***** February 24, 2012 *****

Greetings!  I hope that you all have found some good riding this year.  Hopefully with the storm predicted for tonight (2-5 inches here in Campton area) this will help get us riding again.   

Introducing the new Bald Mountain Trail

Below are construction pictures along with some pictures I took a couple weeks ago of the new Bald Mountain Trail. There are many Before & Afters that really show the hard work involved in trail construction.  This trail didn't "just happen".  Our volunteers spent many, many, hours planning, meeting, and then building this trail.  It is really beautiful!

Here are some statistics:

  * 2 miles of brand new trail 

* 100 volunteer hours just for the planning and permitting process.  This entails completing applications, walking the land to determine best placement, and meeting with Forest Service representatives 

* 300 hours of excavation time 

* Trail-work crew volunteers gave up their Saturdays this past Fall

You will see the captions & if you log in with your Google account - you can even post comments.

(Also included in album - Groomer Rodeo pictures & Stinson Mountain View)

   THANK YOU to everyone for your hard work in making this trail happen for CNHSC!!  

Groomer Shelter - Wish List

We would like to get the machines out of the elements.  With the cost of these machines, it will help us keep them in good shape.  We are purchasing two 40 foot box trailers to use for club storage and are planning to place them side by side with enough room in between them to park the groomers.  Then we are planning to construct a roof so that the groomers can be parked and stored undercover.   We would need trusses that are approximately 30 feet and also various roofing materials.  If anyone has any building materials that they would be willing to donate it would be very much appreciated.  With the lack of snow this winter we don't have much grooming reimbursement funds coming in.  

If you have materials or wish to make a monetary donation for this project please email us.

Club Officers - Voting & Nominations

At our next meeting we will be selecting a nominating committee for 2012-2013 club officers.  The actual elections will be held at the April meeting.  We encourage ANYONE interested in working with CNHSC to stop by a meeting and say "HI".  

Next Meeting - Date Change 

March 7th will be our next meeting - 7pm at Campton Elementary School.  

(We moved this up a week because Campton town meeting is the 14th)

 Hello Everyone!!  We are off to a really slow start to this snowmobiling season.  Someone please sweet talk mother nature!!  We were out this weekend with both machines packing and clearing downed trees.  The gates are open.

Fall was really busy here at CNHSC.  We built 2 miles of new trail & numerous bridges and it has turned out beautiful!  We also repaired a bunch of bridges that were damaged/moved by Hurrican Irene.  A big THANK YOU to all of our volunteers that spent their Saturdays working on the trail crew.

CNHSC Family Fun Day 2/20/11

Wow!  We had a great day on Sunday!

*******************************************************************************

Central NH Snowmobile Club is a non-profit organization with over 400 members, 70+ miles of trails, and two full size groomers and drags. Our membership base consists of many local community members, as well as many out of staters. Some have second homes here, some simply vacation here …they come from as far away as CT & MD.
 

CNHSC's trail system covers the towns of Campton, Thornton, and Ellsworth NH. Most of which is on private property where generous landowners have granted permission for a snowmobile trail to cross their property. PLEASE respect landowners, wildlife, and the trails themselves as many, many, people have worked very hard to secure these trails for the benefit of everyone.

Joining a club is the best way to meet others with like interests. We have club meetings monthly, fundraising events and family fun days. We also will look for a little help from you from time to time doing trail work or volunteering for a fundraising event. Everyone in the club is a VOLUNTEER! The only "payment" to volunteers is the rewarding feeling they get from having a great trail system, successful fundraising events, and time spent with friends. So please... Join our club and enjoy the reward of life long friendships that will evolve because you're involved!
