Plan on Participating in Take a Friend Snowmobiling Week APress release from Ed Kilme Oct 28 2008 This elongated week celebrates friends and family snowmobiling for 9 days including two weekends. The snowmobile week was introduced to go hand in hand with the Take a Friend Snowmobiling campaign and has been developed to encourage all of us to take our non-snowmobiling friends out snowmobiling. We have all had many conversations, telling stories about how much fun it is to take people snowmobiling, and many of us are realizing that we have a lot of non-snowmobiling friends to take snowmobiling.
a. Proper operation of the brake and throttle b. Shifting weight and slowing down in curves c. Staying on the right hand side of the trail d. Dismount the snowmobile on the right hand side of the sled e. Make sure the vehicle is in good mechanical order f. Make sure your friend is appropriately dressed and sober A key ingredient to a good time for a first time snowmobiler is for us seasoned riders to make sure non-snowmobilers are comfortable when they first get on a snowmobile. You need to be cautious and ride slow when taking out a new rider. You should plan on making numerous stops and enjoying the scenery. It is always recommended that the first ride be rather short and include a stop for a light meal or hot chocolate or coffee and a little camaraderie and storytelling at the local restaurant, clubhouse or outdoor barbecue area. Clubs are encouraged to participate in the activity and try to hold a special day or weekend encouraging members to bring non-snowmobiling friends to the clubhouse to go for a short ride and discover what snowmobilers do during the winter. This effort follows the guidelines and recommendations our customer research presented to us, which showed us that non-snowmobilers know very little about snowmobiling. Most non-snowmobilers don’t know where the trails are, really don’t know who builds and maintains and pays for the trail systems, and have no idea of the beautiful scenery that we enjoy and the fun that we have in the winter riding our snowmobiles. We also know folks that don’t snowmobile rate their desire to go snowmobiling a solid 9 on a 10 point scale. All we need to do is ask. We have all heard the stories of snowmobilers taking friends out, and much to their surprise the friends enjoy themselves so much, they end up buying a new or used snowmobile to join in the winter fun. What a pleasant surprise that is for all of us and why not encourage our family and friends to join us outside this winter on a snowmobile? As a special incentive to take non-snowmobilers snowmobiling, the manufacturers will give away a new snowmobile to a lucky individual who registers online and participates in the Take a Friend Snowmobiling Week event. Beginning in December 2008, the Take a Friend Snowmobiling Week Registration Form will be prominently displayed ... on the Go Snowmobiling web site: www.gosnowmobiling.org http://www.gosnowmobiling.org/, the ACSA web site: www.snowmobilers.org http://www.snowmobilers.org/ the CCSO web site: www.ccso-ccom.ca http://www.ccso-ccom.ca Non-snowmobilers and their snowmobiling friends need to fill out the registration form to be entered in the drawing for a new snowmobile. If a Club is interested in organizing an event, not only do all of their club members who participate get to register to win the snowmobile, but so do their guests and the club get to register to win as well. The registration form will be easy to fill out. Try to involve your local dealer(s), ski Hill, Chamber of Commerce and local restaurant. All of us collectively can really expand the idea and make this week an annual event. So plan on participating if you are going to be snowmobiling from February 14-22, 2009 and make sure to register on one of the three web sites and take advantage of this opportunity to win a new snowmobile and have fun doing it. # # #

We hops to talk to you soon, or see you on the trails this winter in Quebec! zw
Tuesday, October 21, 2008 Montreal QC - - October 22, 2008: That's me on the left - In the centre is Marc Thibeault from www.motoneiges.ca , and on the right is Bob Petit, Quebec author, broadcaster, and snowmobile pioneer in Quebec. All three of us are using the Internet to promote truth, safety, sobriety, and sanity on Quebec Trails. We also write about the new technology, trail conditions, destinations, and more. We have all but abandoned the printed page, owned by the man, for the freedom and power of the Internet. Visit Bob's website here.. http://www.bobpetit.ca/ Bob uses hundreds of photos and videos to chronicle the history of ATV and snowmobile activity in Quebec, and much much more. Bob has a unique perspective, because he was organizing snowmobilers back when it all began in the 1960's, and he has been recognized by everyone, and every level of government and ngo's for over 40 yrs of volunteerism. He has won every snowmobile tourism honour and award there is, and a few that were created just for him. He still writes weekly articles for local newspapers and appears on snowmobile tv shows regularly. He is Mr Snowmobile in Quebec, and deserves our recognition and our respect. He has built a small museum on his property, that documents the truth of Quebec's snowmobile development history. Get ahold of me, and I can set you up a personal tour. He is in St-Jean-de-Matha. http://www.zenwaiter.com/ has been "on the air" (Internet air that is) for nine years. I found it exhilarating to have the power to spread good helpful information to the snowmobile community, and I found it cool to be part of the snowmobile family. When I go to a show, I get hugs and appreciation from my readers. I feel I have helped many people to create family memories with their favorite sport, by helping them to organize holidays and avoid some pitfalls. This winter I am still pushing ahead with three Radio Podcasts a week, where I interview everyone and anyone about sledding. I am also experimenting with my web cast on Blog TV. This is where I broadcast live and record at the same time, then store the video on http://www.blogtv.com/ Search for Zenwaiter. I also have a regional photo album, a YOUTUBE station with over a hundred video clips, a discussion board and way more, too much to mention. Marc in the centre, heads up a popular French language snowmobile magazine that is growing online. There was a huge buzz around his booth at the Quebec City Sled Show. He told me in an interview on Zen Talk, that he hopes to provide snowmobile trail conditions, provide an events calendar, and has a special long trial period evaluation program, where five of his gang get a free sled to drive around all winter. I guess they write detailed reports for the readers on their impressions of the machines. (I wish I had thought of that idea - I still have to pay for my own sled after nine years! hahah). Good for you Marc! I hope your web site will live long and prosper. You sure have people excited about it, that's for sure. Most of the articles I found on his site are press releases from the manufacturers, which is handy. If I have time this winter, I'll send you a few of my own to re-print on your English side. http://www.sledmagazine.com/
This woman rides over 7,000 kilometers per year on some of Quebecs best trails, somewhere midway between Quebec City and Lac St Jean, the inland sea. She is no Internet pretender - she's the real article. A special ed school teacher by day, and a sledder every weekend. Visit her web site for more http://www.admdq.org/ This will be winter number nine for me online, talking about sledding. Did I make any money yet? Nope. I got a free jacket from a snowmobile apparel sponsor, and I get complimentary rooms now and again, but I feel I have earned all of that. I have paid my dues. I think this Podcast Radio thing on I-Tunes that I have going, just may one day pay off! Imagine if I-Tunes one day, allows me to charge one buck for every download of my show. Then I could pay my rent! Thanks everyone for reading this story. I hope to hear from you this winter. Come be a guest on my Zen Talk snowmobile radio show. Send me photos of your trip for my albums. Make comments on my disscussion boards about the trail conditions. Send in a cash donation if you win the state lottery! hahaha. (no really) or become a sponsor through your business. Stay safe out there, and feel free to email me if you have any qns about sledding in Quebec this winter. I'm connected! I'd love to help out if I can. Cheers!
