The “Diamonds in the Snow” Awards are put on by the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association (SSA) to recognize significant contributions and dedication to snowmobiling in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan snowmobilers and clubs nominate who they believe are their “Diamonds in the Snow.”
Due to Covid-19, there have been many changes to the format of this year’s AGM and DIS awards. For the first time in the association’s history, the SSA held the AGM virtually with all of the clubs, board members and staff meeting online.
While the SSA appreciates and recognizes the hard work of all of their volunteers, there are always a select few who truly go above and beyond. Every year the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association recognizes extraordinary contributions to snowmobiling by holding the Diamonds In the Snow Awards.
