Stoney Keppel President stepping down

Sadly our President Randy Walker has decided to step down from the club. On behalf of all members of Stoney Keppel Riders and all the snowmobilers that have enjoyed the trails in our area, we would like to thank Randy Walker for his thankless years of hard work with our club and the ofsc. Most people that enjoy our sport have no idea the amount of work a person like Randy puts in over the years to keep things running smoothly at the club and district level. Your knowledge and dedication are going to missed around here, but thanks for everything you have done.

Mark O’Leary- Treasurer -Stoney Keppel Riders & Brent Barfoot – Vice President Stoney Keppel Riders

Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday to 1997 when SKR members assisted the MNR with towing a lake lung onto Chesley Lake for fisheries enhancement. I know Mike Morton is somewhere in the photo, any idea who else is there?

Meeting

Meeting tomorrow night (Tuesday, April 4th) at 7pm. Location is the SKR Shack behind Penn Auto.

Closed….+13 in February!

Stoney Keppel trails are closed…this isn’t how I saw February going either.

Due to serious concerns regarding rider safety and property damage the Stoney Keppel Riders are forced to close their trails.

Snow bridges are collapsing, more and more rocks are becoming exposed and the trail condition has deteriorated drastically.

Please respect the landowners and stay off until we can regroup and re-open.

Trails looking great & SKR Groomer is back in action!

Thanks to all involved, our Kubota is back in operation. Thank you to the groomer team for shifting machines around over the last two weeks.

Gorgeous trails in Stoney Keppel today! #ofsc #district9 #snowmobile

Open-limited

We are open limited as of yesterday afternoon. Matt sent some photos in today to give a heads up about what to expect out there in the wetter areas. These photos are of the B trail in 2013 but he says we are pretty much the same water wise now. We don’t have the skid bridge this year though. Hoping for some colder temps!!

In 2013 volunteers built the bridge, Dave McNabb supplied the skids.

Grooming

We are planning on commencing grooming on Friday January 6th weather permitting. We have received a great deal of moisture in a short period of time and hopefully the mess will start to freeze by the weekend. Standby for more.
