To extend the life of our Trail Paver II drag, we like to groom early and late season conditions with our old MogulMaster. Well, the old MM has expired and is beyond repair.
We searched for a used unit to take the place as our “beater” drag and came across this beauty being sold by our friends the Savoy Kanary Kats Snowmobile Club in Savoy, MA. This appears to have more time being repainted twice than it does cutting trails. A life in PA and MA has been soft on it…and that’s about to change here in the NEK. 😜
Thanks to club members Zach and Pete Martowski for trailering this up from MA and thanks to Travis and Bud from TBC Custom Trades LLC for unloading here in Burke.

Our volunteers are out getting the stakes and signs pulled (…and no, we won’t put them back when it snows tomorrow.)

Planning has started on a reroute on Trail 5 just above East Burke that should improve our early and late season conditions through one of our gnarliest areas. Discussions on specific route details with 2 awesome landowners are in full swing - and one will have direct access to their AirB&Bs. More to come.

Our sled raffle this year was a great success, so we have another unit on order with Walt’s. This time, with the new 600RR motor and still in a 137” track length. NOT a routine el Cheapo raffle rig. More communication from Kim on that in the future as well as Kristen, who will be helping facilitate the raffle.

Some of you may be aware that we use an old drag for early and late season grooming, to keep the Trail Paver drag in top shape. Well, the old, “beater” drag has met its end of life and we’re evaluating purchase of a gently used drag, even though we’re broke 🫩. Stay tuned.

Have a great off-season and Thank a Landowner!!!
