This weekend is a free ride weekend on all trails thanks to Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries. The event starts on the 18th and runs until Louis Riel Day on the 20th.

This is the second year that Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries has hosted the weekend.

Those wanting to take part in the weekend need to head to www.snoman.mb.ca to register for a pass and then have that pass on their phone or affixed to their snow machine while they ride.

It's also "Sled Without Boarders" weekend, which is focused on encouraging riders from Ontario, Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Minnesota to ride Manitoba trails.
