May 2008 | Welcome to the SnoRiders eNewsletter
By this time, most sledders have put their machines away; however, just because winter’s over doesn't mean our snowmobile fever will melt away. SnoRiders continues to bring you riding stories from this past season, information on summer events and anything else we can round up from the snowmobile industry. This month's newsletter features our ride reviewer Dwayne Brandly's amazing experience in Kamloops, B.C.

FERNIE, BRITISH COLUMBIA
The novice speaks
Expectations are high when you are a novice snowmobiler. “Novice” is what my boss called me based on my one and only five-minute solo snowmobiling experience in Naples, Idaho, a year ago. |
Hotshots contest
One of the most popular features on SnoRidersWest is our hotshots contest. Throughout the winter, we receive dozens of photos—some of which appear in our printed magazine—of snowmobilers taking jumps, getting stuck and generally having a great time. Although the hotshots contest is closed for the summer, you can still send us your photos and we will post them on the hotshots page. Thanks to everyone who submitted photos this past season—keep 'em coming. |
A new and improved website
Our sister site, RidersWestMag.com, has been redesigned; now it loads faster, is easier to read and we believe it is more appealing than its predecessor. Visit the home page for a preview of what SnoRidersWest.com will eventually look like. |
