Guided snowmobiling tours
Sault Ste. Marie | Algoma Region, Virgil Knapp
If you’ve travelled through Northern Ontario during winter, you’ve likely seen signage, trails and facilities for snowmobiles, motorized vehicles on sleds designed to travel on snow and ice. This utilitarian mode of winter transportation is also a flourishing sport that attracts thrill-seekers of all ages and walks of life.
Somewhere between the power of the engine, the spectacular winter scenery and the crisp, clean air, snowmobiling delivers an invigorating adrenaline rush and an indescribable feeling of freedom.
