Kittiwake Snowmobile Association

Incorporated in 2001, the Kittiwake Snowmobile Association has taken pride in improving the rider experience along the Trail system within Bonavista North.

Kittiwake Snowmobile Association (KSA) is a non-profit group of snowmobilers and outdoor enthusiast, who work with like-minded cabin owners and organizations, to improve the NLSF trail system within our jurisdiction. Our unique Trail provides year-round access to riders, via ATV/Side by Side usage through non-snow months and snowmobile/track machines during the winter. Our volunteer group, in asso

ciation with other interested parties in the area and its partnership with the Newfoundland & Labrador Snowmobile Federation, aims to maintain and improve the overall Trail experience. KSA also educates the public on safety protocols, adding signage to the Trail for better transfer of information on our area, and various fundraising events throughout the year. KSA is operated by a Board of Directors, with an Executive consisting of Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary. Board Members and volunteers are always welcome to join the KSA. In order to become a Member, you must purchase a Trail Pass via the Newfoundland & Labrador Snowmobile Federation, and indicate your area of ridership to be the Kittiwake Snowmobile Association.

The groomer completed most of the eastern sections of the KSA Trail system overnight.

Groomer and drag are now in the shed for some R&R till next year. Northern Lights were dancing last night, too, with a couple images included below of that.

We would like to thank Jamie Oldford and Rodney Oldford for their work on the groomer this year and making our trails some of the best in the province! Thanks to the Newfoundland & Labrador Snowmobile Federation for their continued support! Thanks to our volunteers who have helped out on various projects! Thanks to our sponsors who help with our fundraising! Thanks to all of our supporters who purchase tickets for our draws and who buy trail passes each year from the NLSF!

7:56am, Friday, March 20th - Last Western Run Completed

This Grooming Updated Sponsored By:

- Shoppers Drug Mart Badger's Quay - Wesleyville
- Carter's Dairy/Bakery/Deli Gas Bar
- Back Country Cottages

The groomer went west overnight for the last time this season (unless we gets a blizzard or something in the next week or so). Indian Bay through to Number Two (upper end) were completed, including area around Alley's Pond, Bear Cave, Number Two (lower end) and The Gate. Jamie did try to fix runoffs best he could, but still use extreme caution on all portions of the trail moving forward.

Tonight the groomer will head east and complete as much as possible, then be parked for the rest of the year in Valleyfield. We'll provide an update on that tomorrow morning.
