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.

Get trail updates as text messages


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

“We are always looking for ways to communicate with snowmobilers, and text messaging is an easy way to get the word out,” says Troy Klevgard, 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 2010 and the Snowmobile North Dakota State Ride 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.
