CSC Fun Run(s)

[101110101101]

This is my first year joining a snowmobile club. I am looking at a little "fun run" card that they send out to members. There is a poker run I might like to try............

I can sled from point A to B and understand how to do that. I've played poker for years, and also understand how to do that......

How the hell do you combine sledding with poker? I have no idea how that works? lol

Can anyone fill in the gaps? How does it work? How much are "buy-ins"? How is there any "skill" involved or is it purely luck of the draw....? Thanks everyone.

It's just an excuse to go for a ride with the added bonus of "winning" something in the end.

You pick up cards along the way, then once you reach the destination whoever has the best had (or worst, etc) usually wins a door prize.

It's a good source of income for clubs too.

How much are buy-ins typically? I can't seem to see that anywhere... and I assume I'd have to bring cash?

Last one I saw was 50 for the first hand and lunch/dinner, I believe and 20 for each additional hand. Again, I believe.

Another question.... do you have to be a member to participate in the Poker Run? My sister-in-law has a sled and would ... but currently isn't a member. Money is tight this time of year, so I'm just asking to pass it along.

Any that I've seen, you don't. However if you're riding trails that require ASA pass, then she'll still need that. You DO usually get a discounted price if you're a member tho.

Here's an example of pricing for the Athabasca Rally 2 years ago. Couldn't find the 2015 ad.

All will be told at the club meeting tomorrow night, if you can make it. If not, a thread will be started after the meeting to address all details.

Poker rally are always a good time. Lots of socializing, riding, and like others have said a chance to win either cash or prizes. I've never done the Cataract one but have done Westlock, and Athabasca and I help out with the Alberta Beach one

I will be doing AT LEAST one this year. I rode in Athabasca the day of the rally, but not IN the rally. Not this year....

If a rally is on an ASA trail they do have day passes for $20/day.

I was mostly curious about the one at CC on the 16th.... Kaz said he would post a link after the meeting.... so that's the one I am keeping an eye out for.

 

[TylerG]

I can keep my eye open for it too, will share if I see it
