10 Ontario Snowmobile Pages to Like This Winter
With snow now covering most of Ontario, social media feeds are alive with postings of long awaited first rides, snowmobilers packing trails and of course, groomers on the move to trail heads. It won’t be long now until we’re all out riding the fantastic Ontario Snow Trails!
In today’s busy, advertisement-filled social media feeds you sometimes miss out on the good stuff. In fact, believe it or not but less than 20% of fans actually see all of the posts from a page they like. Just because you click ‘like’ doesn’t guarantee you’re going to see every post—I know you wouldn’t want to miss out on an epic ride or reports of a t-rex sized snow storm! So here are a 10 people to follow to get the scoop on the snow fun this winter. Tip: Make sure you click the ‘follow’ button beside like on the respective pages.

10 - Me
I’d be a fake if I wrote about things that weren’t authentic. I would like to think my Instagram pictures and Facebook feeds demonstrate my passion for snow and riding, if not the type of articles I write should. In all seriousness—when I ride, I film and take pictures and I really enjoy sharing great sled news.
