What Ever Happened to Skijoring?
FEBRUARY 1989

If you remember skijoring you probably were born during the first third of this century and our photo may trigger some nostalgia. Taken in 1920, it is being used this year by the class of 1927 for its birthday card. Shown are two '21s Dave Trainer and Seth Densmore skiing behind horses borrowed from a professor. Visible at the left are McNutt, Parkhurst, and Crosby. In the background at the far end of the Green is the White Church, destroyed by fire in 1931 and reconstructed a few hundred yards to the northeast. Baker Library was eight years in the future when the picture was taken by photographer Edwin Levick. Densmore became a CPA; Trainer became a professor of geology and supervisor of winter sports at Colgate. But what became of skijoring?
