WinnipegFur Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Someone at work mentioned about this skijor even in banff... it happened about 2 weeks ago apparently... I decided to google it and OMG... you want a fur coat party?? Check this video and just search for Banff Skijor for other videos/images.. there are equal men and women wrapped in beautiful coats.. raccoons, mink, fox, coyote... Reading lots of posts though on other sites that this is a one off kind of event, and people don't dress like this on a daily basis.. If I was out that way though, Id definately be wearing my coats regardless of the day... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I see this woman wrapped in her fur, so beautiful and she is really happy and proud to wear it... So amazing to see many people's wrapped in fur... Surely, we don't found any difficulties for talking about fur with others males and females wrapped in fur... The paradise... We forget the young lady wrapped in her fur jacket with a fox fur hat... Too the family wrapped in fur... Edited February 5 by kev86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charfur Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Really nice. We definitely need more events where we can run around in our furs 🙂. Little search and find on the internet revealed quite a lot of people going out there in fur. But people don't dress like this on a daily basis???? That really has to change 😁 Edited February 6 by Charfur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev86 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Yeah, that's true but I think people who wear fur during this event wear also fur during daily time... That really awesome to see ladies and men's wrapped in fur... A fabulous event for find a life partner hahaha...

Id unfortunately hazard a guess that most of those furs will get put away til next years event... maybe Im wrong... And on a sidenote... this event is also in Calgary this coming weekend.. so I would expect to see the same!! Lots of furs for sure... Calgary's high/low temps for this coming weekend are -12C and -18C so I can only imagine the amount of furs to be spotted will be out of control!! Unfortunately, its a 13 hour drive to get there from Winnipeg .. I just looked at airfares and I could goto Hawaii for less! hahaha We have our annual festival here starting next week.. as much as the festival is supposed to be based around the voyageur and fur etc, you'll hardly see any at all... maybe Im wrong though.... Ive noticed lately as well, alot of the furs that are going up for sale on facebook market, consignment shops, and online buy and sell aren't lasting too long for sale.. they seem to be selling... thing is I never see any furs out at all... I went out yesterday afternoon for some physical activity.. it was -16 out, and people were dressed like it was -3 or something... I wasn't wearing any of my furs , but I sure wish I was after... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev86 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) I find these different events absolutely great, perfect temperatures for be wrapped in fur and meet others peoples who appreciate wear it too... I love their events focus about their different traditions... Yeah, me too, I don't see any fur coat around the street, just one voluminous fox collar. Honestly their temperatures aren't cold for see the fur around the street... Edited February 9 by kev86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
