Season 5:

The fifth season of SnowTrails TV rides in Yellowstone National Park in December. Join us on backcountry trails in West Yellowstone, where we enjoy breathtaking views from the summit of Two Top Mountain. A two-day guided tour of Yellowstone Park trails takes us through the steam geyser basins, highlighted by the winter splendor of Old Faithful. The second day of the snowmobile tour features many wildlife sightings as we share the trails with Yellowstone's wild buffalo. Majestic, frozen waterfalls highlight our visit to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River and we also hear about the development of snowmobiling in the area from some of its founders.

In early January, we enjoyed a few days of pristine powder riding at 10,000 feet in Wyoming, which was a fantastic and safe, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

February starts with the 39th annual, I-500 Snowmobile Endurance Race in Sault St. Marie, Michigan and the 20th annual For Women Only Ride in Gaylord, a benefit ride for Easter Seals. Near Munising, Michigan, we participated in a very well attended, two-day, trail-grooming workshop, plus trail and off trail riding in and around Seny, MI.

Up next, is a 5 day tour in Quebec, just above New York state in the Abitibi Timiskiming region, starting with VIP access to the prestigious Grand Prix De Valcourt race. We also visit the Bombardie Snowmobile Museum and enjoy several day's riding on some of Quebec's most professionally organized and maintained trail systems courtesy of the FCMQ, where we enjoy Quebec's unique style of French hospitality.

March brings us north of Minnesota to snowmobile in Sunset Country Ontario, riding 640 miles in 4 days with a visit to the White Otter Castle, built single-handedly out of logs and finished in 1912. Guided by local experts from the OFSC clubs of the year, it was truly a ride on the wild side, including many wilderness experiences on the saddlebag tour.

SnowTrails TV finishes up the new season visiting Polar Bears in Cochrane, Ontario and riding the northern corridor to Hearst, Ontario in the James Bay Frontier.
