ICE OVAL SNOWMOBILE RACING
BOONVILLE SNOW FESTIVAL II
Feb 4 - Feb. 6, 2022 (Canceled)
The Boonville Snow Festival II board held their regular weekly meeting on Jan 4th. to review the ever-mounting challenges facing the 2022 Boonville Snow Festival. Many factors play into the boards decisions and normal circumstance aside. We are faced with many challenges beyond our control. This year with the current surge of COVID having a devastating effects around the world, countries such as Canada have shut down almost all mass gatherings and have place restriction on normal daily activities. The BSF II relies on spectators and competitors from our northern neighbors to put on a magnificent event. The board has spoken with many of the Canadian spectators and race teams, and we were told that they would not be able to attend. Plus, with the lack of cold weather the frost is not in the ground to begin building the track. Boonville has NOT seen any significant snow fall and the extended forecast is not showing enough snow to hold a safe event. The largest hurdle is the lack of snow currently. We require snow for the bleachers, driver protection, the snowmobile trail riders that attend. Without the tourist traffic and trail riders, the event has suffered a great lose in the past and we know the pattern well. With all factors being discussed it was another hard decision to postpone this year's race again!! The board will still be meeting regular and planning for 2023 with the date to be announced early fall of 2022.
Thank you for your patients, and we hope you all understand the circumstances we have been facing!
HOPE TO SEE YOU IN 2023
Fire in our heart and ice in our veins
Welcome to Boonville, New York.
The birthplace of Adirondack Cup Snowmobile Racing and proudly known as "The Snowmobile Capital of The East."
Located in the foothills of the Adirondacks, bordering the Tug HIll Plateau - where snow is measured in feet, not inches.
Snowmobiling has been a part of our heritage since its inception.
Snowmobile racing, however, has become our legacy.
Racing in Boonville began in the early 60s- attracting over 40,000 snowmobile enthusiasts. It wasn't long before Boonville became world famous for its racing. And even though racing ended in the late 70s, many were left frozen at the ending of an era.
Until 2007.
A small dedicated group of Boonvillian's banded together and formed the Boonville Snow Festival II.
The group hosted Adirondack Cup Racing in January 2007 - for the first time in nearly three decades!
2017 will mark our 10th Anniversary.
For years, the 1/2 mile ice oval in Boonville has called to those with fire in their hearts and ice in their veins.
It's in our blood, and in the blood of those who travel here year after year, generation after generation.
We are proud of the history we've made here, and every year we build an ice track to prove it.
