February 2013 Meeting

Hello High Country Snowmobilers,

Hope you are all having a chance to get out in some of this fresh snow we've been getting.

Here is your reminder that the club meeting is Tomorrow, Tuesday February 12th, 6pm at Q4U in Frisco.

For grooming news, we have some great news. We took delivery of our new snowcat Saturday morning. After fixing a flat tire, and plowing out the driveway and a parking spot for our fuel trailer, we were able to get out and start grooming Spring Creek. Tim was able to groom the lower road on Saturday and the upper road Sunday evening. It only took 2 years of paperwork and 8 months of waiting for our grant check, but now we are officially a grooming club!

Thanks to JP Trucking for the deal on the hauling from the Montrose area and delivery to Spring Creek. Thanks also to Tim, Ron and Bruce for coming out helping with the unloading of the cat, Pat for the fuel tank & trailer and Ben for helping with the installation of the signs along the wilderness boundary. We had a busy weekend but are now up and running with our groomer!

Our February club ride is scheduled for Sunday the 17th. Next month we have our annual overnight weekend ride in the Steamboat Lake Area. we will be staying at the Hahns Peak Roadhouse the weekend of March 15th thru the 17th.

I've got a lot of other items to cover at the meeting tomorrow night, the quarterly CSA meeting, the Pink Ribbon Ride in March and more.

Hope to see you all tomorrow night at Q4U.

Rich Holcroft
President,
High Country Snowmobile Club
