The first snow has come (and gone in most places) and it's
definitely fall so it's perfect time for the Intermountain Snowmobile Show in Utah.
Sponsored by SnoWest Magazine
and the Utah Snowmobile Association, the Intermountain Snowmobile Show is this
Friday and Saturday, Oct. 21-22, at the Salt
Lake County
Events Center
in South Jordan, a suburb of Salt Lake
City. Times for the snow show this year are Friday
from 3-9 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Definitely one of the highlights of the snow shows is the
opportunity to see all the new sled models. The Intermountain Snowmobile Show
has your fix. You'll get to see the 2012 Arctic Cat, Ski-Doo, Polaris and
Yamaha snowmobiles.
After you pick out that new sled you'll want to stop by one
of the many trailer dealers to see which trailer might be a good transport for
your sled. Don't stop there, though, as there will also be hundreds of
accessories and aftermarket parts to accessorize your sled as well as keep you
warm while riding it.
There will also be representatives from several sledding
vacation spots at the show to give you some ideas of great places to ride.
Even if you're not in the market for a new snowmobile, you
should be able to find an aftermarket part or two to help you ride another
year. And if the snow show isn't enough to get you revved up for the upcoming
season, you can pick up a snowmobile video while there and wear the DVD out
watching it as you wait for the snow.
Before you head home you will want to stop by one of the
many seminars we have planned. Learn how to take your riding to the next level,
know what to watch for and how to protect yourself in avalanche territory or
ask one of the experts how to make your sled run better.
We will also be working on our newest project sled. You can
watch as the SnoWest staff and other
invited sled builders bring to life the newest project sled, a Ski-Doo Summit.
Other great events planned for the Intermountain Snowmobile Show include the
annual vintage snowmobile display, as well as the newest addition, The Western
Power Sports/Ultimax Mod Show. That's
right, new this year is the Mod Show where you can compete for prizes when you
enter your tricked-out sled in the show. Bring all your friends and make sure
they vote for you as the winner is chosen by those at the snow show.
If you
didn't make it to Thief River Falls,
MN, for Arctic Cat's 50th
Anniversary celebration at the end of July, don't worry. The party will
continue as Cat celebrates its 50th Anniversary at the snow show.
Cat will
be showing the 50th Anniversary DVD in its booth and what a trip back through
time. You'll most likely recognize many of the commentators and racers as they
share their passion for Arctic Cat.
Cat is
also inviting Arctic Cat fans to join it for lunch at each of the SnoWest snowmobile shows. You can
stop by the Arctic Cat booth wearing your Arctic Cat "colors" to
receive your ticket for lunch, which is sponsored by Arctic Cat. Lunch will be
served at 11:30 a.m.
We will also be giving out lots of door prizes.
When you stop by the SnoWest
booth to renew your subscription to our magazine, make sure you get your name
entered into our latest contest, the 12 Days of SnoWest. This prize package is the biggest we've ever put together
and you'll want to make sure you have a shot at the many different prizes we're
giving away.
Don't forget the annual swap meet, which takes place
outdoors on Saturday.
These are just the highlights of what you can expect at the
Intermountain Snowmobile Show. Keep an eye on www.intermountainshow.com for
