The 10th Annual Heroes of Freedom Veterans Snowmobile Ride is scheduled to return to Grand Lake, Colorado, on January 23–24, 2027. Organized by the Mile Hi Snowmobile Club, this event brings veterans together for snowmobiling, camaraderie, and appreciation for their service to our country.
The 2027 event will feature two separate rides, one on Saturday, January 23, and another on Sunday, January 24. Each participant can register for one ride. The rides are expected to cover approximately 50 miles of groomed snowmobile trails. Veterans will ride in groups with trail leaders and safety volunteers, making stops along the way for food, drinks, and photos. A dinner gathering is also planned after the ride.
This event holds special meaning for the ESI team. During the 8th Annual Heroes of Freedom Veterans Snowmobile Ride in 2025, at least 18 ESI employees and friends volunteered to lead two groups of veterans through the mountains around Grand Lake. With 171 riders participating that year, it was an incredible opportunity to spend time outdoors with those who have served our country.
We are grateful to the Mile Hi Snowmobile Club, the sponsors, and the many volunteers who continue to make this event possible. Their efforts help bring veterans together to enjoy Colorado’s beautiful winter scenery. We look forward to seeing this tradition continue and honoring the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.
Veterans and volunteers interested in participating can visit the official Mile Hi Snowmobile Club website for registration information and event updates.
