Video and photos: Revelstoke Snowarama 2015 sled drag races

The Revelstoke Snowmobile Club’s Snowarama 2015 featured sled drag racing at Glacier House Resort on Sunday, Mar. 15.

It was the second year of the new format which allows those without sleds to attend and take in the races.

The turnout was larger than 2014, helping raise more funds for the Easter Seals, the traditional beneficiary of the club’s vintage ride, which was on Saturday.

Here, we’ve got a video and photos from the Sunday event. In the video, we speak with Daniel Kellie, owner of the Glacier House Resort and current president of the Revestoke Snowmobile Club. (We had a bit of an issue with our mic, so the audio’s not the best — sorry!)
