We’re down to the Sweet 16 in the 2019 SledTown ShowDown contest. The provincial semi-finals will separate the wannabes from the true title contenders. Who will emerge victorious in this rigorous battle for snowmobiling supremacy?
Here are a few of the highlights from Round 2:
- In B.C., Tumbler Ridge racked up the most votes in the province, tallying 450 votes to move past Blue River and into a heavyweight bout with Revelstoke.
- Fox Creek, Alberta, once again garnered the most votes of any SledTown, this time with 619.
- Fun fact: Carrot River/Arborfield and Hudson Bay each won their respective round 2 competitions with exactly 355 votes. Barring an upset, it seems likely those two SledTowns will meet in the finals.
- The tightest race in Round 2 took place in Manitoba. Lac du Bonnet (51%) squeaked past Lee River (49%). Can Lac du Bonnet keep the momentum moving past Thompson?
