BIG NEWS FOR MIDWEST SKIJORERS CLUB

It is with great pride the Midwest Skijorers Club announces President Jim Benson was selected by the International Federation of Sleddog Sports (IFSS) for participation in its NORDIC TRAINING CAMP in Sweden in February, 2010!

Jim was chosen from a group of 33 high caliber applicants from around the world. He was chosen for his skiing ability, skijoring experience, race record and for his unending support of the sport of skijoring through his tireless training classes and presentations- many of which are now used throughout the world, acquiring skijoring trails, both locally and out of state and his use of the media to promote skijoring, locally, nationally and internationally. He was also chosen on recommendation and support of the National Federation and on the consultation and recommendation of the Norwegian and Swedish Federations as the providers of training and facilities.

The primary goals of the camp are to improve the abilities and performance of those wishing to compete in the Nordic Disciplines at the IFSS World Championships in Norway in 2011, and more importantly to our club, to give the training camp participants the skills and tools to enable them to go back to their own countries and educate others, further helping to develop skijoring and pulka.

On behalf of all the club members of the Midwest Skijorers Club
