The 2021

SPONSORED BY

By Mike Grass Jr. T he 2021 Maine Snowmo- bile Show was back after a year off due to Covid 19 and all it’s trials and tribulations. This was a huge undertaking for MSA as we had no full or part time employees to help with the logistics of this show. Executive Vice President Al Swett took it on headfirst and did a fantastic job lining up vendors, making a floor plan, communicating with the Civic Center, scheduling volun- teers to man the door, ticket

booth, scholarship booth and all the other things that made it look like normal. Unfortu- nately, Covid’s far reaching effects took a toll on dealers this year, with current model sleds very hard to source but all the manufactures did the best they could and we appreciate the extra efforts they made to make the show successful. While the big four didn’t have their usual amount of product, our local snowmobile gear dealers like Rave X, Shaker Hill, 201 Pow- ersports and Judged brought a ton of product and did well with their sales. We had some vendors who couldn’t make it this year but picked up some new ones like Bite Harder, IGrip and others. They were very happy they came and hope to be back next year. All were happy with the attendance as was MSA. Fri-

day night was an above aver- age attendance and strong Super Raffle sales. Satur- day and Sunday mornings were very strong with aver- age attendance for Saturday afternoon and evening as well as Sunday afternoon. Overall, we had very close to average attendance. Saturday mornings Trails Workshop had 80+ people in attendance with a fantas- tic list of speakers including Mark Chinnock (MSA Trails Chair), Al Swett (MSA VP and Safety Chair), Paul Tetrault (Track Inc., Tucker Dealer), Kris MacCabe (Maine War- den Service) and Joe Higgins (Maine Department of ACF, Snowmobile Division). They had great information and answered tons of questions from the audience. Hopefully participants went home with more knowledge thanks to

the workshop and they can apply it to their respective trail systems. MSA was “BACK” in Augusta and had a success- ful show thanks to a lot of great vendors, patrons and an amazing group of volun- teers. MSA has had many hurdles thrown at us since January of 2020. To put on this show for the first time without an Executive Director or a lot of behind the scenes knowledge, it looked and felt like the same show as always, which was what MSA was hoping for. We learned a ton from the experience and have a lot of ideas to make the next Snowmobile Show look and feel different without losing our current great vendor part- nerships. Everyone at MSA Thanks you all for attending our show and we can’t wait to see you in 2022.

Favorite Rides Series… Continued

I had shared with my wife we had a trip planned for Saturday where there were 6-8 of us planning to head to the Central Region Area. As we watched the weekend weather, it looked absolutely perfect for the snowmobile trail set up with not so much for human liking with highs in the single digits all weekend. But, there’s only so many week- ends so on it was. We were snow starved in our area so out with the trailer and our drop off point was Guilford. Grampy’s, (The late Mau- rice Marden) would be our starting point. His heated garage made for an incredible changing point and was very much appreciated that 5 degreemorning. Leaving a local trail we quickly headed North on Four Winns Trail System on ITS 85 which was as usual, FLAT. Nearing the end of their ITS section, we burned one of the best-kept secrets in the state (until now). The Breakneck Ridge Trail curves down around and heads almost due west with tons of mountainous views and splen- did maintained areas. Looking to the North, there are splendid views

of the Russell Mountain Range. After a pretty good jaunt through the woods, it eventually hooks up with the Big Valley Riders of Bing- ham on ITS 87. While it may be a bit different now, just 4 miles south was a connector trail that brought us into the windmills. It was obvi- ous why they placed them where they are as with the breeze we had, they were functioning extremely well. One needed to make sure you did not drop a glove. This club works extremely hard to keep trail connectivity as this area is heavily in forest management and adjusts for markets often. Kudo’s to both the club and the landowner. After photo ops, we headed back up 87 north for our lunch break at North- ern Outdoors in The Forks. If you haven’t been to this place, Bucket List it! This IS the place that hooked me as a Maine sledder as my first overnight stay as a rider was here on my then new 1990 Formula Plus. It has since been removed, but at that time, there was an outdoor heated pool that we played volley- ball on January 18. Of course the

H ello All,

I got tapped this month to throw my hat in the ring for Favorite Rides. I am sure there are plenty of people that would like to throw their efforts at this. SEND ‘EM IN! From my heated visor view, I’ll share this trip which capped a great surprise for my wife on Valentine’s weekend!

hot tub did not disappoint after run- ning up the flight of stairs barefoot with 6 inches of snow on each step with nothing more than a bathing suit. My feet are still numb. Thanks for the awesome intro to sledding! Back to the story. What I did not tell my wife was I had rented a cabin for the night and we were to enjoy the night there. I felt a bit bad as our friends had to continue riding with the surprise of losing us and as cold as it was, I think they were a bit jealous. My wife and I got back on and rode around the area and went to Berry’s Store and grabbed some popcorn, donuts, and topped the tank for the next day’s adventure. I will be hon- est, Our cabin was a bit far for us to walk on such a cold night so it truly was the first time that I rode my sled with sneakers on going two up on a one-up sled. What smiles…. We had a great cozy night and the impulse of it all for her just made it that much special. We spoke to our friends and they all checked in safe. The next morning again brought

incredible sunlight with similar temps. We headed up ITS 87 and broke East on 86 toward the 88 junc- tion. I had decided that it was up to her to see how far she wanted to go as we could have headed to Green- ville but she was all in for the trek further north. Up 88 it was. All I remember was…Wow! I don’t think I had ever been to this area before and found wide-open spaces and flat and smooth trails. We warmed up a bit at “The Store” in Rockwood and headed down toward the town dock where it crossed the lake. The signs were plentiful to cross the lake and I had been there before. Sometimes it is nice to see trails not change that much as most of this section was from memory. We picked up the “Moosehead Trail” and banked east toward Kokadjo. I was again in awe of the views of Big and Little Spencer as that again is near and dear to me. In my for- mer career, I was blessed with the chance to put the communications facility on top of Big Spencer and I have hiked that mountain 40 if not

50 times. Seeing it on a sled adds a much better flair than a backpack full of tools. A lunch snack, a warm up, and a splash of fuel was a great needed break at the Kokadjo store. Southward on 85/86 we were now encountering some trail chop from the amount of sleds but being that was the year of an all new cut through there, I remember this was still pretty impressive. We were even fortunate to witness a moose just out of the campground area. We enjoyed the great views of Mooseh- ead coming south and looking west and Big Moose in the winter never disappoints. As the day was wear- ing on, we found our way thru Greenville and eventually South on 85 again to back to our starting point. While I do not remember the actual mileage, we surely clocked in the 150 to 175 range for the week- end. It sure was a great trip and if you ever want to surprise someone, may I suggest do it on a sled trip! Ride Right, Ride Safe, and Bring on the White! John Monk.

that can only be seen on a snowmobile. Then those same people will see and understand why we all grant permission for the trail(s) and allow everyone to enjoy what we love. We are the Ambassadors for our sport and we must “sell” it so they can see and feel our passion. Hopefully, by the time you are reading this, our newwebsite will be online, with lots of cool features, stories and gadgets to help our clubs andmembers. December is a funmonthwith the drawing of Super Raffle prizes and Christmas as Santa brings us new snowmobiling stuff for the upcoming season. It also brings cold and snow as the unofficial start date for grooming is December 15 th . I can only hope that we can start close to that or at least New Year’s Day for some areas. Many folks will be coming to Maine this season, as the Canadian Border is only open conditionally. An early start also helps jumpstart those registration numbers and pump money into the grant funds. November is here so I hope all you hunters get your deer. Make sure to put plenty of gravy on the turkey and potato. It helps with traction, so they tell me, LOL! Until next month, think Snow (and Cold). Mike ZR 200 from Kramer’s, The Mission trailer from Alcom, the Hybrid from Nitro a $500.00 gift card from Kittery Trading Post and the many gift certificates from some awesome supporter’s. Thanks! The area VP’s have been busy going to meetings and getting their club’s in order. Thanks for all you do. It’s been an incredible month. I’m proud of everybody who make the MSA happen, we’re a positive group. Learning more and more every day, you make snowmobiling in Maine the best in the Northeast. Thank you! AL discussion, sleds, eager riders, technology, maps, clothing, and no drama. Al, We Love Ya! For our Mid-Fall update from the Steering Committee, we would like everyone to start watching the counter for our release of our new website. I know it may seem impossi- ble, but committee members have been trans- ferring and polishing 28 pages of info from the old site. Dat’s a buncha stuff! It’s almost ready. We also have a great new lady holding down the Augusta Fort! Come on down and meet Liz who is in the thick of it and already digging deep. Additionally the steering com- mittee continues to monitor and reach out to help clubs with their questions related to “How to Snowmobile in Maine 101”. Do not hesitate to call and ask questions. The most knowledgeable person up to the task will If your club is interested, we can put together a snowmobile safety class for children and adults. Along with our IF&W friends, we can come to your school or clubhouse or a nearby This month is the beginning of our sea- son. Well, we’re getting close! Lots of club’s are out building and repairing bridges. Many are trimming and widening of trails and what we dread, trail reroutes. Please be safe. Wear your PPE. Protect yourself, earplugs and safety glasses are a big deal. Be careful work- ing around other people. Safety Committee Chair Report H i,

Center was full of people getting their new gear, maps and gadgets with big smiles on their faces. The Vendors, Patrons and Volunteers, we were back and the excitements showed. A personal heartfelt Thank You to you all. How about the Super Raffle? Can’t verify it yet, but pretty sure we’ve printed more tickets this year than ever before and we are still getting requests for more tickets. Clubs are doing a phenomenal job of selling tickets on some great prizes. There will be some happy people come December 16th! Many clubs having landowner/trail permission issues this year as a wave of new landowners have moved to Maine. We need to welcome these people and introduce them to our lifestyle and Maine’s generosity of land use for recreation. They have come here to escape the crowds and ways of their previous home to enjoy Maine. Well, we have a lot to offer them and we need to show them how great Maine is and especially snowmobiling in Maine. Yes, they have every right to shut off a trail and we must respect that, but they also need to be taken for a ride on that beautiful evergreen lined white ribbon of trail with fantastic views and vista out. Received some compliments and advise for next year’s show. Most of the Vendor’s want to return for 2022! We have even had new folk’s sign up already for next year. The spectator’s lined up Friday afternoon and it was a steady stream of snowmobiler’s coming through the door! They seemed happy and bought lot’s of snowmobile parts, accessories, clothing, oil, chainsaw’s, and trailer’s...most of the sleds on display we’re in the process of being sold but people got to see some awesome snowmobile’s by the best dealer’s in the Northeast. Charlie’s Motor Mall in Augusta was the major sponsor displaying a few great new trucks out front. The Augusta Civic Center crew once again came through with excellent service. Thank you to everyone! Made my way to St. Albans swap meet at the clubhouse. Great time excellent food, Chris and his crew we’re great host’s. We even sold some MSA raffle tickets! The raffle tickets are selling like a Western wild fire! We just picked up another 6,500. That will put us over 100,000. My thanks to everyone. The Fryeburg SC was at the Fryeburg Fair and sold lots of tickets. SO many we had to run around the state to get them more! From Kittery to St. Francis the tickets are selling, and with prizes like we have it’s no wonder. The Polaris from Ryan (the Polaris Rep.) and Woody’s the Ski-Doo from Moosehead Motorsports The Arctic Cat employer’s struggle to get workers for booths, the questionability of even having an indoor show, and about every excuse as to why not, MSA said “why yes” and pounded out an incredible winner! Was it easy? I think we all know the answer. While you’re favorite corner booth from year to year may have been missing or possibly in a different spot, the general outcome was extremely pleasing to all that participated. Not exclusively and in gen- eral, the steering committee worked extremely hard to not miss a single vendor from previous years and if someone you loved was missed, it truly was an oversite. Each and every mem- ber personally reached out to past patrons and solicited their responses. This year we also were blessed with volunteers coming forward to us and asking, “What can I do to help?” To that, we can’t thank you all enough. As men- tioned and if one even begins to think about it, there are many moving parts to pull it all together. Everyone that came, purchased, displayed, shared or just walked through and joined a club, “You’re all part of the solution”. A new “covid world twist” surfaced with the wrist bands procedure to not stamp hands and even the civic center personnel subscribed to the MSA’s quick creation. While there were a ton of people involved, our lead dog “Al Swett” deserves a call out as one of his final statements as time was closing in was “I want that room full”! And full it was with laughter,

call you back if not immediately answered. Thanks to all the clubs that have updated their Officer Update Forms too. This form also can now be done from either website and only takes a comfy chair and a laptop. Lastly, one of the greatest rewards of suc- cess is when your forefathers continue to sup- port the younger generations of involvement. An incredible thank you goes out to Bob Flagg, Aleta Rioux, Marion Pinkham, Harvey Chesley, Jim White and yours truly. These people, all past presidents of the association, all ACTIVELY participated in this show. Kudo’s all around. I believe I hear my club calling for some help with trail prep so got to run! Thanks to all for a great show put together entirely by VOLUNTEERS! Bring on the White Stuff!

all the same reasons and the whole idea behind it all is to first and foremost have fun and enjoy ourselves. As we prepare ourselves for the season a few things to keep in mind, the first thing that comes to mind is that roughly 95% of all the trails that we ride over is privately owned, that’s right. I can’t tell you how many indi- vidual landowners that we (285 or so clubs) each year go out and ask for permission to use they’re land to snowmobile on, land that most owners pay dearly for and cherish. So for them to grant us access to use said land we are truly grateful for, and all the more reason to respect it and treat it like we would want our own property treated. It’s really a pretty simple concept and one that we all need to consciously be aware of, because (and we’ve all heard it a thousand times) without these generous landowners we would all be riding in circles around our own houses. The second thing that comes to mind is, when you’re riding down that perfectly groomed trail, that is 15 feet wide and all brushed back, with signs along the way to inform or warn you of something ahead, bridges that are in place and built strong enough to handle a several ton groomer. The intersections that are signed as to where you are and where you’re going, some with lighted kiosks making it easier to see at night. All of these things to keep you safe and hope- fully give you a sense of assurance and the best possible riding experience for YOU the snowmobiler. Why am I telling you all this? Because everything that you see out on the in Carrabassett Valley. Solon club is working on a 82’ bridge. Other clubs are working on bridges, getting equipment ready. There is snow on Sugarloaf today and 38 degrees in Kingfield this morning, so it’s coming before you know it! In Kingfield we are doing a bonfire and fireworks this year. Eastern region: Eileen Lafland- Marion hosted a 10 club meeting. A lot of bridge repairs. Things are going smoothly. Exec. V.P. Al- Thank you to Beth and Roland for being the cornerstone in Epping, it was awesome to show the other MSA officers what this event is all about. Safety: Al- Already has two invites come do a safety course in Caribou and Presque Isle. Looking forward to going to Medway and Brad asked to pencil in a safety check in Leeds. If you want to take the groomer coarse, it’s online or I can get you a DVD and tests, then send them to Candice. Be careful out their doing trail work, wear your proper PPE. Steering committee: John Monk- Clubs are weighing out LD1033, Sunday hunting. Landowners are on both sides. MSA is taking a “Obstained” position, choosing not to dictate to the landowners what they will or won’t do. I asked Bob F. to include the number of registered sleds on the membership applications to see how many individuals registered multiple snowmobiles. This will help us understand our registration numbers. H ello fellow snowmobilers, Are you all ready to go snowmobiling? The leaLandowner meetings, membership transmittals & trail work. This is the hard work of volunteers statewide from the end of summer until the groomers roll out. Every fall brings a new set of challenges to clubs to ensure we can all ride once the snow hits the ground. Please make a point of meeting with the landowners on your system. Whether it be a phone call, text, email, or a drop in visit all landowners need to be asked for the privilege of using their property. They are the only way we can do what we love. I thank you for the efforts put forth to keep finding connections, helping landowners understand the liability law, and educating people on what it is that you do. There is plenty to do so make sure you promote your trail days, work events, meetings & social gatherings. With new folks moving

trail falls on the backs of volunteers. Nearly 100% of all the work that is put into a specific piece of trail is all accomplished by people just like you and me, which have a passion for the sport, and most take great pride in seeing the final product and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Lastly when out riding a particular trail and you see signs that direct you where to go, please stay within the boundaries of those signs and if they direct you to stay out of a certain area please do so. I can tell you with- out a shadow of a doubt that the signs are put up for a very good reason and if we do not respect them then maybe the next time we try to pass through that piece of trail it may very well be closed. When a club is granted per- mission to put a trail through someone’s prop- erty that typically means we have permission to use “ The Trail “ and not to venture off on to unmarked territory, These are just some really simple things that we can all think about when we strap on our helmets and head out for a ride, again I definitely don’t mean to preach to the choir but I also know how much time and effort it takes to make this all happen. So let’s all put on some miles this Winter and have some fun and remember with the amount of snowmo- biles being sold right now there are some new (novice) riders on the Trails so let’s not forget to educate them as well so that we ALL get plenty of Smiles to the Mile out there! Until we meet again, thank you for reading. Mark Trails committee: Mark Chinnock- ITS maps are out. Next trail workshop is next weekend starting at 9 AM at the show. A three hour meeting with presentation, the Warden service, and Joe Higgins with grants. A lot of urban sprawl effecting our trails causing reroute. Meeting coming up in Shin Pond. Date TBD. Hall of Fame: Beth Bowie- Now taking new applications, available on our website, with a deadline of February 25. Any questions please call. Old Business: Super raffle tickets over 100k. Shin Pond was encouraged to try to sell tickets and have sold over 600 tickets and the Fryeburg Fair sold 7k tickets, which will give any club a financial boost. Chad Dunn from Nitro Trailers had some MSA decals made for the enclosed trailer in the raffle. NO Charge. And people are asking where to get them. It M/S/C “MSA 12” decals will sell for $15.00.” Scott’s Recreation given us anAlcom trailer, while Al was picking up the trailer asked if they wanted to display in the show and they want 4 booths. And also want to display the pink ice fishing shack outside. Liz is working out great in the office. Show update-Asked the Smith boys to display vintage sleds on the main floor. Al is getting it done, filling all the spaces at the show. November 16 th Glenburn Lakeside Riders President’s night. December Waterville Elks Club -Super into the area there should be some new people in your area to help. Some schools require community service hours for high school students to graduate, reach out and engage the younger riders in town. As we gear up for snow, think about signage and safety on your trails. As more people come to Maine to ride from away, we need to make sure they can reach their destination safely and without to much struggle at the intersections. If you need help, ask someone who isn’t familiar with your trails to come for a ride and give some honest feedback. If you would like to do a trailside safety check or help host a snowmobile safety class, please reach out to me, these are great ways to spread the message of snowmobiling safely to the community. If you have a question, problem, concern, or idea on snowmobiling in “The County”, get in touch with me. You can contact me at

With that being said we know that everyone is more than eager to hit the trails, but allow me for a moment to be “ That Guy”, the Guy that might sound like I’m preaching, the Guy that is no fun and way to conservative and practical. But seriously I for one sometimes need to reel myself back in after I strap my helmet on and remind myself what is right and wrong and reconnect my brain back to my throttle thumb for a moment. So we all ride snowmobiles for approximately At 6:43 PM President Mike Grass Jr. called the meeting to order. Pledge of allegiance. Secretary’s Report posted in the newspaper, M/S/C and placed on file at the office. Treasurer’s report. Read and placed on file at the office. President’s Comments- Mike Grass Jr.: Introduced Liz. our new employee at the office.(welcomed with a round of applause.) Recently went to a small club in Detroit and helped them go from a club grant to a municipal grant, because they took over more trails from another club. Also answered a lot of questions about MSA. At the N.H. Grass Drags we were well represented. Roland, Beth, Lori, Mark, Bob, John, Mel., Eileen, Larry and myself.

Eastern Region VP

Super Raffle tickets while we were there and answered questions and encouraged people to come to Maine. If you didn’t get to the MSA Snowmo- bile Show in Augusta, that’s too bad. MSA worked really hard to make this event a real- ity this year, and it was. While some vendors who have been there in the past didn’t make it this year due to supply issues, there were other vendors who stepped in. Overall, everyone I talked to was just glad to be out and able to see what is happening and to get ready for the 2021-22 riding season. The people in atten- dance were excited and just waiting for snow to fall. I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU TOALL the MSAvolunteers and vendors who made this show a success. It reminds of our saying, “ United we trail, divided we fail.” One thing for sure, we didn’t fail! To my Eastern Region clubs- great job so far with submitting memberships!! It was brought to my attention by Bob F. that it seems the Eastern region clubs get their mem- berships in early in the season and I have to agree. From what I have seen entering them into the system, you clubs are making it hap-

pen. Statewide, I am seeing quite a few new members and members returning from years past as well, so again it appears the interest is high. Let’s hope Ole Man Winter puts us at the top of his list this year for snowfall. Watch for the MSA’s new website that should be coming soon if it isn’t already out there. It looks great and will showcase Maine snowmobiling and what we have to offer. Tre- mendous thanks to Lori and Bob for all they have done getting this togethe r. While I am in the thanking mode, if you see any of these people when you are out and about, please take the time to thank them for all they are doing behind the scenes to keep moving MSA forward and the office up and running: Al Swett, Lori Hemmerdinger, Bob Flagg, Mike Grass, Mark Chinnock, John Monk and Larry Lafland. I thoroughly enjoy working with this group of people and seeing how we are taking MSA forward!! Until December, Good luck to all you hunt- ers and to everyone- I hope you can enjoy Thanksgiving with your family and friends this year! Eileen

checking everyone going into the show and 3 hours selling tickets. These were the best places to be. I was able to say Hi and talk to a lot of people I haven’t seen in a long time. It’s been a long 2 years and I hope this means we are on our way back to normal. Now back to this year I would like to see all the sleds we saw last winter on the trails this winter. I hope these people know we have trails as good if not better than anywhere else. I tell them we have the best trails in the northeast if not the USA, and I hope this keeps them coming back again and again. To make this happen we have got to put our best foot forward, I know this makes extra work for all of you, but you have proven year after year not only can you do this but it just gets better and better. Thank you all. After you have given this gift to everyone, just take time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Remember work and ride safe, have fun and remember to call me if I can help. Think SNOW. Keep Smiling, Be Safe Jack Lord Larry and I went to the NH snowmobile event in October for the first time. There were so many sleds and vendors promoting snow- mobiling in their areas it was great fun. I enjoyed talking to and hearing from everyone that stopped by the Maine Snowmobile Asso- ciation booth. All were enthusiastic and ready for a winter of riding. The grass drag races were amazing to watch and the water crossing and oval water racing was something I have never seen before. MSA sold many, many held their first meetings of the season and for some clubs the first in person meeting in over a year. Landowner suppers were held to thank those wonderful people who allow us to use their property each year to do what we love to do, snowmobile! The Glenburn Lakeside Riders hosted an area meeting in October. While attendance wasn’t what they expected, some of the area clubs did attend and got to talk about trail issues and other news. This club will be host- ing the November MSA Directors President’s Night meeting at their club on November 16th. Make sure to get your reservations in early, as seating is limited.

W ell, October sure went by fast, didn’t it? There were many things to do snowmo- bile related in October and from what I saw people are excited to get the season going. Memberships were sent out to clubs and are coming back to the office at a good rate. Clubs

News from the Membership Corner By Eileen Lafland

Wow! Once clubs received their membership packets, they went right to work sending out the renewals and getting them turned in to the MSA office. It is wonderful to see the large stacks of mail with all the memberships coming in. Keep up the great work everyone!

A Note to Club Membership people-

Jack Lord Home: (207) 672-3915 Cell: 207-717-7131 Email: jacklord5256@gmail.com

1. Can you please have members fill out the section which asks for total #of people inyour family? Thesenumbersare used for the total MSA members and we would like them to be as accurate as possible. If a new member doesn’t fill it in, we place a 1 in there. Also, if a member has been a member for many, many years, but the number of people in the family hasn’t changed just ask them if it is the same. 2. When submitting Business memberships- Please ask the business what town they would like to be listed under in The Maine Snowmobiler newspaper. Some busi- nesses join clubs in towns other than where they are located but would like the listing to be where the busi- ness is. Your club gets credit for them in your member- ship count no matter what town they ask to be listed in. There are also businesses that join multiple clubs across the state and they may want to recognize the town they join in. Just ask and record it on the card. As of October 25th, here are some facts and figures. Of the 282 clubs in the state, 140 have submitted member- ships. In alphabetical order a shout out to these clubs that have submitted over 50 memberships (combined family and business): Blue Ridge Riders, Benedicta Snowgang, Bridgton Easy Riders, Caribou SC, Eastern Maine Snow- mobilers, Fryeburg Area Snowmobile Association, Lin- coln Snowhounds, Moosehead Riders, Northern Timber Cruisers, Washburn Trail Runners and Windham Drifters. How about a number report? This is something that has been done in the past at Directors meetings and usually brings some friendly rivalries about so here there are. October 25th membership totals by region- Central – 352, Coastal-380, Eastern-815, Northern- 596, and Western-438 for a total of 2,581 memberships! Nice start to the season everyone!

H i All,

I was at the 2021 MSA snowmobile show on Sunday. I was given the jobs, 4 hours

H ello Everyone, It’s that time of the year the snowmobile show is over and it was a great one. Now it’s crunch time get the groomers ready and bridges built because it’s coming fast we had a dusting in Kingfield already. Remember only a month and a half left to sell raffle tickets a great way to make the club a little extra money. Also, remember to get your memberships in and always carry a couple with you because there is nothing like in the moment when someone asks how do I join a club you are ready for them. One more thing that helps me out in Kingfield is during hunting season reach out to the locals and ask if they see any blow downs or other obstacles in the trails. With many miles of trail, this helps to pin point bad areas that need attention. Remember to wear orange even on Sundays a good habit to do. Until next month think Snow. Jim James Boyce, 207-265-6512 1168 Fosterhill Road • Freeman ME 04983 Jboyce1168@gmail.com

S now on the high peaks, Maine Snowmobile Show was a great turn out!!! Raffle tickets for our sleds & prizes are selling like wildfire. Super Raffle drawing is coming soon. Good luck to all who have purchased tickets. Trail work is in full swing. Good Luck to all the hunters this year. As I clean up my yard, I hear sleds being started from my snowmobiling neighbors. Our season will soon begin. A huge Thank You to all volunteers across our state for hours & hours of hard work making Maine the best riding in the Northeast. Enjoy your holidays, register your sleds and get ready to ride... Dave

RIDE ONLY WHERE IT’S LEGAL JOIN US IN TAKING THE PLEDGE TO RIDE WHERE IT’S LEGAL

Help us to protect future generations of snowmobilers and the landowners that give us access We are facing a very serious issue in our sport with trespassing and off trail riding in places where it is not legal. A great majority of our trail system relies on private landowners allowing us to put trails on their property. If we lose their permission and sup- port, we will lose a huge part of our riding areas. Because of this the Manufacturers, clubs, associations and many other industry business have joined in an effort to help preserve our access. It’s called “ Take the Pledge” and here’s how it reads:

✔ I realize that illegal off-trail riding is closing access for all snowmobilers and endangering our riding freedoms. This is about more than my personal rights or my wishes —this about the good of the entire riding community. ✔ I Pledge to ride off trail only where I know it’s legal and accepted. ✔ I Pledge to check before going off-trail if I don’t know. ✔ I Pledge to protect access for future generations by doing the right thing. ✔ I Pledge to protect access by encouraging those I ride with to take the Pledge also.  Protect Snowmobiling access so we and future generations can continue to enjoy the riding freedoms we currently have.  Protect the Landowners that allow trails to cross their property.  Protect snowmobiling by riding off-trail ONLY where it is legal and allowed. Please support the Maine Snowmobile Association and the entire sport of snowmobiling by taking the PLEGE! Why take the Pledge?

For more information and to Take the Pledge go to www.snowmobilerspledge.com.
