Good morning everyone! HUGE thank you to Turbo and Diane for stepping up to help last night! They were out very early yesterday morning, and jumped in to help again last night when we had a hole in the schedule.
Here’s what Turbo had to say-
“Hello! For the second time today, we were back at it again grooming Trail 8 into Brimley and the power lines. We stepped up to the plate, because somehow signals got crossed and nobody was going out tonight to groom this route. We checked the Groomer tracker app at 10 tonight and noticed the groomer wasn't out. After a day with over a thousand sleds out we figured we better go out and clean things up and make it good for Sunday. It was a good thing we did. As you can see from the pictures it was whooped up from all of the traffic. We always want everyone to have the best riding experience while on our trails. We definitely didn't want to let anyone down. Trails are excellent! Get out and ride and enjoy the holiday weekend. Time for us to get some much needed rest. Until next time, Turbo”
Looks awesome guys! Sunday riders will sure appreciate your hard work and dedication! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0215 #snowphotos
Happy Valentines Day and happy trail stop day!
Turbo and Diane went out very early this morning on their run on parts of 480, 8, and the 889 loop.
Here’s their report-
“Good morning everyone. Love is in the air! What a great way to spend our Valentines Day. I can't think of a more lovely way to treat Mrs. Turbo than to grab the Pisten Bully and groom some trails. All the while jamming out to some good old romantic music. Now for the good stuff. We left around 5:30am, to do the Mission Hill run(trail 889) we had to wait for the temperature to cool down. It got slightly above freezing last night. Passed our first sleds about 7:20. Four young men were up early hitting the trails. Not much has changed on the trails. Still excellent. Perfect riding conditions. Don't forget, it's our annual trail stop at the intersection of 8 and 889 in Raco. Please stop out and support us. Join the Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association if you're not already a member. We also have a donation box. Every little bit helps. Also, make sure you get a cup of our world famous hot cocoa. Make sure you tell them Turbo sent you. We are planning on going home and taking a nap. Have fun. Stay safe. Stay sober.”
Thank you guys! We hope to see you at the trail stop today in Raco from 11-3 where trails8 and 889 meet! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0214 #snowphotos
Good morning all! We absolutely love receiving messages like this!
Thank you, Stewart K. for sending this and for your feedback!
“Had the great pleasure of meeting Richard on the trail yesterday on our ride from the Sault to Brimley. The trails were fantastic. Thank you.”
Stewart came upon Rich cutting up a tree in the trail and stopped to help him👏🏼👏🏼
Rich is 80 some years young and has been volunteering nearly as long as I’ve been alive. He’s a treasure to our club, and we so appreciate his service!
Thank you again, Stewart! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0213 #snowphotos
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Paula and Carl with the Motor City SledHeads LLC, as well as all of these awesome people who participated in their annual couples ride here in the Soo and surrounding area 2 weekends ago!
I was fortunate to join them, and I had a great time!
We appreciate their very generous donation to our club!
We hope you’ll come back again! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0212b #snowphotos
