Snowmobilers in the Fargo and rural Cass areas will have the opportunity to get trail and grooming updates on their mobile phones this season, using the latest text messaging technologies.

“Nowadays, we’re using texts everyday for other communication, so it only makes sense that we’d text you with snowmobile trail updates,” says Jason McSparron, president of the Rural Cass Snowmobile Club. “We will use text messages to let you know trail opening and closing information, as well as announce when we’ve finished grooming that week.”

If you are interested in the Rural Cass Snowmobile Club trail updates (Casselton, Leonard, Arthur, Harwood, Mapleton), send keyword “ruralcass” to 46986.

You can also get updates on SnowJam 2012 by texting “snowjam” to 46986. SnowJam is the area’s premier snowmobiling event, featuring a trail ride, vintage snowmobile display, tons of prizes and a fun evening event. Learn more about SnowJam at www.snowjam.org.
