Thanks. We were thinking the same thing. Lots of good stuff going forward all we need is time snow and volunteer helpers and support. Scott is doing a excellent job goobersmooching with the government and other stakeholders in the area to secure our area and improve it as we can.
We will keep all posted on work days and whats going on.
Etherington area is closed because of culvert work and snow is nil at the staging area.
This year was a great growth year for the club and for the renew of the trails and even for grooming. We will still have the use of the ALL TRACK snowmobile trail groomer again in the early season to help set the trails. We would all like to thank them again for the use of the grooming unit and for their commitment on improving the area. If anyone has a spare $100,000.00 + they want to donate we could really use that grooming unit for the future. LOL
On the dirt trail work will be going on in the area. Backcountry flood people will be out installing some new bridges again this summer season. Thanks to them also for all they are doing and have done to improve our area. We sure wish they could carry on for many years.

Thanks for all of you area users for coming to the area and for those who purchased a trail pass to help support development and maintance of the area. The future is looking very good and we are planning already to continue improving the area.
If your interested in helping in the future and getting involved just private message me or Scott and we will get you on the list.

For this weekend's Trail Maintenance Days, we have changed where we will be camping at. We are now camping within the equestrian camping area of Etherington Creek P.R.A. campgrounds. The equestrian campground is located all the way to "the back" of the area, near the trailhead. When you enter Etherington Creek on the gravel road, follow it all the way in, to the back, and the equestrian campground is there, with the Group Camping area on the south side of the road. See all that can make it, who are coming out.
