Isn't it weird that this sled event is being held at a location where you can not sled...?

sounds like maybe the exact reason its there, to attract people who maybe haven't been exposed to it before.

If I remember right the Calgary Snowmobile Club had a deal going with the ski hill till the government stepped in and changed it. The ski hill enjoyed the money the sledders spent in the cafe and lounge. Maybe this will get some interest. Sledders and skiers are getting along better than ever. Ask VARDA they are banking on the new way of sledboarding/sking to open up a new trend in the market. the more riders and a broad range of users is a good thing for our recreation and the snowmobiling industry.

Did anyone get out to see the show?

 

[Summit X]

I went. It was a pretty good show. It was what I expected. I'll see if I can get a couple pictures up tonight.
