About 60 riders took part in the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club's Vintage Ride on Saturday.

The ride featured snowmobiles from almost 50 years ago — Ed Lawrence with his 1968 Skidoo Olympique won the award for oldest snowmobile.

It started in the Boulder Mountain parking lot, where riders unloaded their sleds and donned their vintage garb.

Later, they met at the Big Eddy Pub for the award ceremony. Winners were as follows:
