All about snow!

The BC Snow Show returns to Vernon today and tomorrow, with all the latest machines, gear and accessories for those who love to ride in the snow.

“We have the latest technology for avalanche gear and also the latest in snow bikes and snowmobiles,” said Ben Drodge, president of the Vernon Snowmobile Association.

Drodge said the snow bike is a popular trend, although it has yet to take over the from the snowmobile.

“It's just new and exciting and it enables a rider to get into hard to reach places, it's nimbler.”

As well, Drodge said kits allow a person with a dirt bike to convert it from a summer to a winter sports vehicle.

The BC Snow Show takes Friday, 5-9 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., at Kal Tire Place.

“It's Black Friday and there will be lots of sales,” Drodge said.

More than 14,000 attended last year's show, with the VSA raising more than $13,000 for the Easter Seals Snowarama Kids campaign.
