Saturday 1/30/21 there will be a club meeting, outdoors at the bonfire site on Agnew trail, Chambers Rd 1PM.

1/24/21

The bonfire yesterday afternoon was a great success as we had aprox 50 snowmobilers stop by during the course of the afternoon to warm up by the fire and converse with each other. As a result we are planning on making this a weekly event. Thanks to the folks on Stag Hollow Rd who have volunteered to supply pallets for next weekend making our wood scrounging a lot easier.

1/26/21

  All trails have been groomed  today another dusting of powder fell on the trails. In general roadway and RR Bed trails are in good shape, woodland trails are still in need of snow.  You are apt to come across an occasional rock, log, or open water so ride with caution and watch your speed.

Many thanks to Richard Garabedian for stepping up and taking on the responsibility of the Treasurers job, we know with his business background he will do the job efficiently and responsibly. 

 

Due to the covid 19 problem no club meetings will be held on the regular schedule. If an emergency arises we will have to meet somewhere where we can meet state requirements for safety.

There are questions as to whether or not we will have a normal snowmobile season this coming year, the answer at this time is YES we will have a snowmobile season although it may have some wrinkles like Restaurants, Motels, Gas Stations etc may not be open or be on restricted schedules, Clubhouses may be closed along with warming hut’s. You will be well advised to call ahead before venturing to the north country for a weekend of riding. Trails will be Groomed and maintained as in the past on the same schedules as this coming season’s GIA will not change. Registration fees have gone up to $99.00 for residents who join a club and $119.00 for nonresidents who join a club. NHSA’s interactive website is revised and easier to use for those who want to join a club online.

  2020-2021 Trail maps now available. Send $6.00 to Jefferson Hilanders S.C. Po Box273 Jefferson NH 03583. Click our Facebook link to see map. Be sure to include your return address with remittance.   

 

                             

VIP Access to 7,000 miles of NH Snowmobile Trails

 

From Dan Gould NHSA Executive Director:

One little understood aspect of snowmobiling is the cost of grooming. Imagine that you could buy a single-day lift ticket and then ski all season at any resort in the state at no additional cost. Crazy talk, right?

Well, that’s essentially what you get with a snowmobile registration. It costs about the same as a single-day on the slopes but allows VIP access to 7,000 miles of trails anywhere in NH. For the whole year! That’s the best deal on snow, and you can thank a tiny number of club volunteers who make it a reality.

Problem is, registration dollars no longer cover the costs of making smooth trails. What’s a volunteer to do if they don’t have enough cash to fill the groomer with fuel? That’s the question that snowmobilers face today. The answer is obvious. We all need to pitch in and make life easier for the club volunteers to maintain the trails we love so much. It’s the least we can do.

[Ken adds] Even if you are unable to physically help, it will help if you join a club that’s on the trail systems you ride. In other words, if you spend some decent time riding in the Jefferson area, it would help our club if you joined our club for your registration. Thanks!

Pisten Bully 100

Jefferson HiLanders Groomer (PistenBully 100)

The law states that a Groomer has the right of way. Common sense says DO NOT PASS A MOVING GROOMER!!!

Jefferson Hilanders Groomer Pisten Bully 100

RECOMMENDED PRACTICE FOR PASSING A GROOMER approved by NHSA map and trails committee

  1. FOR ONCOMING SLEDS: The sled should pull off the trail and allow the groomer to pass by.
  2. OVERTAKING A GROOMER: The groomer operator should find a safe place to pull over and stop. The rider can then check to see if they can safely pass the groomer.

    NOTE: The groomer operator will not signal a sled to pass.

    Reason: Each rider must take responsibility for passing the Groomer.

NEW HAMPSHIRE STATUTES GOVERNING PASSING A TRAIL GROOMER.
