A nomination from the Thompson Trailbreakers has given the Kelsey Generating Station an award.
A few weeks ago the Snowmobilers of Manitoba held its 5th annual Snoman Congress, where the Kelsey Generating Station got an excellence award in outstanding support by a non-snowmobile business.
President of the Thompson Trailbreakers Kelly Martens says the station has helped them out:
"We have a designated trail there now. You can go there, if you phone ahead make arrangements, you can get food and fuel. It’s a good day, easy day ride. They’ve been really good to us, as a club, helping us out with the trail and stuff so they got recognized".
As for the upcoming season, Martens says they’re hoping to get most of the trails open by the end of December.
New for snowmobilers this year is a bright orange license plate. Martens says it’ll make it easier to spot those who are riding illegally:
"It’s a new plate that’ll be easily recognizable. If you purchase a snopass then you get this bright orange plate, so it’ll be easy for the enforcement to see if you’re current with your registration and snopass".
The club also has their events set for the year. On February 14th they will be hosting a Sweathearts Poker Derby, and on March 6th they have their Ride for Dad Cancer Awareness Ride. Currently they're raffling off a snowmobile.
