Snow-X in Barrie Jan.29 and coming again in Feb.11/12

The racing and track were excellent in Barrie this past weekend. Due to low snow conditions in the Orangeville area, the racing returns to Barrie on February 11 and 12.

The 2012 race sleds can sure fly!

Vintage racers can fly too!


This is Wayne Slute, former ice oval racer who takes his vintage racing VERY seriously.
How many El Tigres can you spot?
Look closely and you'll see legendary racer Peter Van Dolder warming up a sled.
Dave Joanis won the Pro-Open race on Sunday!

The track is always big and the venue is superb!

Pinestone Resort : Jan 29th @ 1p.m Haliburton








A total of 8 riders showed up for our final afternoon tour in Haliburton. It was a great ride as the sun was shinning and the snow was glistening on the trails as we made our way to the hydro lines one last time. The Go Snowmobiling Team had a blast riding on Haliburton's beautiful trails and we would like to extend a huge thank-you to our volunteers Andy, Rosemary, Gwen, Bob, Mike and Dave who put up with us the whole time we were there -- without you this would not have ran as smoothly as it did! Another thank-you to all of you who came out to "Give it a Try," we hope you had just as much fun learning as we did teaching. Hopefully we will see you again soon.

Pinestone Resort : Jan 29th @ 9a.m Haliburton


















We woke up to our last morning in Haliburton to 2 ft of snow ! What a pleasant surprise.
I think the snowmobilers however were the only ones who were excited about it all... roads were barely cleared, and the doors could just open enough to get the riders into our conference room, but a whooping 15 of you showed up to play in the snow with us! We had a lot of fun and we are proud to say, the trails are in better shape then when we came.

Pinestone Resort : Jan 28th @ 1p.m Haliburton
















A full group of 16 riders in the afternoon made for an awesome, snow covered ride. The branches were draped with a heavy coating of snow as we winded our way through trails.. unfortunately (or should I say, luckily), this group got a real taste of snowmobiling as some sleds started over heating ! Not to worry, we all made it back safe and sound and had a great time--laughing along the way, as we made it back home.
