Some North Coast votes could put Houston over the top in sled town competition

For most living on the North Coast, the concept of hopping onto a snowmobile and tearing off down a trail is but the tales of those brave adventurers who enjoy all four of our seasons.

The evidence is however on display around town that some in the region do enjoy the cold weather and all that it has to offer and for them.

And as the winter months kick off, there is now a chance to celebrate the excellent conditions found just a few hours to the east where Houston has some of the finest conditions to offer when it comes to a weekend out in the snow.

Houston has been taking on all comers in the finals stages of a competition with other Western Canadian communities in the Sledtown Showdown.

And now the Bulkley Valley community finds that it has made it into the Final match up

Voting opened yesterday as Houston takes on Yorkton, Saskatchewan for the title. And so far, so good with Houston into a fairly solid lead in the voting, which wraps up on December 31st

You can learn more about what the competition hosted by SnoRiders and sponsored by Polaris is all about and cast your vote here.

There's some helpful background as well on what Houston has to offer for outdoor enthusiasts, with a listing of the area trails found here and more articles of interest to review here.

The momentum for Houston has been impressive as communities and Chambers of Commerce from around the region rally the votes, looking to put the Bulkley Valley over the top by the time the voting stops at the end of the month.
