Mt. Brighton Snowmobile Hill climb '08

We have been giving some thought to adding some new winter race events....have a few feelers out to private ski clubs to renting a run for a weekend. I was just looking to see if there would be enough interest to make a Hill Climb race feasible....There would be vintage and newer machine classes....check out this vid for the general idea of the races, and let me know your opinion. Would there be interest in an event like this?

Ready to Roll!

February 12, 2011-Alliston, Ontario

Snowsquall Live Vintage Ride is ready to roll!  The snow cover is great, and the races await!  A new bridge over the creek has opened up twice as much riding space as previous years.

This year we have special guests.  HUS-SKI is celebrating their 50th Anniversary, and have decided to join us for the day!  HUS-SKIs from far and wide are descending on Alliston for the weekend.  A special display will be on site, including all models of the HUS-SKI/Diablo line.  If you have never seen these snow machines, they are really different from a traditional snowmobile.

A block of rooms has been reserved at the Red Pine Inn, as well there is a Meet and Greet with food and drinks at the Red Pine Conference Center, Friday, February 11, from 5-10pm.  Just mention “Vintage Ride” and you’ll get the preferred rate of $100/night at the Red Pine.

After the success last year, the Radar Runs and the Sled Slalom return!  Test your speed on the radar runs, and your agility on the slalom course.  This year you can run the course in a timed single run, as well as snow cross style, 4 at a time as a race.

Gates open at 8am, and the event runs til sundown.  Coffee is on hand, and lunch will be available from 11am to 2pm.

Riders over 14 must carry our liability insurance, at a cost of $20 for the day.  Riders under 14 are insured under their parent, but must have a waiver signed by their parent.  Parking attendants will register you and have you sign the waiver as you arrive.

Come out and enjoy a full day of Vintage Sledding!  For those with passes, OFSC Trail 424 is accessible from our location!

See You There!!

Bridge is Complete!

We finished the bridge over the creek on the weekend!  We have now doubled our space for riding!
Check out what happens when I have a day off, and am left alone with the kids markers!  Our trail map!  Can't wait to see these trails filled with people for the 3rd Annual Snowsquall Live Vintage Ride!
