The $5.00 donation fee was well worth the fun and with the proceeds going to the great volunteers of the North Valley Search and Rescue and the Flathead Snowmobile Association made it even better!
The level of riders ranged from trail riding beginners to boon-docking, tree dodging pro's! There proved to be a little something for everyone throughout the day! The snow proceeded to get better and better as we climbed higher, navigating the map and collecting our chips at the stations as we went!
They say if your not getting stuck your not having fun; this was all so true for many riders! The shovels and helping hands came in handy for adventurous thrill seekers who got into a few sticky predicaments!
It seemed, though everyone had their own group for the day, that we all came together at one stop along the trail! The warming hut made a great location for a break, a good conversation, and a place to warm our toes. The love of snowmobiling rang more clear than ever at this point, with the shiny-new, and the weathered-old sleds parked outside the hut, each telling their own story.
At the end of the day, chips in hand, we all met back in the parking lot for some chilli, hamburgers, and hot cocoa provided by the awesome men and women of the FSA, SFI, and NVSR. There, they announced the lucky winners of the prizes as well as the willing sponsors who gladly took part in the wonderful event!
All in all, the great snow, awesome company, and snowmobiles of every make model and year, made for an overly successful event and a stellar day of riding! Thank you to all who came out and supported and thank you FSA and TJ Wendt of State Farm Insurance for another wonderful weekend! Penco can't wait to see you again next year!
