Skijor in the normal direction of travel. Most trails open to skijoring are also open to dog teams, skiers, mountain bikers, snowmachiners, etc. Also be on the alert for moose. Stay alert and plan ahead for any trail obstructions or hazards such as road crossings or driveways, turns, skiers, mushers, wild animals or motorized vehicles. During poor light periods, be sure to turn your headlamp on and wear reflective material on your gear and clothing so that other trail users may see you.
Control is extremely important.
Keep maximum control. Be polite and kindly announce to the person your intentions. Remember, not everyone has seen skijorers before and they may not know what to do. Be patient and in control. After being passed by someone, wait awhile to allow some distance between you and the team that passed you.
