No stranger to sledding, Lyle Birnie has been snowmobiling in the Westlock area since 1964—his first machine was a ’62 Sno Scoot. He’s come a long way since then.
Currently vice-president of the Alberta Snowmobile Association, Birnie enjoys trail riding on his 1998 Ski MXZ or 1996 Arctic Cat Puma.
A lover of fresh air and the great outdoors, Birnie describes an ideal ride as one “rides for 30 or 40 miles, stops for a wiener roast, and then rides another 30 miles.”
Future riding plans for Birnie include a trip to the Crowsnest Pass to explore the many trails and logging roads that are a sledder’s dream.
