He's a Heber City native and a World Champion at skijoring. He showed off some of his skills on the track at the Wasatch County Events Center. He was whooping and hollering with joy as he skied through a slalom zone and went over jumps while being pulled by Jade the horse and her rider, Marquise Young."Slalom skiing mixed with snowcross. So there are jumps, slalom turns. Instead of just going down the hill, you're being pulled behind a horse," he said.
"You've got cowbells. You've got people screaming, the horses feel the energy. They're running as fast as they can go," he said."Cowboys, cowgirls, horses, skiers. You bring your Heber Valley crowd, your Park City crowd, and you're mixing some folks up and they have a good time," Loveridge said.
