Jeff McGirr is hoping his enthusiasm for snowmobiling and his commitment to the sport will help him become North America’s Top Snowmobiler.
McGirr, who serves as Mattawa-Bonfield’s Economic Development Director, decided to take a chance on the unique competition put on by SnowTrax TV.
He says the ad on the SnowTrax Facebook page piqued his interest.
“They were looking for the most interesting, passionate and talented snowmobile riders in north America,” said McGirr.
“I’ve been involved as a volunteer for over a decade now, have produced well over 400 snowmobile related Youtube videos and dozens of online/print articles. I thought to myself that I should enter this contest, that it would be a great opportunity to promote the sport and show how I’m involved in the industry. It also presented a great opportunity to promote snowmobiling in the region and put our area on the map as a top destination.”
So far so good, the local snowmobile enthusiast has made it to the semi-finals in group B of the international competition.
McGirr is humbled by the support he has received but he insists the competition isn’t just about him being the best snowmobiler.
“I believe that all of the volunteers and passionate snowmobilers are North America’s Top Snowmobilers,” McGirr admitted.
“It is hard to imagine just one person earning this title, in my view it isn’t just one person, it takes a team of dedicated and passionate people to have the trails in our community, it takes partnerships and support from the community and its businesses.”
