The time has finally come for those who drive a snowmobile to start preparing for the big SledTown ShowDown Provincial Championship.The winner of last year's competition was Swan Hills. Everyone in that town is excited because it will open the town to more tourism. The increase of tourism will bring a spike of income to businesses such as hotels, restaurants, retail shops and other local businesses. The local Swan Hill club is called the Swan Hills Snow-Goers. All the locals are ready as the snow falls to get back to using their favourite trails and finding new trails to enjoy. A number of the Snowgowers are looking forward to picking up their new sled for this season. We have found that many young people are taking up the sport with a youth pass only $40 for the season. Trail passes are also reasonable at $25 for a day pass or $80 for the season.
