Rider- Amber McMackin

I’m the jockey in the only sport where a horse, a rider, and a skier all simultaneously question their life choices while having the time of their lives! I steer the horse, encourage the skier, and pray we all stay upright. Think of me as the winter chauffeur of questionable decisions. I spend my days training horses to sprint through snow like majestic, slightly confused dragons while towing a skier who usually screams things like, “I’M GOOD, I’M GOOD—NO I’M NOT!”

My horses are athletes! Pistol Annie is literally chomping at the bit for this season! 

Snow, speed, chaos, teamwork—and a horse who secretly thinks she is a dragon. That’s skijoring, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

Melissa Flowe - Skier

Snowmobile? Horse? No problem.

Coming from a ski patrol background she is used to skiing with absurd objects and being pulled by fast machines. Now it’s time to add being pulled by an I've dragons to the mix.

This is her rookie event and it’s been something she has been dreaming about since she first laid eyes on the sport. Although new to this sport she is not new to competing. 

She has the need for speed and the need to win. She grew up on the East Coast playing  D1 Field hockey at University of Maryland. But don’t let her East Coast roots fool you. She has had a love for the west from the start.

Let’s GOOOO!!!
