Giants Ridge hosts snowmobile enthusiasts for Levi’s Tri 5
Giants Ridge Ski Resort hosted snowmobile enthusiasts from across the country on Saturday for Levi’s Tri 5. The annual snowmobile race is hosted by Snocross champion, Red Bull Athlete and X Games medalist, Levi LaVallee.
Levi’s Tri 5 is a snowmobile 5K race that allows participants to dress up, outfit their snowmobiles and have fun while raising money for a good cause. The teams that compete are judged on their costumes, creativity and sportsmanship. The race is designed for snowmobiles built in the year 2000 or before, giving it a throwback, vintage feel.
The event aims to bring snowmobile racers together for a day of fun, racing and fundraising. Proceeds from the event go towards supporting Wings for Life USA, a non-profit spinal cord research foundation that aims to find a cure for spinal cord injury.
The race was first started in 2017 as an invite-only race but opened to the public in 2019. Since then, the event has been billed as “The most fun snowmobile race ever.”
