Snowmobiler Michael Fidek is in love with the terrain around Yorkton. He stakes out the most exciting places to ride in untouched powder—this is one of his "secret stashes." Fidek is fortunate enough to live near the Yorkton/Good Spirit trail network, so he spends a significant portion of each winter indulging in some of the province's best sledding conditions.

Yorkton is the epitome of a snowmobile-friendly city. Sledders are permitted to ride their snowmobiles right into town, and there are two trails that directly extend into city limits.
The surrounding territory is equally inviting, with 400 kilometres of well-groomed trails to enjoy. The Yorkton Sno-Riders club is active in maintaining the trails and has warm-up shelters placed at regular intervals.
These are a few of our favourite images from this hospitable Saskatchewan community.
The Prairie Women On Snowmobiles are riding through Yorkton during their 2016 ride. This non-profit group hosts annual rides in Saskatchewan to draw provincial awareness and raise funds for breast cancer research. Over the past 18 years, they have raised nearly $2.5 million for this worthy cause.

The Easter Seals Snowarama is a family-oriented fundraising event held in Yorkton. The annual ride is put on by the Saskatchewan Abilities Council, and it never fails to draw an eager crowd. The 2018 Snowarama is slated to take place on February 10th, so mark your calendars!
