Snoman Inc. has been operating since 1975, advocating for the snowmobiling sector and supporting 53 volunteer clubs province-wide.

Club members groom and sign the trails with funding that comes from Snoman through the sale of Sno Passes, which every snowmobile rider in the province should have if they are accessing these trails.

Yvonne Rideout, Executive Director of Snoman, says Manitoba has lots to offer snowmobilers.

“We have 13,000 kilometers of snow mobile trails throughout the province and to put that into perspective, that is the third largest in Canada only behind Quebec and Ontario.”  

Rideout said that the pandemic played a large role in introducing younger people to  the sport.

There was a 16 per cent increase in snowmobile sales at the time, as people were looking for ways to socialize safely and according to pandemic protocols.
