Led by wins in the Women 600 Stock class by Sammi Rogers and the Pro Senior Mod class by Mark Thompson, Ski-Doo riders captured a total of 13 podium finishes on the season’s opening weekend.
Unfortunately, it was not all good news for the team as top Pro contender Blaine Mathews was injured during one of his last runs of the day and will miss significant time due to a shoulder injury. He is expected to make a full recovery.
