Snowmobile vacations offer complete package
One of the most ex-
citing new developments
in snowmobiling this year
is the snowmobile
vacation.
Inaugurated through
the participation of
Bombardier, a
manufacturer, and four
resort operators and two
snowmobile dealers, it is
possible to put
now
Snowmobilers have plenty of open territory here
Area good for enthusiasts
Snowmobilers in the
Goderich area have a
virtual paradise when it
comes to open territory.
There are several
areas for enthusiasts to
enjoy the sport around
Goderich and even clubs
catering, to the
snowmobile fraternity.
Hully Gully near Varna
offers excellent facilities
and will be staging poker
rallies and some races
during the season. They
also offer group ac-
tivities.
The Benmiller
For.esters stage their
annual marathon during
the last week of January
in which riders raise
money for the Cancer
Society. The course
generally covers a 50
mile track around the
Benmiller area. Watch
the° paper for further
details about the
marathon.
Many Colborne
residents have banded
together to form their
own snowmobile club and
hold regular group ac-
tivities and breakfasts
over the Winter months as
weather permits.

together a complete
snowmobile vacation
package for people who
don't own machines or
equipment, but want to
try out the sport.
The six locations are
widely spread around
Ontario giving access to
some of the best available
snowmobile trails:
Deerhurst Lodge in the
Huntsville area, High-
wayman Inn of Orillia,
Wig-A-Mog at Minden,
Red Bay Lodge in the
Bruce Peninsula, Al
Varney Marina at
Bradford and Temagami
Marine at Temagami.
At the resorts,
vacationers can rent
machines, suits, helmets,
boots and mitts for a
snowmobile safari.
Prices for rentals vary'
slightly with the
locations. Rentals only
(not including room or
meals) can range up to
$80 per day for one
machine, with suits and
equipment nominally
extra.
A weekend sports
package at the lodges
brings the price down.
The cost can be as low as
$66 a day per person for
room, meals, machine
and equipment, up to
about $105 a day.
Because the major
resorts work through
travel agents, it is best to
decide on location and
then a firm price can be
quickly established.
Snowmobile package
vacations have been a
long time coming and the
initial thrust is most
welcome. However, the
overall success or failure
of the venture will
depend, to a great degree
on what emphasis each
renting location places on
the safety of the rider and
how much instruction is
given prior to turning a
novice loose with a
machine.
Most locations promise
a snowmobile safari with
trail rides conducted by
experienced
snowmobilers, a must for
safe machine usage.
Each location also offers
a winter sports activities
package included in the
price.
At present, snowmobile
rentals are ancillary to
other winter sports ac-
tivities, but within a few
short years will become
an end unto themselves.
The major problems are
price and the
sophistication of modern
machines. There's too
much to go wrong and too
much power available for
inexperienced riders.
Ultimately, however, a
special rental machine
without much of the
complex equipment now
considered standard, will
.,be developed that will
cost far less to produce
and, thus, rent for con-
siderably less money.
