Even if you’re not particularly keen on snowmobiles, you’ll love this exciting event, which appeals to every age group. There’s a family area, live shows, music, displays of vintage snow machines and last but not least, the races themselves. Come for the ambience, the excitement and the vroom, vroom, vroom!
