Club Meeting – Wed, May 3rd

Posted on April 29, 2023 by Red River Sno-Riders

Once again, it’s time for our last meeting of the year. The meeting will be held at the Fire Hall in Horace at 7pm on Wed, May 3rd.

Our spring meetings always include tasks to close out the current season. For example, doing trail equipment maintenance, trail sign removal and general tasks like picking up banners from sponsors. But it is also when start the process of pre-planning for next season. For most, the snowmobile season is in the rearview mirror and quickly becomes out of mind. But if you think about it, now is actually the right time to start getting the club set up for success next season. To that end we want to again invite all area snowmobile enthusiasts and trail users to get involved by coming to a meeting. Come see what the club does to promote and enable snowmobiling and other community activities. Keep in mind our club meetings are a great way to meet other snowmobile enthusiasts. We are all volunteers in this endeavor but don’t worry, we don’t make anyone volunteer their time just because they show up. Your level of participation in helping your local snowmobile club is always up to you.

One special topic for this meeting will be club board elections. We have been going year by year with our board positions so it’s time to do it again so we can have the new board in place for continued pre-planning of tasks for next season. Being on the board is the ultimate way to get involved with your local snowmobile club. Hope you can join us and support the process.

We’ll see you there!!!

Trail Sign Removal – Sat, April 29th

Posted on April 26, 2023 by Red River Sno-Riders

After a long deep winter, and subsequently a fantastic snowmobiling season, it is time to begin the work of collecting signs from the trail system. This is one of the really big jobs the club has to complete each year. We can always use more help with this type of effort and it’s a great opportunity to give back to your local snowmobile club and even meet some new friends. As we all know, many hands make light work.

If you can help, meet at Casey’s in Horace this Saturday, April 29th at 9am. If you have a 4-wheeler bring it as that can help expedite the process. We will be along roads so if you have fluorescent/high-vis clothing, wear it to increase safety. We will have some on-hand as well.

See you Saturday!!!

Our next club meeting will be held on Wednesday, Dec 7th at 7pm at the Horace Fire Station.

Trail signs have been installed, trail maps have been printed and the groomer has been readied. A big thank you to all the volunteers who has helped get the trails prepared for the upcoming season. It’s a big effort and every set of hands are very much appreciated. Now we are awaiting enough snow to begin grooming operations and to officially open the trails. Keep doing that snow dance!!!

Trail Signing – Saturday, Nov 19th

Posted on November 14, 2022 by Red River Sno-Riders

Installing the trail system is the biggest effort the club takes on each season. The snow is already starting to accumulate and with more cold temperatures on the way the ground will be freezing up soon so it’s time to get this job done.

Trail signing is scheduled to start this Saturday, Nov 19th. The plan is to meet at 9:00am at Casey’s in Horace. Once assembled we will determine how many crews we can send out and which areas each crew will cover. If you have a 4-wheeler please bring it along as they provide a real boost to efficiency. If you have safety clothing (fluorescent yellow or blaze orange) bring that along as well and wear it. We will have some available but want to make sure everyone is as visible as possible for safety.

Can’t commit to the whole day? That’s fine too. Any time you can provide would be great. Contact us via Facebook or email us at snoriders@hotmail.com to let us know your schedule and we can exchange contact info to ensure we can meet somewhere on the trail.

Additional signing days will be scheduled as needed after this initial push so if this Saturday doesn’t work out for you, stay tuned for additional opportunities to help out.

We are all volunteers and without volunteers, there is no trail. Please consider helping out, even if it is for a short period of time, every set of hands helps.
