So proud to be part of this community of snowmobilers and good neighbors! A family with their trailer and vehicle got stuck and Brandon Lemaire, Michael Bower and Steven Gowie each made a contribution to helping them out. Taking care of each other is what it is all about! ![]()
This is the information reported to me, if anyone else was involved please share their names here, they deserve to be acknowledged. ![]()
Thank you guys for being good people and great ambassadors to our sport.
Woodford SnoBusters Trail Report, February 5, 2023: A domino effect of actions has made today ideal snowmobiling conditions. The big storm, the volunteers' tireless efforts to clear and groom after the big storm, a solid freeze and now today's mild sunny weather. Enjoy!
Woodford SnoBusters Trail Report, February 4, 2023: It is COLD out there!! Currently -23 degrees with possible wind chills from 30-50 below zero. Yikes! ![]()

Woodford SnoBuster Trail Report, February 2, 2023: We are getting positive reports about the trails from riders. Our groomers were out Sunday night and again last night. With all the recent trail clearing, attention to water bars and grooming, these cold temps should firm up the trails nicely.![]()
That being said, use EXTREME CAUTION in the next few days, as temperatures are going to be very cold with wind chills getting as low as 30-50 below zero! ![]()
Ride safe! Think Snow!

Groomer operator, Jeff Miller just took care of one of the water holes with one of the grooming machines tonight. His dad (also a groomer operator) is following behind to fill in even more. Our volunteers are why we have any riding! Thanks, guys!
Douglas Harrison found a pair of gloves in the Adams lot early Saturday morning and would like to return them to owner. He believes they were left Friday sometime. If they might be yours, message him on FB, or reach out to me so we can reunite you with your gloves. Thank you, Douglas, for reaching out. ![]()

Woodford SnoBuster volunteers don't stop giving! They work tirelessly to clear and groom the trails, then volunteer their time and efforts to our Annual Charity Hot Dog Roast, where all proceeds go to local charities. Join us on February 18th from Noon-3:00 pm at Airport Road, Somerset for a bonfire, delicious food and great snowmobile community, all for a good cause! ![]()

Woodford SnoBusters have the best volunteers!!! Thank you, Chris Thompson and Bob Rustico for your help cutting trail from BN 11 down to Harriman Dam. This is why we get the most out of each season, volunteers like this! Appreciate your efforts.![]()

Today the DeSouza family went to each water hole and drained them...even ones we were not aware of. Thank you, DeSouzas!!
Woodford SnoBusters Trail Report, January 27, 2023: These photos speak for themselves! Our volunteers were out all day and have come across some ugly conditions. Irene & Larry DeSouza along with Pat Gavin were cutting/brushing the feeder trail to Woodford General Store. Greg Lancto has been covering a lot of ground, taking care of low hanging tree/branches and water bars. Our groomer operators are making the best of what we have. All working to make the trails passable. Please always remember, without volunteers there are no trails!![]()
Ride with extreme caution, as you can see, there are a lot of hazards.![]()

Woodford SnoBusters Trail Report, January 26, 2023: The rain did not wreak havoc with the trails, thankfully. We are expecting a little more mixed precipitation today, then snow. You know our groomer operators are trail whisperers, they will get them in the best shape possible. Think snow!
John Stowell found a pair of glasses on the trail right at BN 12 this morning. He picked them up and hung them on the sign board at the junction, if they are yours. ![]()
