Good snow conditions have facilitated grooming making most trails in good condition.   Night grooming has been followed when possible to get good setup of trails.

  All Trails are now open.  Although trails are open CAUTION is always advised.

 

January 15 2011

Eastman SnoPALS thanks the Lee River SnowRiders for the assistance given to assist our club on January 28th in an attempt to open the Riverland Road Trail.  Our groomer was mired in snow the week previously. 

Unfortunately, their unit was unable to succeed on this trail either because of the deep snow, the narrow trail nature and the danger from the hydro poles. 

 

IMPROVEMENTS 2009 - 2010

Eastman SnoPALS members are in the process of making much needed trail improvements in several sections of our system.  These improvements consist mostly of mechanical brushing to widen trails and make them safer.  The main areas of improvements have been on the trail south of Julius to the Springfield Trail, the Railbed Trail and the Centerline Trail in the Agassiz Forest.

During January and February brushing improvements were made to the trails going north and south from Whitemouth.  There is now sufficient space for two snowmobiles meet and pass safely by each other on these trails.

All of the work of hand brushing, signing and grooming is performed by our volunteers. Many of our members are retired individuals that do this work so that you can enjoy our winter wonderland. They have been doing this work for many years and they can not go on forever. Age is taking its toll on our older members as well. We need more help to help make a good trail system.

In the attached link is a short video (3MEGS) of some of our volunteers getting the new groomer ready for the coming season.

Please consider coming forward to join our club and / or volunteer your time, it will be appreciated.  Go to our membership page for more details.
