Ahhh!
Memories of the Wild Days of years gone by in Quebec!
Meet Scott & Jim, two members of the Bammer snowmobile
group that have been riding together for years out of Connecticut.
They discovered an old trail sign from the eighties, on their way
to St-Come. This sign showed the way to what they used to call
"a gentleman's club", but of course as we all know,
they were outlawed years ago. Now it is just a bitter sweet memory.
You went in, got drunk, watched exotic dancers, then staggered out
at 3 am only to discover your ride was missing. Ahhh - the good
old days eh, when we were young and oh so foolish! The Bammer group
of twenty four riders, spent this week in luxury at the Esterel,
and rode 200 miles a day on fabulous smooth trails. They all head
home today. Watch for the next Zen Talk podcast,
where I interview a couple of the boys fromCheers
at Esterel. zw

Retreating to Nipawin
to rip up the trails
Feb 7 2008:
Regina Saskatchewan
- - But it is possible in Nipawin,
where you can come home from snowmobiling to a rustic cabin; head
out to ice fish for the biggest walleye you can find; or spend a
day on the ski slopes. Sherry Michalyca, Nipawin economic development
and promotions officer in addition to a member of the Twin Lakes
Trail Blazers club, said snowmobiling remains a top attraction in
this winter tourist location. "We have people that come from
across North America to enjoy," she said. "We're on the
eastern side of the forest fringe, which is one of the snowmobile
trails that goes all the way along northern Saskatchewan."

Hey Sledder?
Are you ready to Die Too?
Every year about this time, I use this photo to
bring funerals to mind. This may be your near future if you ride
drunk. 77 sledders have died in Wisconsin alone over the past
two years, and countless others have been seriously, permanently
injured with their lives changed forever, and that of their families.
Snowmobiling is a safe sport if you stay sober, stay on the trails,
also go prepared. Use your head cowboy. Safety first, your family
needs you. Below are only SOME of the list of articles I received
today! I get five or ten death announcements every day from all
the mainline press. It makes me sick to my stomach, so, I have
listed the stories of the poor stupid bastards that died yesterday.
Harsh treatment of the dead you say? Hell no, they are were boozing
it up, breaking the law by riding, putting themselves and others
at danger, and in the final analysis, their selfish actions, have
left their families in the lurch. Most of these deaths are not
necessary. They were preventable. Now weep with me, for the
new widows and orphansthat were created yesterday alone.

"Zen, How are you? I just got back from riding
after the big storm in Shawinigan. I went up on Saturday after the
storm, before the grooming started. We rode nothing but moguls all
day long. Sunday the trails improved as the groomers got out and plowed
the snow, they could not even pass without plowing first. Bernard
was great as usual, he worked all day Saturday cleaning snow... I
have included some pics and also made a stop at the Grand Prix Event
on the river in Shawinigan (it runs all week through Sunday),
people should go and check things out when they can" Pat

St-Alphonse Classic
Snowmobile Round up- A
Big Success!
Feb 3 2008: Reporter/photographer BOB PETIT:
St-Alphonse-de-Rodriguez Quebec - - What a beautiful day, and the
trails were so full of 70's snowmobile models, that you would have
thought you were back in a time machine. In spite of the big snow
storm, over three hundred antique and classic snowmobile collectors
showed up for the event. Half way through the trip, we were welcomed
by our friends at the Auberge sur La Falaise, where we were offered
delicious hot chocolate and coffee, which everyone appreciated. When
we got back, there were fun drag races with the old sleds, which took
us all back to the good old days. Bravo to the organizers from Lapointe
Sports in Joliette, for this gem event. I was very impressed! To see
all my 100 photos of the day, please see them on my web

Two snowmobilers rescued,
but the third man Dies
BRECKENRIDGE Colorado: Two of three snowmobilers
lost in the mountains were found in good condition Tuesday night,
but their companion died Tuesday morning.
Summit County Under Sheriff J. Derek Woodman says Craig Morris of
Florida and Murry Melloni of Littleton were found by a National Guard
Black Hawk helicopter that had come to repair a search helicopter.
The repair helicopter was flying back to Eagle when the crew on board
spotted Morris and Melloni around a campfire waving their arms. The
helicopter landed and airlifted the two to Eagle Regional Airport

Don't punish good snowmobile
Users
We live in the Midwest to enjoy the great outdoors, right? We live
here to enjoy the snow whether that be skiing, snowboarding
or snowmobiling. We live right on a snowmobile trail and
as a business owner and avid snowmobiler, I love the sound
of sleds going by. Why? Because that means there are people
out enjoying our weather AND they are spending money in an otherwise
slow economy. These snowmobilers are buying gas, parts, apparel,
a bite to eat at local restaurants, new sleds, etc. Instead of trying
to limit and/or eliminate the sport, why don't we celebrate it!!Read

for three snowmobilers is very Close
SUMMIT COUNTY, COLORADO – Rescue crews plan to work all night
to find three missing snowmobilers and have sent text messages to
two of them saying they are not giving up. Summit County Undersheriff
J. Derek Crews may be within 100 yards of snowmobilers. Woodman says
he believes rescue crews have been within 100 yards of two of the
snowmobilers. They have narrowed the grid down to a small location,
but have not been able to find the men. "We feel that we are
very close," said Woodman. "Visibility is not a flat
plane. It's not like looking down a city block or anything of that
nature." Woodman says he believes one of the snowmobilers
has been separated from the other two. Get

Bob Petit and Wanda
at Esterel: True Love!
Esterel Quebec: Jan 27 2008 - -Like me, and like every
other snowmobiler on the planet, Bob Petit fell hard for Wanda the
Snowmobile Hostess at Esterel. He rode 350kms over the weekend in
the Laurentians, and said the trails were amazing; "A real
white carpet, all the way, except for a few crazy new trails in St.Alphonse.
I rode a 600 Ski Doo with a long track, and never have I had such
excellent control on a snowmobile in over 40 years of riding!"
Bob spent the weekend at L'Esterel, and got the star treatment from
Wanda and her crew. Speaking of St Alphonse, why not go next weekend
to meet Bob, he'll be there along with over 600 antique and classic
snowmobiles. Bob is our Quebec Ambassador of sledding. He would love
to meet you all!

Sledders make mess
of ski trails Snowmobilers asked to use own Trails
Owen Sound Ontario: Letter to the editor. Before
Christmas, two snowmobilers blatantly ignored the "No snowmobiles
please" sign and sped through the trails at the Massie ski hills,
blowing snow from the hollows, leaving none to pack and banking sections
of the trail which makes the passing of the groomer more difficult.
We put it down to ignorance. Surely it wouldn't happen once they realized
it was a groomed and maintained trail. It was ignorance! They did
it again recently, this time after considerable work had been done
on the trail. On the Saturday it took over two hours to pack the trail
and on the Sunday the groomer was out for nearly three hours. Read

Five simple rules for
ATV and Snowmobilers Saftey
Jan 25 2008; North Bay Ont: With the snowmobile season kicking
into high-gear and the rising popularity of ATV use in winter
months, Sudbury Regional Hospital and its Emergency and Trauma Programs
is reminding riders the key to avoiding injury is prevention. Snowmobiling
continues to be the leading cause of winter sport and recreational
injuries, and ATV injuries have been rising in every season, the hospital
said in a release. Among major snowmobile and ATV-related trauma cases
hospital staff treat, the overwhelming majority of those injured are
male, alcohol is a factor in over a quarter of all incidents, and
of those injuries one-sixth are fatal. Read

Jan 21 2008: Esterel Quebec - - Zen, I stayed
at Esterel this weekend and paid a visit to Wanda. She did a great
job catering to all of us snowmobilers and I must say that is was
the most accommodating place for snowmobiling that I have stayed
at in a while. I had a very nice evening, she had a singer and I
even sang a song for the American boys up from Boston, they thought
I was good. They did not like the fact that I drove Ski-Doo product,
and were preaching about Yamaha, not even their own brands! The
trails were 9 on 10, in the Laurentians. We did 500 km in a couple
of days, we went north to Saint Donat and made a loop back through
the park and on
Sunday we went to Rawdon and back up. Thanks Pat G. Click

Tree Huggers continue trying to
close Trails in Quebec Parks
Avid snowmobiler Daniel Breton says he has no lessons to learn about
nature from environmental groups who last week called for snow-mobiles
to be banished from provincial parks by 2009. Breton is concerned
that the Quebec government is about to crack down hard on his favourite
sport, pushing snow- mobilers out of places like Oka Park and Mont
Tremblant. He says some of the park trails are key connectors in
Quebec's 33,500-kilometre network of marked snowmobile trails, and
moving them out of the parks is not a simple exercise. Get

Grounds
Jan 21 2008 - - WEST YELLOWSTONE - This small
town in southwestern Montana is special for Tucker Hibbert. It was
the first place he strapped on a helmet and tightened up the gloves
for a snowmobile race. Tucker Hibbert catches air while competing
in a heat at the West Yellowstone Jack Links Snocross nationals,
Saturday. Hibbert started his racing career in West Yellowstone
at the age of 9. That was when he was 9 years old, and to say a

Jan 19 2008 - - Cokato Minnesota: Below zero,
time to break out the 'ol snowmobile. In Cokato snowmobile enthusiasts
take a spin, back in time. With a slight breeze on a Saturday morning.
It feels a little bit cooler than the three below reading on the
first national bank sign. But the bitter cold is not enough to keep
the old Ford from turning over. "they were used mainly by
the mailman, but also when the doctor couldn't get out, it would
carry the doctor too, it was just a fun vehicle to have,"
said snowmobile enthusiast Susan Keskey. One of the refurbished
Model-T's was Cokato postmaster Carl Peikert's. He drove it before
mail carriers used sidewalks or streets were plowed on a regular
basis. Besides the snowmobile, the old dairy truck is the only vehicle
that helped clear the roads. The Ford Model T's with the skis would

Two Snowmobiles Through The Ice
Jan 19 2008: Sudbury Ontario - - Snowmobilers yet again…being
warned to stay off the ice. Greater Sudbury Police are investigating
after a report earlier this afternoon about two snowmobiles going
through the ice on Lake Wahnapitae. Police remind the public that
the trails are closed and the lakes simply aren’t safe. In
this case…both operators got out safely and made their way
to the Sportsman Lodge on Kukagami Lake Road. Police are still looking
for the identity of the two…but they believe they are Americans.
It’s not known if charges will be laid.
Snowmobile Safety Week in New York State "Now that the snowmobiling season has started
here in New York, the safety committee
of NYSSA would like each club to remember a few things. NYSSA belongs
to a program called Safe Riders! You make snowmobiling Safe, which
is a safety campaign that is trying to bring safe snowmobiling practices,
training and enforcement to a new level.
Along with the snowmobile safety course each year
we have International Snowmobile Safety Week. This year safety week
is January 13-19, 2008. NYSSA is asking each club to take some time
during this week to remind your members about snowmobile safety.
Be it at a meeting, a hot dog roast out on the trail, a letter to
the local newspaper that explains snowmobile safety or anything
else that the club can come up with. If you do have some type of
safety awarness program, we would also like to have some pictures
of safety related programs that you do during the week. Just send
them to the NYSSA office via email or regular mail. Please put them
in C/O safety committee.
Snowmobiling accidents and fatalities have continued
to decline over the past several years. The Safe Riders! Campaign
highlights key issues of importance for snowmobile safety. The position
statements are concise and easy to understand. They include:
1. Snowmobiling and Alcohol don't mix - don't drink
and ride
2. When night riding slow down - expect the unexpected
3. Know before you go - always check local ice conditions
4. Cross all roads with care - don't become road-kill
5. One is the loneliest number - never ride alone
6. Know the risks and be prepared - make every trip a round trip
7. Ride smart ride right - stay in control
8. Smart Riders are Safe Riders - always take snowmobile safety
training
For more information on snowmobile safety, posters,
DVD’s on safety, public service announcements and many more.
Please visit www.snowmobile.org . Respectfully,
NYSSA Safety Committee
Please get this out to all your members
Due to the recent number of fatalities already this season, snowmobilers
need to remember that their life and others depend on everyone’s
actions.
