Dear Springfield Pathfinders Members,
As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, it’s that time of the year again when we dust off our snowmobiles and prepare for another exciting season of snowmobiling adventures. I am delighted to share my annual message with all of you, and I hope it fills you with anticipation and excitement for the winter wonderland that lies ahead.
First and foremost, I want to extend a warm welcome to our new members who have joined us this year. Your enthusiasm and passion for snowmobiling are greatly appreciated, and we are thrilled to have you as part of our ever-growing snowmobile family.
Reflecting on the past year, it’s clear that our club has achieved many remarkable feats. We’ve organized a few successful rides and outings, did some upgrades to our war-up shelter, and, most importantly, strengthened our bonds as a group of passionate snowmobilers. These accomplishments are a testament to the dedication and commitment of every member of our club.
As we look forward to the upcoming season, I want to highlight some key points:
Safety First: Our top priority is always safety. Please ensure that your snowmobile is in good working condition, wear appropriate safety gear, and abide by all trail rules and regulations. Let’s make this season accident-free.
Trail Maintenance: Our trail system is the backbone of our club, and it’s essential that we maintain it properly. I encourage all members to participate in trail maintenance where they can (see a sign that needs straightening, please straighten) and help keep our trails safe and enjoyable.
Community Engagement: We will continue to actively engage with our local communities and contribute positively to our region. This year let’s plan more events and fundraisers that support the places we love to ride.
Ride Planning: We have some exciting rides and adventures in the works. Keep an eye out for announcements and join us on these fantastic journeys, which promise breathtaking scenery and unforgettable memories.
Environmental Responsibility: With our club’s growth comes a heightened responsibility for protecting the environment. Let’s make conscious efforts to reduce our environmental impact, from minimizing noise pollution to practicing Leave No Trace principles PACK OUT WHAT YOU PACK IN.
I am confident that the coming year will be filled with thrilling snowmobiling experiences and a strong sense of community. Together, we will continue to make our club a remarkable and inclusive place for all snowmobile enthusiasts.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Your support and dedication are the driving force behind our success.
On behalf of the Springfield Pathfinders team, I can’t wait to see you out on the trails, sharing in the joy and excitement that snowmobiling brings.
Wishing you a season filled with fresh powder, spectacular vistas, and lifelong memories.
Stay safe, have fun, and let’s make this winter unforgettable!
Sincerely,
Blaine Moffat
Club President
