Happy Holidays from the Rural Cass Snowmobile Club
Grooming begins this week!
Grooming on the Rural Cass snowmobile trail began today (Dec 22) when Keith Blixt of Gardner headed out in the groomer this morning to start on the northern loop of the trail. Since it takes quite a bit longer the firt time out, he expects to only groom half of the north loop today. Here’s a picture of him in action this morning:
The remainder of the north loop should be groomed Thursday, if all goes as planned. And the south loop will be groomed either Thursday evening or Friday morning, depending upon groomer operator availability. If you are out riding today or tomorrow on the south loop, there are still some deeper ditches that could be packed more with snowmobiles to help the groomer avoid getting stuck.
More than 375 volunteer hours already logged this winter
You probably realize the Rural Cass Snowmobile Club depends on volunteer hours, but do you know how many hours it really takes? Since August 2010, club members have logged more than 375 volunteer hours already.
The majority of the volunteer hours so far have been attributed to the process of signing the more than 100 miles of snowmobile trails managed by the club. A total of 187 hours went into pounding those trail signs in the ground.
Other volunteer activities this year have been included marketing and event planning, including all the hours attributed with putting on a successful SnowJam event and the time it takes to manage the club website, membership drive and member emails. Groomer maintenance, managed by a small group of volunteers, is also a big component of volunteer time during the fall.
A huge thank you goes out to all the club members who do their part to contribute to the club’s success.
