Whitefish Skijoring moves to county fairgrounds
Whitefish Skijoring is gearing up for its 20th anniversary celebration, take two, scheduled for Jan. 30–31, 2027 at its new home at the Flathead County Fairgrounds in Kalispell. The popular winter event brings together horses, riders, and skiers for two days of fast-paced competition. Teams race through a snow-covered course, navigating jumps and obstacles in a unique combination of horsemanship and ski racing. The move to the Flathead County Fairgrounds offers a new setting for the event, with covered grandstand seating overlooking the course, additional parking, food trucks, and a bar conveniently located near the spectator area. Whitefish Skijoring is a nonprofit, volunteer-run organization that relies on the generosity and dedication of local businesses, sponsors, volunteers, competitors, and supporters to bring this unique winter event to the Flathead Valley each year. The event's roots go back to the first renditions of the Whitefish Winter Carnival, when skijoring took place on Central Avenue in downtown Whitefish. The event later moved to the Mountain Trails Saddle Club on Wisconsin Avenue, where Stumptown Ice Den now stands, until it was discontinued in the 1970s. In 2003, skijoring returned. The original 20th anniversary of the event, per its 2003 revival, was planned for Feb.

William “Bill” (Pancho) Titus
William “Bill” (Pancho) Titus July 4, 1950—Oct. 12, 2026 Bill experienced a difficult childhood in Los Angeles, California and joined the Army at the age of 17. He was trained as a radarman but upon arriving in Vietnam was assigned to a LRRP unit. For the next 15 months his only thought was survival. He returned from Vietnam as a highly decorated veteran, but as was common at the time amongst disillusioned vets, he threw all his medals away. The one medal he saved and was proud of was the CIB (Combat Infantryman's Badge). Upon discharge from the Army, Bill moved to eastern Oregon and began a successful career as an auto mechanic and married Marlene. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of engines, guns and anything mechanical. Bill and Marlene moved to the Astoria area early in the 1980s and started a restaurant called Pancho Villas in Uppertown, Astoria, Oregon. By all accounts it was a very good Mexican restaurant, but his personal life was not going well. Soon the restaurant closed and Bill and Marlene were divorced. He was referred to the VA for help. Bill was reluctant to have anything to do with the VA, but in time
