2 - OFSC, District & Destination Pro's 

32,000km of trails that lead to thousands of destinations—this is your opportunity to get the lowdown and local knowledge on the trails and places to ride. You're going to be blown away by the knowledge these people have! They are there to help you so make sure to ask any questions you may have.

4 - Custom Snowmobiles & Powermodz Crew

The custom snowmobile display includes both snowmobiles and side by sides this year and is sure to wow the entire family. Each year the Busted Knuckles crew brings something new that pushes the limits of what we thought was possible. The PowderModz Youtube crew of Ottawa will be filming episodes right at the show, stop by and meet Louis and get your mug on the show. 

5 - Manufacturers 

We've come a long way since last year and there is a lot of new stuff to see. You're going to want the chance to check the new, first ever adjustable carbide Pilot TS ski from Ski-Doo; sit in the seat of the 5-speed manual Yamaha YXZ1000R side by side; ask about the impressive design of the Polaris AXYS sleds and admire Arctic Cat's XF Cross Trek's versatility. We're also going to see Honda, John Deere, CFMOTO, Kubota, Kawasaki and much more! 

6 - OFATV and Clubs

With recent changes to the off-road vehicle act permitting UTV and 2up ATV riding on municipal roads it is important to verify with local clubs and municipalities that they have enacted by-laws to permit use. The passionate folks from the Ontario Federation of ATV Clubs will help you get on your way by providing on-the-ground knowledge of great rides. This is also a great opportunity to find out about trying a winter ATV experience.

7 - Used Snowmobile & ATV After Market & Used Parts 

If you're in the market for a used snowmobile or ATV this is a great opportunity to find some of the best deals of the year. The selection is diverse and covers all manufacturers and model years giving you lots to look at and decide on. If you can't find what you're looking for here stop on by and check out Sleddealers.ca. Make sure to check out the used parts section and dig through the bins, you're bound to find something you or a friend needs. 

8 - Vintage Snowmobiles

Over the last few years I've always taken the time to stop and admire each of the vintage snowmobiles. It amazes me how far our snowmachines have come. You will really enjoy each snowmobile's uniqueness and how well they have been cared for. Best of all you might even find one of your previous sleds triggering an instant flashback!  

9 - ORPS Parts

Jim and the team at ORPS Parts from Newmarket, Ontario are known for providing some of the best service in the industry. They cover Sled, ATV, UTV, Bike and Marine industries. ORPS parts always extends the offer to bring the parts you need and to meet you at the show—all you have to do is send them an email. 

10 - Lodges & Resorts

It's easy to get complacent with the volume of things to see but make sure to stop in and chat with the fine people from one of the various lodges / resorts. These people are at the show because they want you to have an amazing motorsport experience. There is nothing better than being welcomed by fellow powersport lovers while on a riding adventure. I'll bet that you will find a experience that will make great memories. 

Finally make sure to hunt me down at the show! I'll be volunteering at the Northeastern Ontario Tourism booth as that's where I call home. If I'm not there ask around, I won't be far!
