Visitors from all over Michigan and the Midwest head to the Western UP to take part in the snowmobile experience, but none of this would happen without the tireless work that goes on 12 months a year – an effort that is taken on by local area grooming clubs. In the off season, groomers are out clearing and brushing trails. During the winter season groomers are out day and night battling equipment issues, mother nature, and high volumes of traffic – all in an effort to help maintain a trail system that helps create good times and great memories.
Come on out and show your support for these local area businesses which are helping to raise money for local grooming clubs and the sport of snowmobiling! For more information, visit www.ajslodgeandoven.com and follow them on facebook!
