Canceled TIll Next Year 2026 Heroes of Freedom Veterans Ride Sunday February 22nd 2026

With great sadness, we have to cancel the 9th Annual Heroes Of Freedom Veterans Ride this year, due to the lack of snow. We just don’t have enough snow to clear and groom the trail system. I want to thank all our men and women who sacrifice and serve our country. I would also like to thank all our sponsors that help make this event happen

The ride will be an all day event and cover approximately 50 miles of groomed snowmobile trails. Riders will be assigned to a group with a trail leader and safety. There will be several stops for food, drink and photos during the ride. After the ride a dinner party will happen at Charlie’s Mexican Restaurant in Grand Lake which is being sponsored by TOBE Outerwear.

The 2024 Heroes of Freedom Veterans Ride had over 179 Veteran riders and we hope to have even more riders this year. Steve Swatlowski and Chad Doughty of the Mile Hi Snowmobile Club started The Heroes of Freedom Veterans Snowmobile Ride in 2018. That first year there were only 6 veterans who attended. Each year since the ride has grown and we hope it will continue growing because we want to give thanks to and share the outdoors with as many veterans as possible.
