Trail Conditions At The Gateway To Snow Country!

h.s.c. TRAIL conditions page :

UPDATED ON : Thursday, February 02, 2012 05:32 PM

 Clubs mark & maintain trails for a reason:

First and Foremost - #1 Its where the landowner wants us.

#2 The clubs mark and maintain a safe route for snowmobilers to travel.

#3 Always stay between the double marked stakes - if you don't there may be a hidden stump, rock or debris just under the snow line. Also you maybe riding on a freshly planted crop or meadow that a farmer has planted. If you ride these areas and rip up a field or crop that's money that person is out and very well may cause a trail closure.

#4 Always pay attention to the trail signs. They are there for your safety as well as others riding the trails. Never assume you know where the trail is. Trails can and do change season to season and sometimes during the season.

#5 Ride Safe - Ride Sober and Don't Use Drugs ! The life you save very well may be your own!
