The annual Winterfest Poker Ride by the Green Lake Snowmobile Club is shaping up to be a great event, with snow-packed trails and fun for the whole family, Feb. 10.
The event is a fundraiser for the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities.
Registration is at 10 a.m. at the clubhouse on South Green Lake Road and your cash donation is your entry fee. The first sled leaves at 10:30 a.m. and the rest will be staggered.
The route will take riders around Tin Cup Mountain, past Crater Lake, along Pressy Lake Road and down the Nolan Trail back to the clubhouse.
Key co-ordinator Peter McKie is reminding people to dress appropriately for the weather, as the ride is close to 50 kilometres long and could take up to 1.5 hours.
Participants will pick up poker hand cards along the way and once back at the clubhouse, a pile of prizes will be awarded.
McKie is anticipating good conditions for the ride.
"The trails will be groomed and should be in pristine condition. There's no lack of snow this year."
Riders under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult and helmets are mandatory for all.
A concession with burgers, hotdogs, chili, pastries and hot and cold beverages for purchase will be available.
For more information, contact McKie at 250-456-6806.
