The best way to describe our recent 25th anniversary celebration is -- fantastic!

"The event was an unqualified success," says Lee River Snow Rider President Brad Wall. "Ticket sales were fantastic and the evening was an unbelievable event for everyone who attended."

A highlite of the evening was a walk down memory lane by past president Barry Richardson, who presented a historic powerpoint presentation of the club's early beginnings to present day. Barry's presentation explained how the club developed from its grass roots, key builders and highlights, including the sinking of a groomer, and those infamous summer picnics.

A number of the club's past presidents were on hand, including first-ever present Alf Jarvis, whose name is associated with the warm-up hut off Hay Bay. Alf was on hand for the Silver Anniversary party. Alf's Hut is named after him. Current day members were told that Alf's Hut used to be known as 'Mickey Junction'.

Apparently, back in the early days of snowmobiling, people would place their empty liquor bottles on tree branches at that location.

"Snowmobiling certainly had a colourful past," says Wall. "The hard work and dedication from our early members has made it possible for us to enjoy great snowmobiling now. It was a lot of hard, physical work back in the mid-80s. Trails had to be broken, huts constructed and members organized. We're certainly benefiting from all their hardwork."

A new, lightweight drag has been added to our club. Thanks to Garth and Terry Bromley (in picture) from Rond’s Marine and Transcona Trailer Sales, the new piece of equipment was recently delivered to the front door of our shop.

“This will allow the club to efficiently pack the trails before the Scout and BR180 can safely get onto the trails,” explained LRSR President Brad Wall. “We’re very pleased to have this piece of equipment and our membership extends a big thanks to Garth and Terry.”

Members of the Lee River Snow Riders were busy selling raffle tickets and hotdogs at the recent Enns Brothers grand sale. Thanks to those club members who volunteered their time. It’s much appreciated. A special thanks to Darren Kalinsky for supplying the roller grill and the donation of the hot dogs and buns.

Our club offers over 200 kms of safe & secure groomed trails. A $25 Family Membership provides you with 5 newer warm up shelters each equipped with wood stove for both heating and cooking. Shelters are also stocked with split firewood. There are also many family social events planned throughout the year. We offer such events as ladies' and men's weekend get-aways, family winter wiener roasts, Valentine's Dinner, Bud, Spud and Steak night, Golf Tournament as well as a summer family picnic We also host a poker derby where everyone can attend and ride our beautiful trail system.

The trail system, shelters and events are all looked after by volunteers. Our volunteers clear and groom the trails, build, maintain and split wood for the shelters as well as organize and assist with social events. These special people give their time so that we can enjoy our favourite sport. Maintaining these trails and warmup shelters require a lot of work and we are always looking for fresh volunteers and members to help out.

Our club has two main groomers a 2003 BR180, a 2007 ASV Scout with a 7 foot mogul master drag and our newly acquired 2006 Ski Doo Expedition long track and 4 foot drag to help pack the troublesome swamps. This packing will allow snowmobilers to get out on the trails sooner.

If you’re interested in becoming a member or volunteering for our club, please visit our membership section or call anyone of the executive members to find out how.

Good Riding and hope you enjoy our trails.
