Found the picture. This unit will make a huge improvement to the Cataract Creek Snowmobile area. Just need funding. Its a little rough looking but will be great for the family riding area

That's the best news I have heard all year!!!!
Congrats on getting a groomer
It will make a world of difference to your trails and the comfort of your riders

NOT to mention your comfort tooooo!!
No more 10hours on a Skandic sled packing and grooming at -20
Now you have your coffee, turn up the heater, sit back and drive/groom for 10 hours in comfort :) :)
You are still exhausted after 10 hours grooming -- but now you are WARM - ha ha ha

Anyways hope all turns out good and will look forward to a invite to come down and help you groom them trails

Its done and just about ready to go to work. Snow is coming and getting deep. Packing and setting trail its first job. Thanks to all the crew who spent their summer working on this unit. Thanks also who stepped up and helped pay for some upgrades. The Accessory Shop (Darryl Lennox) went out of his way to make it all come together. K&C for helping store it in a nice place to work on it ALL TRACK for belting and cleats and Rivers Edge Welding (Kurt) for the welding as well as all the other businesses.

Looks awesome Glen. I think we are gonna try and make it down to your trail system this year. Is there any sort of trail map available and if so where would a guy pick one up?

Trail maps will be in the “Maps” boxes attached to the kiosks or trailhead information boards as of Dec. 1. Thanks for showing interest in Cataract Creek Snowmobile Trails, and I hope you have a great experience when you get there!

well nice job Gled and all the Calgary club members that worked so hard to get the groomer trail ready.
It always so nice to have corporate sponsors and skilled tradesmen to put the finishing touches onto the machine so you have that extra added confidence 30 miles back in the bush at midnight that yes - you can make it out safely.

Way to go Calgary
pat yourselves on the back and get grooming.

NEED LOTS of GROOMER PICTUREs with those majestic mountains in the background

Looks great, good job to everyone involved.
I have bought a few sled raffle tickets and sold a lot more to help pay for and maintain this groomer.
Buy a sled raffle ticket and a Calgary Club membership to help support our efforts.
Thanks in advance.

Where can I buy a raffle ticket? Looked on the website and didn’t see anything there.

Tickets available from The Accessories shop in High River. Send me a PM and i can get you some numbers of members with them as well
