This week’s weather was not trail friendly!  With the strong March sun and the late week above average temps our system took a major hit.  We were forced to close some trails, however, many still remain open.  Our plan, if temps allow, is to get out tonight and hit them one more time to fill in some spots and cover others.  Surprisingly, trails to the clubhouse are not too bad.  Trout pond loop and airstrip area are good and trails out of Danforth Bay Camping area remain good.  Mary’s Mt bypass is closed however.  Unless we get a significant amount of snow and cold weather, my believe is, this will be the last chance to get out there and ride in our area.  Conditions could change quickly, so keep an eye on Facebook for last minute updates.

Jodi is expecting to have the clubhouse open this Saturday with a limited capacity. Covid restrictions are tight and we will continue to do our best to accommodate. The clubhouse bathroom will be closed to all but the workers. We will have a porta potti on site. Please be patient with the volunteers they are doing their best. Please make sure to bring masks, you will not be allowed in the building without them. Time inside will be limited to ordering, serving food and merchandise only.  The kitchen window from the main entrance area has been set up as a service window.

Thank you all for your support.

Ok all, pending storm coming up and we may actually get some good snow. As stated previously we need to get a decent amount and sustainable snow meaning heavier not just fluff. Currently the trails & gates will remain closed. The groomer operators will need to get out there to work their magic. We know everyone is itching bad but please give the guys some time to get the trails packed and groomed. Providing the snow amount and condition there is a good chance we will open for the weekend. We will be seeing early riding conditions so watch for open area’s and water bars. We will do our best to fill them in. Also we have been advised Silver Lake has large open water and many unsafe ice conditions. Please stay off. Thank you all for your support and let’s hope this one brings us the white stuff!

Dear Members,

Due to concerns with COVID-19, we will be limiting our January meeting (1/16/21) to board members only. If you have any questions or concerns please contact a board member and they will bring it up at the meeting and get back to you. See BOD contact info under the Officers Tab.

Stay safe & start your snow dances!

Ok all, as many of you know due to COVID 19 the Ride-In has gone virtual this year. It will be very challenging but as snowmobilers NHSA is going to try to move forward to continue the tradition and our 49^th year of the ride-in.  

So we are still doing the auctions which includes our Carrol County basket. This year’s basket is “Entertainment”. Agreed this one is more challenging than in other years but we can do it for sure. 

Some ideas are movie or show tickets, theme parks, even game tickets to our NE teams or even local ones. We can even go back old school with board games or up a few years video games or consoles! Start working your brains to come up with other ideas and more importantly go out and get those donations.  

We have done the Ride-In with no snow and still bested our donations to Camp Sno-Mo so let’s not let those kids down. With any luck they will be back and Camp this year and we need to help make sure they can afford to go. 

Sean Pinard @ Scrub Oaks will be heading up the basket for Carrol County so bring any donations to the SOS Clubhouse. If you have something you need picked up let us know maybe we can help. Virtual Ride-In is scheduled for the week of Feb 8^th so we need the basket items by Jan 27^th so we can bring them to NHSA.
