It has been a popular part of Banff’s winter festival but has become a little too popular.

In January it drew so many spectators that streets and sidewalks were clogged and there were issues with parking and unruly behaviour.

Organizer Skijor Canada, in a statement, says Banff's tourism branch has decided to pull the event from its future SnowDays Festival lineup. 

Banff has struggled with big crowds for other celebrations, and next week’s Canada Day event will begin earlier in the day to try to reduce late-day traffic buildup.
