McBride is the most desired destination to ride in all of B.C.
During SnoRiders’ annual SledTown ShowDown competition, McBride was named British Columbia’s 2022 SledTown ShowDown provincial champion for the third straight year, and captured its fourth win in the last five years. In 2018, McBride was not only B.C. provincial winner, but was also the champion of the entire SledTown ShowDown competition.
The McBride Big Country Snowmobile Association (MBCSA) is an enthusiastic group of sledders who promote responsible sledding and are dedicated to making McBride a must-do sledding destination in B.C.
There are plenty of reasons for McBride’s third straight ascent atop B.C.’s SledTown ShowDown bracket. To provide further insight, Dave McLeod, new President of the MBCSA, explained why McBride is such a popular place these days.
