RidersWest: This is it: SledTown ShowDown’s FINAL ROUND!

It’s April, and that means pretty well every motorized vehicle in Western Canada is getting a workout. As such, this month’s newsletter is packed with something for everyone, whatever you’re up to and whatever you’re riding:

Dirt biking in B.C.? Check.
Prepping for a motorcycle road test? Check.
Looking for top places to ATV in Alberta? Check.
Voting on Western Canada’s most beloved snowmobiling destination? Checkmate!

Many beloved snowmobiling destinations entered the competition, and now only two remain: Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, and Thompson, Manitoba!

Here’s a recap of the semi-finals:

British Columbia Provincial Champion vs. Alberta Provincial Champion:

Tumbler Ridge (912 votes, 54%) defeated Swan Hills (769 votes, 46%)

Manitoba Provincial Champion vs. Saskatchewan Provincial Champion:

Thompson (1,185 votes, 55%) defeated Hudson Bay (984 votes, 45%)

Well, well, well, look who decided to show up and shatter everyone’s March Madness bracket: Thompson, Manitoba—that’s who! Thompson had yet to win a provincial title coming into this year’s competition. Now they’ve upset the balance of power by knocking off both the reigning SledTown champs (Flin Flon) and Hudson Bay, the five-time provincial champions from Saskatchewan. Can Thompson cement its place in history by becoming the winner of SnoRiders’ 9th annual SledTown ShowDown?

Tumbler Ridge has been here before, when the prolific SledTown won the whole shebang back in 2019. Can Tumbler Ridge scale these lofty heights once again and claim a second SledTown ShowDown championship?

You decide!
