SnoRiders’ 8th annual SledTown ShowDown has ended with a first: Flin Flon, Manitoba, has won the entire competition for the second time! Never before has a snowmobiling destination ascended to the highest peak twice—until now.
On its path to victory, Flin Flon (7,216 votes, 66%) flew through Hudson Bay (3,671 votes, 34%) in the finals.
During all six rounds of the competition, Flin Flon consistently racked up the most votes of any competitor across all four Western Canadian provinces. The only time Flin Flon failed to garner the most votes was way back in Round 1, when Hudson Bay kicked off the contest with more votes than anyone.
In head-to-head competition, Flin Flon has only been outvoted in one round over the past three years, which was during Round 3 of last year’s SledTown ShowDown to the eventual winner, Lac du Bonnet. That lone setback is the only blemish on Flin Flon’s record over the last three seasons. Flin Flon has won two of the past three SledTown ShowDowns and has been Manitoba’s provincial champion for three of the last four years.
Congratulations to Flin Flon, Manitoba, your SledTown ShowDown 2022 champion!
