Mountain America Credit Union partners with PRO Skijor for Frontier Tour launch

Mountain America Credit Union has announced its partnership with PRO Skijor, serving as the presenting sponsor for the inaugural Frontier Tour. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the sport of skijoring in North America.

Set to begin in January, the Frontier Tour is recognized as North America’s first professional skijoring series. This new tour will bring together top athletes and fans from across the region, showcasing the excitement and competitiveness of skijoring.

The series will culminate with Championship Weekend in Salt Lake City set for Feb. 27-March 1, where the best skijoring athletes will compete for top honors. This final event is expected to draw significant attention and celebrate the achievements of the participants throughout the tour.

Each stop on the six-city circuit will deliver an all-day celebration of snow, speed and Western spirit, complete with live music, local food trucks, and family-friendly fun. The season includes the best riders, skiers and horses in the country who will compete for the title and a serious cash purse.

It is co-founded by Utah skijoring pioneers Brian Gardner and Joe Loveridge, the duo behind the popular skijoring Utah events and longtime members of the skiing and equestrian communities.

“Mountain America is proud to serve as the presenting sponsor of the 2026 PRO Skijor Frontier Tour. This exciting event brings together athletes, families and communities across Idaho, Montana and Utah — regions we are honored to call home,” Rob Brough, senior vice president of marketing and chief marketing officer for Mountain America Credit Union, said in a release. “PRO Skijor showcases the spirit of adventure and connection that defines the Mountain West, and we are thrilled to support an event that celebrates both tradition and innovation. We look forward to joining spectators and participants throughout the tour as we help strengthen the communities we serve.”

“The entire PRO Skijor team is incredibly excited to partner with Mountain America Credit Union as the presenting sponsor of PRO Skijor’s inaugural Frontier Tour,” said Gardner. “Their commitment to community and the adventurous spirit of the Mountain West aligns perfectly with everything skijor represents: the grit of riders, the skill of skiers, and the power of world-class horses in the fastest-growing sport and festival series in the West.”

The five main tour divisions – competing for points, titles and cash prizes – include:

• Pro-Open: Elite-level athletes.

• Sport: Intermediate-level athletes.

• Women’s: Women’s novice-to-intermediate level teams.

• Snowboard: Novice-to-intermediate levels competing against other snowboarders only.
