Now
that the season has come to an end, we would also like to thank The Easter
Seals Society for partnering with Snowcrest Riders on February 23, 2008 for our
2nd Annual Snow-A-Rama. With
your help we raised a total of $4320.10. Plans are already being made to make
this event even bigger and better for next year. We would like to thank the
staff at Boston Pizza at the Wharf for all their hard work before the run. They donated delicious breakfast pizzas with
juice, coffee, tea and hot chocolate.

We
put a new spin on our Annual Pancake Breakfast in January, this year we added a
Family Fun Day with outdoor activities and had a visit from the Muskoka
Wildlife Centre.
The
season started earlier than in the last couple of years and Mother Nature gave
us some unrivalled weather conditions.
We never did get frost into the ground and when things were looking
promising and we were almost ready to stake lakes and open more trails, in came
the mild weather and rain. We had flowing water on trails that have never had any
water problems before, ever! Finally,
after much dedicated hard work from our volunteers and cooler temperatures, we got
them open and the lakes staked. However, every second Tuesday, we had spring
again. If nothing else, it was an
adventurous season!! We ended with about
15-22 inches of ice on most of the lakes. On March 31 there was nothing left on
the roads, some of the trails had bare patches and some of the swamps were
starting to open up, for everyone’s safety we reluctantly had to close our
trails for the season. For our volunteers and groomer operators it was an
extremely long season and not without some extremely complex conditions. We would like to thank them all, for their
hard-work and dedication.
We
would also like to thank our Landowners, you are all vital to the sport of
snowmobiling, without you our trail season would not exist. We also would like to thank the MooseFM for
airing our Snow-A-Rama and Annual Pancake Breakfast, Muskoka Today and the
Gravenhurst Banner for coming out to our events. We would like to thank our Permit
Distributors who volunteer their time to fill out the permit applications and
help us sell our permits and to all of you who purchased a permit, thank you!
