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 19th 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 on this list. Our readers also want to try snowmobiling in places they haven’t been, such as Alaska, Montana and Wyoming. And we list our readers’ favourite snowmobile tour companies too. If you’re hankering for a new sled this year, check out our recommended dealers. Tired and hungry after a day of sledding? Our readers reveal their favourite resorts and restaurants.
