He miraculously survived and after a long hard rehabilitation he is doing very well and back sledding again. In appreciation for all the incredible work that the Mazankowski Institute has done for Greg and many others, we are hosting a fundraiser sled ride in Ministik.

Is the night ride a guided ride, same as the new years eve ride?

 

[ssjrmk]

I think this is an awesome cause. I hope lots of people come out for the ride.

 

[Ministik Man]

Is the night ride a guided ride, same as the new years eve ride?

YES - we will guide you through the trails at night as far as we can get from the parking lot and then sell you a return trip back to the parking lot Ha ha ha (just kidding)

It will be guided just like the News Years Eve Ride with guides at the front & back of the line, on the safe groomed trails...

Hope to see you there
