dogs.
