“Research by the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association has shown that the
biggest deterrent to getting started in snowmobiling is not being able try it first,” said OFSC GO
Snowmobiling spokesperson, John Blaicher. “Our major objective and the primary benefit of the
Give It a Try Tour is to provide that all-important first taste, so I invite anyone that is interested to visit the tour Web site at tryriding.com.” ** You need to register through this website to participate because there's a limited number of spots.
