Snowmobilers will be hitting the hills and raising funds this weekend.

The inaugural Sled for Eternity BC takes place at the Soveriegn Lake snowmobile area Saturday.

Money raised from the event will go to the Adult and Teen Challenge Society of B.C. for its Winfield operations, said organizer Lance Marais.

Registration for the event takes place at the Village Green Hotel from 8-10 a.m. Participants will then head to the snowmobile area where members of the Vernon Snowmobile Association will lead tours of the area.

Registration is $50 which includes prizes, lunch and a buffet dinner in the evening.

Participants are also encouraged to raise money for the society with the most raised winning a 2016 snowmobile and enclosed trailer.

“Everyone who participates will get some sort of prize,” said Marais, adding the money raised from the event stays in the Okanagan.
