Trail signing continues with unique twist

All, Club news, Trails November 27, 2010 1 Comment

Trail signing continued yesterday, with a group of five club members working on the northern loop of the Rural Cass County snowmobile trail.

With the recent snow, the group used a unique approach for both “delivering the signs” to the person who would place them, as well as taking out snowmobiles to use to actually put the up sign post.

“This was a great way to use sleds to help put out the trail signs,” said Jeff Seifert of Casselton, who is wearing the red coat in this linked video. Oh, and by the way, trail signing usually isn’t this easy.

Groups are going out to work on more of the signing today (Saturday, Nov 27). If you can help, meet at 9;30 AM at Keith Blixt’s farm to help on the north route (701-238-6555) or call Greg Strommen (701) 212-7002) to help on the southern route, where they will meet in Casselton at 8 AM.

Interested in joining the 3 million people who already enjoy snowmobiling each year, but don’t know how to get started? Follow these five simple steps to get started in snowmobiling for a fun-filled winter with family and friends.

  1. Attend a snowmobiling show
    A snowmobiling show is a great place to start if you’re just discovering snowmobiling. Attending a snowmobiling show allows you to check out different models and brands of snowmobiles and talk to numerous dealers, so you can get the best deal! One local show is SleddinXpo.
  2. Visit a dealer
    There are several licensed snowmobile dealers in the area who can help you decide which snowmobile is best for you, based on your planned usage and within your price range. Snowmobile pricing starts at $2,000 for a used model and $6,000 for a new one.
  3. Licensing 
    North Dakota requires your snowmobile to be licensed or registered or to have a permit affixed to the snowmobile. Licensing information can be easily obtained at the ND Parks and Rec website.
  4. Find a location to snowmobile
    There are 225,000 miles of marked and groomed trails to explore in North America,, including 100 miles just in this area. Check out the local map posted on this website.
  5. Visit gosnowmobiling.org
    For those interested in learning more about snowmobiling, the gosnowmobiling.org Web site is an great tool for guidance. It provides information for the inexperienced snowmobiler on getting started in snowmobiling, dealers and renters in your area, destinations to snowmobile and more.
