Trails: There has been much interest in trail #706 from This fall we also have a number of projects, including plans to install a number of culverts along E107, rerouting of trail #747, rerouting of trail #704, along with widening of trail sections to accommodate the new front blade we will be installing on the Ford groomer this fall. As always we can always use volunteers for trail work (as well as many other jobs). If you can spare some time, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Map Boards: Most of you have likely noticed the new map boards being installed at some of our trail junctions. When complete there will be maps and advertising at all of our main trail junctions, this will help riders to find their way to amenities throughout the area. Thanks to Glen Bugg for his work on this project. Anyone interested in advertising please contact the club.
A NOTE TO ATV RIDERS: All of our trails are for snowmobile use only. Many of them travel across private property for which permission has been given for snowmobiles only. We have been fortunate to have not lost any trails due to trespassers (yet). Remember your activities in the summer season may result in having no trail to ride on during the winter months. Thanks to a grant from the OFSC we will be installing many gates on the trails this fall to help reduce trespassing.

__________________________________________________________ FALL 2008
A message from your New President:
A Word from the VP: Hello fellow sledders! Where did summer go? I guess everyone’s question is are we going to have lot’s of snow this year? Last year was awesome, the large groomer ran 3 times the amount of the previous year. The trails were better than most highways! Permit sales were also up again from the previous year, and we would like to thank all of our permit holders for your support in 07/08. Also a big thank you to our landowners for the use of their property. Also we would like to thank our vendors for their support. A big thank you to all of our volunteers for your hard work! Our new trail maps look a little different this year, all trails have been GPS'd so the maps reflect this more accurate data. We have been back to work on the # 747 to Apsley (James Rd.). We are about 2 kms from completing the work begun last year. Work on E107 from Nephton to Jacks Lake fixing up water holes has also begun. We are currently working to open a new trail to Dunsford Rd. for access to food and gas. This trail will be # 702. We are working on 5 new sign boards along with map holders to be located on our trail system, showing gas, food, etc. Anyone wanting to volunteer please call: GROOMING:
Over the past couple of years our grooming has been improving. Well, expect even better this year with the addition of more groomer operators + increased grooming frequency on most of our trails. >
NEW WEBSITE : WWW.STONEYLAKESNORIDERS.CA Late last winter we launched our new website (much thanks to Bill Baldasti). It offers a much more modern look as well as more up to date information for you – our members. Trail condition reporting has been increased to every day so you will know what the trails are like with just a click of your mouse. Look for more features to be added this fall – just in time for winter.
