About

Snowmobilers will hit the trails Friday & Saturday, February 7 & 8, 2025, for the annual Grand Portage Lodge and Casino Snowarama for Easter Seals Kids.

Once again, the Thunder Bay Snowarama for Easter Seals Kids will head south of the border to Grand Portage, only 45 minutes from Thunder Bay, attracting snowmobilers from across northwestern Ontario and Minnesota to enjoy some of the finest groomed trails in northern Minnesota. “For over four decades, Easter Seals has proudly worked with local partners to continue this time-honoured community event started by famous wrestler and dedicated Easter Seals champion, Whipper Billy Watson,” says Kevin Collins, President & CEO, Easter Seals Ontario. “We are grateful for the continued dedication and participation of the Thunder Bay community and surrounding areas. Through your generosity, we are able to grow this legacy together and continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of Easter Seals children and families.”

Grand Portage Lodge has reserved rooms for the weekend for Snowarama participants only. Please call Grand Portage Lodge and Casino at 218-475-2401 to book a room reserved for Snowarama participants.

Snowarama has two routes to choose from Grand Portage Lodge and Casino: A long ride that is approximately 120 miles and a short ‘local ride’ on the reservation that is approximately 35 miles.

All Snowarama participants will enjoy a complimentary dinner and live Saturday night entertainment, featuring live entertainment. Snowarama is truly a family event: participants can enjoy the trails, a bonfire, and prizes throughout the weekend. The event is generously sponsored by Grand Portage Lodge and Casino, the Grand Portage Trail Riders, and the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. To celebrate the 19th year at Grand Portage Lodge and Casino, with every $100 participants raise, they will receive a ballot to win Snowarama prize packages.

Over the past 19 years, the Grand Portage Lodge and Casino Snowarama has raised over $575,000 for children and youth with physical disabilities. Snowarama for Easter Seals Kids would not be a success without the support of the local snowmobiling community. Together we are helping kids BE KIDS.
