The Roughrider Snowmobile Club has been keeping busy with making sure all trails are groomed and signed for the many avid snowmobilers who share the same pas- sion for the outdoors.

“We are happy to announce all our trails are signed and groomed,” stated Sandra Johnson, club representative.

“A new trail that runs from Endeavour to Valley Inn Shelter (North of Norquay) is opened, it’s a great addition to our trail system. The new trail runs along an Elk farm and we are reminding snowmobilers to pay attention to the signs and to follow them, they are there for a reason. Limit speed, and reduce noise signs are posted, as it’s spooking the Elk and causing them to be injured. If this continues to be an issue we will be forced to close or reroute the trail.”

“Weather has been great this season. All our shelters have been fully stocked with wood and supplies. A huge thank you to our club members and volunteers. There is always work to be done on the trails and shelters, as well as behind the scenes. That includes running the groomer, maintaining the groomer, trails, and shelters,” added Johnson.

The club also hosted a pub night fundraiser at the Golden West Hotel in Preeceville on Jan. 21 and deemed it a huge success.

“We want to thank our major sponsor Jim and Cindy

Holowachuk of Cinco Developments. And all businesses, groups, people that donated towards the evening. And a huge thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the evening of auction and entertainment,” concluded Johnson.
