Trail Report
Thanks to everyone who helped make this grooming season a success! Especially like to thank TJ Miller for grooming weekends, most of them down to Grand Lake, allowing the other cat to get out to wind drifts and keep more miles groomed for the weekends. TJ also does our oil changes, services and welding, very responsively, to keep cats and me grooming; it’s greatly appreciated! Thank you to all the board members who volunteer their time in so many ways: meetings, administration/ paperwork, signage, building and cat maintenance, public relations, events, trail hosts and a myriad of other areas. While all board members are valuable, I distinctly want to thank Craig Wilkerson, a board member so consistently and actively involved in many areas of our success. As treasurer he keeps up on paying our bills, as well as volunteering or donating tools, time, knowledge, his own money, snowmobiles, trailers, assistance with trail maintenance, and so much more that nearly any list would be incomplete.
Thank you to the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Park Service for a successful decades long partnership providing terrain to ride and access to it. Very grateful for the support of the local community and businesses as well. Funding from our grant contributors is crucial for Grand Lake Trail Grooming to continue providing a quality winter experience in Grand Lake. Thank you to all our following grantors: Ski-Doo #skidoosnowpass Polaris Snowmobiles Grand Lake, Colorado Colorado Parks and Wildlife Grand County Open Lands, Rivers, and Trails Grand County Colorado - Official Tourism Information Grand County Government Colorado Snowmobile Association
We also greatly appreciate all donations and support from individual riders, organizations, businesses, club members and anyone not listed above. Even the smallest donations are valued, as collectively they come together to make a difference.
It was great to see out of state riders discovering Grand Lake for the first time this season, we hope to see you back in the future!
Thank to everyone for commendations in Ted’s previous post. Already looking forward to grooming out storms next season, bring us to the time lapse below from mid January!
