We have a couple of projects going on Saturday morning at 8am at the groomer barn. We will be replacing the belt tensioner and pulley on the Tucker. The main thing that will happen is that we need to replace/repair one of the tracks on this machine and it is not a 2 person job. Please indicate if you can come in the comments. We really need your help. Let's get this equipment ready to roll for this winter.
We are in need of culvert pipes for several areas of our trail system. If anyone has some they are willing to donate, please let us know. Anything 12" to 24" in diameter and probably at least 10' wide would be helpful. Thanks! HSF
Don’t forget! We have a work detail at the groomer barn tomorrow night, August 9th. All hands are appreciated. It doesn’t matter what you’re good at. We have a project for you. YOU ALL help this club succeed. ![]()

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

We want to thank Dan Gurbacki and Dave Woodward for faithfully performing the repairs and maintenance on our machines last night on our Tuesday night work detail. We would also like to thank Dan and Lisa Mezzoprete, new to the sport for stepping up, showing up and helping out with some lighter tasks. As we said before, many hands make lighter work. You don't have to be a mechanic to help. Advertising, computer, accounting, printing, building etc. We can use a hand. We have work details at the groomer barn every Tuesday night at 5:30.![]()

For now, Tuesday nights at the groomer barn at 5:30 will help lighten the load on the handful of people doing all of the work to get ready for next season. We have big plans for this year and want as many people to enjoy it with us. You don’t have to be able to work on groomers to show up. We have many little projects that need to be done so all are welcome. Message us if you’re coming or just show up Tuesday, July 5th at the Groomer barn at 5:30.![]()
