Some of the greatest memories and sto ries of Raptor adventures have been created during the past SnoBall’s.  At the Snoball 10 you and your Raptor will encounter everything that Moth er Nature and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan can throw at it. There will be areas of two track roads\, logging trails\, forest service roads and co untry roads. These roads will have varying degrees of snowfall on them\, f rom significant snow fall to minimal/scraped country roads. From the momen t you put the SnoBall official placard on your truck you are in for one of the most unique and exciting weekends ever. This is not a race we will st ay together as a pack and work as a team to insure everyone makes it to ea ch destination.\n\nWe have made some significant changes to the format and route this year. There are 3 specific routes\, allowing only 2 groups on each trail at a time.  This will minimize waiting and backups due to deep snow\, stuck or broken down vehicles.  As always\, Dishno and other road s north of Champion are part of the planed route.\n\nGreat Lakes Raptor Ex cursions has chosen some of the most capable and experienced drivers as yo ur group lead and chase trucks. You and your Ford Raptor will explore over 700 miles of the picturesque Upper Peninsula of Michigan within your grou p of 15 other Raptors. Lead and Chase trucks are outfitted with first aid kits\, extraction equipment\, VHF radio communications\, GPS navigation an d trail knowledge to get everyone to the final destination safely.\n\nBut the driving isn’t the only appeal to this run. We will also be staying a t a few of the nicest locations in the UP.  The newly renovated Holiday I nn Marquette and The Island Resort and Casino. *****Please no Air Horns in the Casino.\n\nPlease visit us on The SnoBall  page.\nSCHEDULE\nFriday Night (1/14/2022)\n\n\nThere will be a mandatory SnoBall kick off and regi stration from 8:00pm to 10:00pm in a dedicated room at Holiday Inn Marquet te during which time there will be vendors showing off product and talking about future plans.\n\nSchedule:\n\n 2000-2200 EST: SnoBall kick off mee ting and registration at Holiday Inn\, Marquette\n\nAll event times are in Eastern Time (Harris\, MI is in the Central Time Zone)\nDay 1: Saturday ( 1/15/2022)\n\n\n\n\nThis is the day everyone has been waiting for!!!!

There will be times where the group is moving along great and other times where someone is stuck. The person stuck could be you one of the times so get out and help your fellow group members\, its part of the appeal. Being as it is winter there maybe changes along the way depending on snow level for better and worse.
