Greg and Diane Hiles embody the very best in organized snowmobiling. Through decades of leadership, their presence has reached every level of the sport. On a local level they have been active members of the Town & Country Riders since 1995. They never hesitate to volunteer their time for fundraisers, safety courses, Governor’s Rides and any other functions that support their club. Greg has served as Vice-President and Trails Coordinator for various terms. Both Greg and Diane help maintain and mark trails. Greg and Diane attend the South Dakota Snowmobile Association (SDSA) Convention every year and have volunteered countless hours on a state level supporting SDSA. Greg and Diane are Legacy Members of the SDSA and were inducted into the SDSA Hall of Fame in 2019. In 2003 Greg became an SDSA Director, soon moving to a leadership role serving as President 2011-2013. As SDSA President, Greg also served as a delegate for the American Council of Snowmobile Associations (ACSA). In that capacity Greg initiated a fundraiser for the ACSA Legal Defense Fund, raising over $18,000 at the International Snowmobile Congress (ISC) and growing the funds raised to over $40,000.

Diane has also been very involved in organized snowmobiling, serving as club secretary for ten years. She did everything from processing memberships to writing grants.
