Sled Sicamous Kicks Off Winter with Annual Show & Shine Event

With the first hints of winter in the air, snowmobile clubs across BC are gearing up for another exciting season, putting in long hours both on the trails and behind the scenes to ensure everything is ready for riders. To help build the excitement for winter, Sled Sicamous hosted its annual Show & Shine event on October 26th at Big Dave's Lil’ Texas Smoke House.

The event saw over 41 unique entries, showcasing everything from vintage sleds to the latest high-performance models. Big Dave’s crew provided a fantastic setting and delicious food, welcoming visitors from all over, including participants who traveled from as far as Sylvan Lake, Alberta, as well as riders from Kamloops, Kelowna, and Vernon. Of course, plenty of locals from Sicamous came out to join the fun and check out the impressive lineup of sleds.
