Remember: South Dakota Snowmobile Trails open December 15th.

We will be out with the Sno-Cat before the official opening on different sections of the trail knocking down cattails and weeds. We won’t be pulling the drag until the 15th so bear with us there will be hazards and rough spots until we can get a pass or two with the drag. The ground is freezing and if we get even a little snow here and there it looks like we will be able to start building some base on the trail and have a great season ahead of us. As always ride safe and respect private property.

Thank You.

With all this recent snow so early in the year we want to remind you that all east river snowmobile trails including the approximately 70 miles of Whetstone Valley Trails officially open December 15th. Our club members worked hard at getting the trail signed and the groomer ready before the weather changed. Please remember when riding in town to take the most direct route to and from where you are going. Be mindful of private property. We look forward to more snow and good year of snowmobiling. If you are interested in joining our local club to help keep our trail along with state and national areas open to riding we meet the first Monday of each month at the VFW in Milbank, SD at 7pm.
