Be sure to log the hours you spend volunteering


Volunteer hours are the backbone of the success of the Rural Cass Snowmobile Club. Last year, more than 400 hours of volunteer time went into the trail and groomer maintenance.  Snowmobile North Dakota tracks these hours to help show the depth of the organization. Knowing this information is helpful for grant writing or for helping the ND legistlature understand more about the organization.

The club uses an online system to track the volunteer hours from club members.  On this page, you can enter your name, date you volunteered and the total hours you donated to the club. Be sure to enter your volunteer hours as soon as you complete them.  And, thank you for all you do for the Rural Cass Snowmobile Club.

How do the snowmobile trails get groomed?


Curious how the local snowmobile trails get groomed? For the trail operated by the Rural Cass Snowmobile Club, two groomers are involved. Around the south loop near Mapleton, Davenport and Leonard, a state-owned Tucker groomer is used. This groomer is shared with the Red River Sno-riders.

For the north loop of Amenia, Arthur, Argusville and Mapleton, the club uses the 1989 Tucker Sno-Cat Model 2000 pictured below. If you see someone out grooming, thank them, because they are volunteering their time to do this grooming. The grooming takes about a full day per loop, providing all goes well.
