Executive Director Todd Thronson Hello everyone! Here we are in the middle of February waiting for more snow. It has been a season with ups and downs as usual. We’ve had as many as five groomers running at one time with several systems able to open, only to close after a warm-up, then reopen after a snow event. We have so many areas that would be able to go if we just had a 6 inch batch of snow to add on to the base they have. Seems we are again right on the edge of the storm systems. Not giving up yet-- Snow dance will continue.

This past weekend (February 10th), the State Ride was held in Edinburg hosted by the Tri-County Trailriders. They had a very good turnout with over 220 tickets sold which is

March 2018– Vol 43 No. 6

pretty good considering how the snow conditions were.

There was a good turnout for the Board of Directors meeting the evening before as well. There were many cash prizes as well as raffle items to be won. It was a good time visiting with everyone, something that we don’t always get a chance to do much of if we are out riding.

I guess there is ONE good thing that comes with low snow conditions. Always fun to visit with our membership and fellow riders. Lots of great people involved with the local clubs and SND.

Just a quick reminder of out groomer tracking and mapping system. You can see where the groomers are running across the state: http://sndatp.com/wms/ gpstracker.php?six_hour=1 We will be able to do more and more with this program in the future. Have a great day everyone!

Laura Forbes Vice President Hi everyone, FYI, awards are due by April 1st 2018.

Hall of Fame Young Snowmobiler of the Year Snowmobiler of the Year Family of the Year Associate Member of the year Dealer of the year Groomer of the year Scholarship I know there is someone in your club that works hard in preparing the trails, getting memberships and donations or a dealer or associate member that takes the extra mile for the snowmobiling committee.

Nominate them. All of the award applications can be found on SND’s website. www. snowmobilend.org What is ‘Social Conflict’?

A Marxist-based social theory which argues that individuals and groups (social classes) within society interact on the basis of conflict rather than consensus. Through various forms of conflict, groups will tend to attain differing amounts of material and non-material resources (e.g. the wealthy vs. the poor). More powerful groups 4

will tend to use their power in order to retain power and exploit groups with less power.

As I was researching social conflict the one thing I found interesting is it is everywhere (around the world). As I was researching social conflict between snowmobiles and skiers, I also read articles on social conflict between fisherman & speed boats, canoes and motorized boats, hikers and mountain bikers, water skiers and fisherman, and the list goes on and on.

So social conflict is not only motorized vs non-motorized.

I read articles where the researcher(s) portrayed that everyone in that group agrees with the issue at hand. (An example all skiers dislike snowmobilers because they pollute the air, track up all the snow, noisy, etc. and snowmobilers go with the flow.) I disagree with the assessment as not all skiers dislike snowmobilers and not all snowmobilers go with the flow.

Not everyone thinks alike.

I believe people need to listen to the facts the other group presents about the issue at hand. NOT MYTHS OR WHAT JOE SMITH SAID, BUT FACTS AND DON’T LUMP EVERYONE TOGETHER. Then formulate a plan that would work for both groups. Yes, I understand there will still will be people that won’t agree with what you are doing, because they don’t want to listen to the facts.

There will always be social conflict where ever you go. I believe one social group can’t function without the other. An

example: There is an avalanche that is caused by snowmobilers, skiers or snowboarders and they need rescue. In order for rescue to help in a timely fashion they will need vehicles, snowmobiles, skis and possibly helicopter to get to the area where the people are in need.

We need to work as a team!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT There is conflict amongst the snowmobile committee in regards to letting Class 1, 2 and 3 vehicles on the snowmobile trails with tracks. One of the concerns is are they going to damage the trails or have no respect for the landowner’s land and damage the crops or other snowmobilers. As we educate and get the facts on the impact on land that Class 1, 2, and 3 vehicles have we will have to keep an opened mind. Also remember that not every trail is suitable for every use.

I will leave you with a question.

Back in 1960’s and 1970’s, when SND started to form the trail system in ND and they were asking the landowners for permission to cross their land with snowmobiles. What do you think the landowners were thinking?

Although being able to open a snowmobile trail system is very dependent on the snow, the effort by the clubs, its volunteers and Snowmobile North Dakota does not go unnoticed. It takes time and resources to organize the group and put up signs on the thousands of miles of trail in the state. Then to return to remove them, ensure the equipment is ready to go, and in some cases go pack the trail to create a base with the hopes of being able to open later, if only there was a little more snow. All this is done regardless if mother nature cooperates or not. On a positive note, some systems were able to open for short periods throughout the season.

Matt Gardner

testing planned in early March to collect field data that was derived from potential concerns we heard during these discussions. Discussions will continue throughout the year with no plans at this point to allow this use. If you would like follow-up information about our testing, feel free to reach out to me at msgardner@nd.gov.

Thanks again to all the volunteers that make the North Dakota snowmobile trail system possible for residents and visitors.

A minor addition this season was adding the tracked dirt bike permit. This would allow dirt bikes with track conversion kits to ride the snowmobile trails with the permit. Unfortunately, with the limited season, we did not get a good feel for their popularity, hopefully we will next season. There was also a lot of good discussion about allowing other off-highway vehicles with track kits on the snowmobile trails. We have a

Rough Riders Snowmoblie Club

Hi from Bismarck. We were hoping for some snow from this last blast but we got very little. 75% of our trail has a lot of snow and then we have the bare spots. Had a club ride to Black Hills which was very good. Snow was good and has improved since our trip there. Looking forward to our club ride to Yellowstone next week should be fun. We have a big project in the works of moving a building to our lot which was donated to us by one of our club members. Having a warming house/clubhouse along our trail east of Bismarck should be nice. Also we are going to have CERT training for any club members who aren’t certified and want to be. Let’s hope for some snow groomer is ready.

Don Schmidt Trail Coordinator

Dakota Trailblazers The Dakota Trailblazers Snowmobile Club of Minot has had limited activities thus far this winter. There has been very little snow in the area. There has been some grooming done, but warm temperatures has melted some of the snow.

The Dakota Trailblazers had a club weekend at Lake Metigoshe on February 2nd - 4th. We did some riding all three days and the snow conditions were okay. The club got together at the Slemman Lodge in the Lake Metigoshe State Park for the weekend.

We had a monthly meeting for February at the Slemman Lodge in the Park. It was followed by a very good pot luck supper and other activities throughout the evening. Most club members were there for the weekend activities.

Bye for now and still hoping for a snowy winter season!

Dale Deibert

Magic City Driftbusters So how is everyone’s winter going? I know little snow and very cold. One of these years mother nature has to work with us. Trying to keep people enthused and joining the clubs is very difficult. I have been on a few fun runs and the attendance is very low, which hurts the clubs financially. Keep doing the snow dance there is still a chance to get measureable amount of snow.

We are excited to announce that we are hosting the 2018 40th Annual SND Snowmobile Convention in Minot, on November 30 – December 1, 2018. This year is also Magic City Drift Busters 50th Anniversary.

At the convention, we are also having a 2 day Vendor Show, which is free to the public. There will be a variety of vendors. So come and shop for snowmobiles, OHV’s, clothing, crafts and food! Magic City Drift Busters has created an event in Facebook called SND Snowmobile Convention & Vendor Show. I will be keeping you updated with the vendors and registration.

We are giving away a $500 Visa Gift Card to one lucky person as long as you register by November 1st 2018.
