During this run you and your Raptor will encounter everything that Mother 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 count ry roads. These roads will have varying degrees of snowfall on them\, from significant snow fall to minimal/scraped country roads. From the moment y ou put the SnoBall 500 official window decal on your truck you are in for one of the most unique and exciting weekends ever. This is not a race we w ill stay together as a pack and work as a team to insure everyone makes it to each destination.\n\nBut the driving isn’t the only appeal to this r un. We will also be staying in a few of the nicest Hotel/Casinos in the Up per Peninsula. There will be plenty of time to unwind in whatever fashion you desire\, whether it is hanging out at the sports bar\, gambling or get ting a massage.\n\nPlease visit the SnoBall 500 Facebook page: www.faceboo k.com/SnoBall500\n\nRUN DETAILS\n\nFriday Night (1/19/2013)\nThe Run doesn ’t officially begin until Saturday morning at 0830\, but for anyone inte rested in crossing the Mackinaw Bridge as a group we will be meeting at 16 30est.

On the way will encounter snow co vered roads and significant snow drifts. The Norway truck trail is an off roaders dream\, the trail includes everything for open sections to granite rocks.\n\nAfter the truck trail we will make our way up County roads and two track roads with the group stopping for lunch at the Up North Lodge as well as a possible stop at Da Yoopers Tourist Trap. After some more back country roads we end up on 41 ending up at the Travelodge in Houghton\, MI . The Travelodge is located near quite a few bars and restaurants includin g the Keweenaw Brewing Co.\n\nSunday (1/21/2013)\nSunday is a long day we will have a drivers meeting 0830 just to go over the differences between S unday and Saturdays terrain. The group will leave from the Travelodge at 0 900 and head up one of the most scenic routes in Michigan all the way to C opper Harbor\, MI. We will hang out for a bit to take pictures then the gr oup heads back down to Houghton where we will get lunch. From here we head out towards Ontonagon following forest service roads and country roads. W hen we arrive as a pack of Raptors in the small town of Ontonagon we will take some pictures and rest our legs for a short break.\n\nAs we leave Ont onagon the sun will be setting as we travel along the coast of Lake Superi or across forest service roads\, county roads and ORV routes. Our final de stination is the Lac Vieux Desert Casino in Watersmeet\, MI. But our day d oes not end when we arrive at the Casino. Those that are interested after checking in will meet at 2100 for a very interesting experience\, the Paul ding light. The Paulding light is a light that appears in the sky and has also appeared in shows such as paranormal activity\, Ripley’s Believe it or not\, and Unsolved Mysteries.\n\nMonday (1/22/2013)\nOn Monday morning we find us nearing the completion of this run\, we have reserved a banque t room for a late breakfast and run closing event.

We ha ve rented more than 1500 acres of the park which will be exclusive to the participants of this event. Participants will receive event t-shirts\, swa g packs (including sponsor items\, stickers and/or brochures) and door pla cards. This event will not only be an opportunity to drive off-road but wi ll also be one of the few events in the United States that will offer the participants to receive off-road driving instruction by professional racin g drivers and the Rausch Creek ORP staff.

Some of the greatest memories and stories of Raptor adve ntures have been created during the past SnoBall’s. At the 2016 Snoball you and your Raptor will encounter everything that Mother Nature and the U pper Peninsula of Michigan can throw at it. There will be areas of two tra ck roads\, logging trails\, forest service roads and country roads. These roads will have varying degrees of snowfall on them\, from significant sno w fall to minimal/scraped country roads. From the moment you put the SnoBa ll official placard on your truck you are in for one of the most unique an d exciting weekends ever. This is not a race we will stay together as a pa ck and work as a team to insure everyone makes it to each destination.\n\n We have made some significant changes to the format and route this year.  There are 3 specific routes that you as a participant will be taking.  E ach day your group and 1 other group will be embarking on 1 of 3 predeterm ined trails.\n\nAlso new this year is an awards presentation for participa nts.  We are going to be doing numerous awards including but not limited to\, Best Truck of the SnoBall\, Organizers Choice\, Most Helpful Particip ant\, etc.  These awards will be nominated by your lead and chase drivers and presented at the banquet.\n\nGreat Lakes Raptor Excursions has chosen some of the most capable and experienced drivers as your group lead and c hase trucks. You and your Ford Raptor will explore over 600 miles of the p icturesque Upper Peninsula of Michigan within your group of 15 other Rapto rs. Lead and Chase trucks are outfitted with first aid kits\, extraction e quipment\, VHF radio communications\, GPS navigation and trail knowledge t o get everyone to the final destination safely.\n\nBut the driving isn’t the only appeal to this run. We will also be staying at the nicest Hotel/ Casino in the Upper Peninsula\, The Island Resort and Casino.  There we w ill hopefully have plenty of time to unwind in whatever fashion you desire \, whether it is hanging out at the sports bar\, gambling or getting a mas sage.\n\nPlease visit the The SnoBall Facebook page: \n\n \;\n\nVideo Gallery\n\nDon’t need to read the details?

For 2017 we are currently limited to 55 trucks and 5 gro ups and we are looking to use as much of the original SnoBall500 route tha t the DNR will allow us to use. The SnoBall is the only event in the world that combines High speed off-roading\, deep snow\, and skilled extraction s with a Group/Team aspect. We also have a surprise are working on that is something new to make the 5th SnoBall an event to remember!\n\n5 Groups will be led by:\n\n Alpha - Jason Kanakry (FRF: Kanakry)\n Bravo - Keith  Mandoske (FRF: Kmandoske)\n Delta - Jeff Slater (FRF: Big Red)\n Spart an - Todd Dessain (FRF: ShooterAMG)\n Yeti - Mark Rowe (FRF: WorldTour)\ n\nRegistration includes:\n\n 3 Days of offroading in the snow covered UP of Michigan lead by highly skilled and qualified GLRE Offroad support dri vers\n 2017 SnoBall Sweatshirts for each particepent\n 2017 SnoBall Plac ards\n Entry to registration with Cash Bar and Vendors\n Entry to the 20 17 SnoBall Banquet and Raffle\n\nREGISTATION- Currently Sold Out\n\nThe 20 17 SnoBall is the 5th Annual premier winter Raptor Run/driving experience. Some of the greatest memories and stories of Raptor adventures have been created during the past SnoBall’s. As in the 2016 SnoBall we will be sta ying at a centralized hotel in the UP\, the Island Resort and Casino. At t he 2017 Snoball you and your Raptor will encounter everything that Mother 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 count ry roads. These roads will have varying degrees of snowfall on them\, from significant snow fall to minimal/scraped country roads. From the moment y ou put the SnoBall official placard on your truck you are in for one of th e most unique and exciting weekends ever. This is not a race we will stay together as a pack and work as a team to insure everyone makes it to each destination.\n\nWe have made some significant changes to the format and ro ute this year. There are 3 specific routes\, including 1 brand new route t hat all the groups will be on at the same time similar to the 1st SnoBall 500. This trail will head to a area of the UP that has not been used previ ously during The SnoBall and will stop at a couple of photosites including the Pine Mountain Ski Jump.\n\nContinuing from last year we will hold an awards presentation for participants during the banquet. We are going to b e doing numerous awards including but not limited to\, Best Truck of the S noBall\, Organizers Choice\, Most Helpful Participant\, Hard Luck award an d Craziest outfit at Registration. These awards will be nominated by your lead and chase drivers and voted on during the event.\n\nGreat Lakes Rapto r Excursions has chosen some of the most capable and experienced drivers a s your group lead and chase trucks. You and your Ford Raptor will explore over 600 miles of the picturesque Upper Peninsula of Michigan within your group of 15 other Raptors. Lead and Chase trucks are outfitted with first aid kits\, extraction equipment\, VHF radio communications\, GPS navigatio n and trail knowledge to get everyone to the final destination safely.\n\n But the driving isn’t the only appeal to this run. We will also be stayi ng at the nicest Hotel/Casino in the Upper Peninsula\, The Island Resort a nd Casino. There we will hopefully have plenty of time to unwind in whatev er fashion you desire\, whether it is hanging out at the sports bar\, gamb ling or getting a massage.\n\nPlease visit the The SnoBall  page:\n\nSCHE DULE\n\nFriday Night (1/13/2017)\n\nThere will be a mandatory SnoBall kick off and registration from 8:00pm to 10:00pm in the Eagles at the Island R esort and Casino during which time there will be vendors showing off produ ct and talking about future plans There will also be an Cash Bar.\nSchedul e:\n\n 2000-2200 EST: SnoBall kick off meeting and registration at Island Resort and Casino in Eagles Room\n\nAll event times are in Eastern Time ( Harris\, MI is in the Central Time Zone)\nDay 1: Saturday (1/14/2017)\n\nT his is the day everyone has been waiting for!!!!

You will still be in your team but every group will be on the same trail at th e same time. (There is a 15min or longer separation between groups at the beginning of the day). We will also be stopping at the Pine Mountain ski j ump which at one point was the Largest man made ski jump in the world.

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 o ut and help your fellow group members\, its part of the appeal. Being as i t is winter there maybe changes along the way depending on snow level for better and worse.
