Snow Goer November 2024 | Page 44

⊳ A mass of humanity gathered at the Backwoods / BMP Power Hour event Saturday afternoon to see who was going to win a brandnew snowmobile . Sadly , it wasn ’ t one of us .
The rapidly emerging CFMoto brand has become a staple at Hay Days . Aside from the cool ATVs , UTVs and motorcycles , their booth is also a great place to run into all sorts of former Arctic Cat , Polaris , BRP and Yamaha officials ! ▼
▲ The utilitarian Vaellan Snow + machine that ’ s being brought to the U . S . by Metsa Machines attracted a fair bit of interest , including by this young devil .
⊳ When things wrap up on the racetracks and in the vendor area , the attention shifts elsewhere – like this exclusive industry party hosted annually by FXR .
▲ For vendors , having some sort of eye candy is key at such a busy event . These folks went with a , “ How did they get that truck up there ?” appeal .
