Looking for your next sledding adventure? Whether you want to take off for a weekend or a week’s holiday, here are some great suggestions for the best destinations in our western provinces—British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba—as well as Yukon. These suggestions came from our readers who cast their votes in our 18th annual SnoRiders Rider’s Choice Awards. Whether you’re looking for mountain riding or groomed trails, deep powder or fabulous scenery, challenging sledding or family-oriented trails, you’ll find it all on this list. Our readers also want to try snowmobiling in places they haven’t been, such as Ontario, Alaska and Yellowstone National Park. If you are hankering for some fun new products or need some repairs to your ride, check out this list for readers’ favourite snowmobile dealers, too. What are you waiting for—start planning!
