FALL 2009
Hard to believe that it’s only a few days away from our December 16th trail opening.
We had a few early snow events to get us excited but lately the temperatures have been warm and it doesn’t feel like the season is soon to start. We need to get it cold soon.
The good news is that the last 12 months have run about 5 degrees below average and during a recent tour of the National Weather Center in Norman Oklahoma they said their computer models call for a cold, snowy winter for the Northeast.
It’s time to buy your TMA’s. Early Bird purchases by December 15th will save you some real money. You also want to be ready for opening day so don’t wait until the last minute and miss out. TMA prices remain the same as last year and the $20 surcharge was dropped so the net cost is $20 less than last year.
TMA’s can be purchased at
Enfield Motor Sports, Enfield CT
American Truck Equipment in Waterford Ct.
Chester Hardware
B&B Mobil
Motel in the Meadow, Chester
Carl Moses Snowmobile Repair, Chester
Ken Grimm, Chester Snowmobile Club Membership Chairman
Non resident Early Bird can be purchased on our web site
We have had a few trail changes this year. For those of you who trailer to the Chester Rec Field the trail leaving to the west is rerouted through a couple of sensitive areas, please keep your speed down and as always stay on the trail. Due to some major work on the power lines on corridor 12 / 121 we will not be able to travel the power line but the majority of trails in the area will be open. Look for the signs and stay off the power line for your safety.
The first year in the new barn for our Tucker was a good one. It has made it easier on our groomer operators and as they volunteer their time we don’t want them to have to spend an hour or more cleaning snow and ice out of the tracks and machine every time they get back from several hours of grooming. Dick Jewett and Dick Bigwood have spent another summer and fall working on trail reroutes, bridge repairs, and landowner relations. We owe them a big THANK YOU.
Our Tucker spent time this summer at the dealer for a major T&C. several parts were replaced, fluids changed and upgrades made to be sure the equipment would be ready for a full season of grooming. Our goal is to replace the Tucker with a 2011 model before the start of our next season. Keeping the equipment new limits the down time during the season.
Watch our calendar of events on the web site for club events such as our annual Poker Run.
Have a safe season, stay on the trails, and think snow and think snow often!!!
