We all love to do things that get our heart racing and adrenalin pumping, so let’s live to do it another day.

Welcome to our SnoRiders safety contest.

Welcome to our SnoRiders safety contest.
Here’s how to play: Take a Canadian Avalanche Association approved (avalanche safety course) or take a provincially approved snowmobile safety course. Then, email us with a picture that shows you took the course (perhaps a photo with your instructor or holding your completion certificate.)

We will enter you into a draw for great snowmobiling safety products. You could win a Mammut Barryvox Beacon, from Avalanche Safety Solutions, SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger from Globalstar, Deluxe Ice Rider Bomber Jacket from Mustang Survival, a Backcountry Access Shovel, and other exciting safety prizes.

We will post all submitted photos on www.snoriderswest.com and draw one winner each month for the prizes. One draw will be made on the last day of each month. The contest will run until March 31, 2010. Sign up to a safety course and send in your photos for a chance to win. Remember to ride safe this winter.
