There are at least two club rides per month so that everyone gets a
chance to meet other snowmobilers and ride new areas. These rides also
provide an opportunity to less-experienced riders to call on the expertise
of the seasoned veteran snowmobilers. The club also grooms many trails in
the area for multiple uses by cross-country skiers, dog sledders,
snowshoers and hikers. For more information about the club and what
areas/trails have been groomed, call (970) 884-2101. You can go to www.sanjuansledders.org
