Support Your Sport: Elevate Your Overnight Snowmobile Stay

In a world filled with accommodation options competing for your snowmobile budget, the question is: are they giving back to the sport you love? In a time where every hard-earned dollar counts toward your chosen lifestyle, it's no longer about settling for the cheapest room.

While budget, and yes hot tub concerns, are still key, this winter let's ask: "Does the accommodator I am choosing to stay with support snowmobiling and have ties to the local club?" It's time to choose a business that not only meets your needs but also fuels our sport.

Forging Vital Partnerships

Local snowmobile clubs serve as the backbone of BC riding areas, ensuring well-groomed trails, inviting shelters, memorable events, and staunch advocacy for our sport. Behind the scenes, these volunteer-driven organizations also work hard to forge partnerships with businesses that share a commitment to their communities beyond their own profit margins.

Business partners, including various accommodations, offer financial support, industry expertise, in-kind resources, and valuable member discounts that help the clubs deliver exceptional experiences to you, the rider. Together, they're not just contributing to rural economies; they're engineering a snowmobiling ecosystem that's unwavering in its dedication. The catch? This dynamic only stays in high gear when riders like you step up and say, "I'm in."

How to Choose Snowmobile Club-Friendly Accommodations

So, you're ready to head out on that road trip but you want a sledder-approved stay that gives back. Here's how to find 'em:

  • Check Their Website: Accommodations that truly support our sport make sure you know it. Look for clear signs of involvement with snowmobile clubs, local events, and snowmobile advocacy. They don't hide; they flaunt it!

  • Dial Them Up: Call and ask about their commitment to local snowmobile clubs. If they're on board, they'll tell you. If they're not, let them know why it’s important to you and how they can get involved. 

  • Local Club and BC Snowmobile Federation Channels: Can't find the info you want? Check out the club websites and BCSF resources. They shout out the rockstars that back the sport, in bold letters, and on BIG signs to showcase their valued relationships.

  • Rider Network:  Lean on your fellow riders for the inside scoop. Online forums, social media groups, and club meetings are the spot for the real talk on accommodations that live and breathe snowmobiling.

Acknowledge Accommodator Support

Your choice of accommodations can go beyond just selecting them for your stay. Here are some impactful ways to show appreciation for the businesses supporting your snowmobiling adventures:

  • Online Engagement: Click partner logo links, like, comment, or share posts from accommodations on social media to amplify our collective voice. Analytics are an important way businesses measure value.

  • Make a Recommendation: Leave a positive review. Tag the accommodation in your posts to give them visibility in your network.

  • Express Gratitude: Take the time to send a thank you email or shake the hand of a partner at a club event.

  • Respectful Visits: Whether staying overnight or just visiting a lounge or restaurant for social hour, be respectful during your time there.


This season, don't settle for ordinary accommodations—opt for the extraordinary. Choose lodgings that resonate with your unwavering passion for snowmobiling, transforming each stay into a rewarding adventure. By supporting businesses deeply connected to the sport, you're not just booking a room; you're investing in the future of snowmobiling. So, gear up for a season of exceptional stays that not only meet your needs but also contribute to the thriving community that makes every ride unforgettable.
