Jano and Sonia Koziboykian live in Revelstoke, B.C., and own Noah’s Ark Resort. The resort has RV setups and cabin rentals, and most notably, amphibious Argo rides. In the winter months, the Koziboykians take off and head for warmer weather in the United States and Mexico. While they are down south, they spend many days ATVing and riding their Argos with their family.

What a life

Jano said that he and Sonia have been snowbirding during the Canadian winter months for 13 years. Currently, they are in Dallas, Texas, visiting with their family. Their plans after that include going to Houston, New Orleans and California to soak up the sun and ride up and down Competition Hill, a section of the Glamis Sand Dunes in Imperial County, California.

Making tracks in the sand

The Glamis Sand Dunes are among the most popular off-roading destinations in southern California. Koziboykian said that he enjoys the time he spends ATVing and riding his Argo around California and Mexico. “My favourite part is the freedom,” said Koziboykian. “(Glamis Sand Dunes) has a 30-degree mountain of sand and it is about 300 feet high.”
