On Saturday the Pontiac Snowmobile Drivers Association held a cookout at their warmup shack in Wyman. 

President David Young said that they had been blessed with beautiful weather for a rip on the trails and hoped they would attract around 100 people to the day’s festivities. 

“We’re putting on an event here today, it’s a cookout. All our members are invited to stop in, land owners are invited to stop in, have a hamburger or hotdog and chat with everyone,” he said.

The club maintains around 340 kilometres of trail from Luskville to Kazabazua and Campbell’s Bay. Young said that they had more than 800 members registered this year. 

He added that the big dumps of snow this winter compared to years previous was a big help to their groomer operators. 

“It’s been great, a lot of snow and everybody’s happy,” he said. “It’s a lot easier to maintain the trails.”

The group will be holding a poker run on Mar. 7, concluding at Gavans Hotel in Quyon.
