We heard they were towards Babine Lake Road past the garbage dump. So&#8230;With that knowledge, we headed off! Luckily we discovered a couple of signs marking the route. The road was rather slippery after we passed the garbage dump, but soon we saw evidence of snowmobile tracks running through the woods and surrounding area. It cost $10 per person to enter; however, apparently the races started about 10 a.m. and as we missed the morning we were only charged $5 each. Deirdre and I joined others sitting on the wooden bleachers for a couple of races but then departed. The freezing cold, shade, and icy wind drew us back down to stand in the sun. In each race, two snowmobiles raced against each other down a straight run way. Then the next 2 racers would line up and race. etc. The &#8220;King&#8221; category hosted the biggest and fastest snowmobiles. The top speed of the day was 105 mph. I&#8217;m not sure why the speed was measured in mph rather than km?<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-2285 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure
