“On the Trail” Updates

We have been out and about on the trails the past couple of months – inspecting, planning, cleaning, hanging signs, building structures for the rest areas and prepping for the season. Thank you to everyone who makes this all happen from meetings to promotions to hands on activities. Without all of these pre-season steps, we can’t start grooming when the snow arrives. If you are interested in helping with wood splitting/stocking, moving buildings, trail cleaning and rest area cleaning, please contact us and we will add your name to the work bee lists.  Please don’t hesitate to chat with our Executive Team or Trail Adoptees if you can lend a hand, even for a day.

Thank you to our Trail Adoptees & your crews for your commitment to trail cleaning: Don Price, David MacLeod, Chet Brewster, Doug Hay, Darrell Grenier, Darrell Strebchuk, Dominic Minty, Derek Rooks, Dave Bradley, Greg Anderson, Jason Forseille, Aaron Munro, Leroy Roth, Trevor Kenyon, Rob Pastoor, Kyle Soderquist and Dave Bilau.  A special thank you to our Trail Bosses (Dave Bilau-South, Doug Hay-NW and David MacLeod-NE) who ensure we are ready for grooming and sledding.

Great job everyone on the award.  We received the recognition at the Alberta Snowmobile Association Excellence Awards Ceremony, held October 14th in Edmonton.  It was a big surprise, but certainly appreciated.   We are always trying to adapt to snow conditions and happenings around us; some of which are out of our control.  We look forward to having a wonderful-snow filled season.  Great work to everyone involved!!  When you purchase an ASA Membership Trail Pass, you support us as well.  Please consider purchasing your passes annually.

Jeff has been very involved for over 15 years and is an integral part of the Club. He has been a member since mid 2000’s and been on the board since 2009. He has improved the experience of snowmobiling and has provided a legacy for our community and his family. His family is active in snowmobiling and in the Club through volunteering and participating in events hosted by the Club. Jeff has provided our Club with updated rest areas and opportunities for all of our local and visiting riders. Jeff goes over and above for the Club as well as snowmobiling as a whole in our province. He is an active rider and and contributor to our community and the trail system. Jeff is a key individual in the Club who advises on forestry and other impacts to the trails. He has attended ASA meetings as well as other local meetings regarding industry and Government enquiries. His most recent projects have been constructing woodsheds, family outhouses and shelters for our lookouts and cabin areas.

Jeff’s goal as a member of the Club is leaving a legacy and a trail system that is manageable in the future for our children and their children.

Looking for Trail Adoptees in the N/E Section

Oct18
,

Every year we trail clean from fall to winter.  We have trails that folks have adopted to clean and typically only required once, with the odd tree down after.   We have found that groups go out and clean when they can as every adoptee and trail is unique.  In addition, we do hold work bees as well – since not all trails are adopted or groups are unable to get out. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact us.  We are inviting all adoptees to our General Meeting – October 19th.  Our Safety Director – Denis Blain is hosting a safety presentation and will provide trail cleaning information.  Please plan to attend, if you are interested in finding out more.

TIME:    7:30pm – 8:30pm
