PROFILES
Morton & Hilda Duff
The Duff's have been members of the Rogue Snowmobilers for about 12 years. They live in Grants Pass and have very busy schedules so they find it very difficult to make it to Saturday events or club meetings. Like most of us, age has changed their riding style to a less aggressive form of riding but they still like to get out into the powder.
This picture was taken by friends that Morton and Hilda took snowmobiling about 2 ½ years ago. These friends had so much fun that they now own their own machines.
The Nering's
Meet the Nering Family. Kevin and Marcia have been snowmobiling for five year and have been members of the club for three. They own Northwest Homes and Landscape, LLC which constructs family homes and also handles home remodels.
Daniel, who is now 2 ½, began snowmobiling last year and totally loves it. He practices every other day but doesn't quite understand why he can't go yet. But he does understand how to do the snow dance! Daniel was our first chest protector winner and looks forward to using it as he is pretty sure he is going to be riding mom's 800 by himself. Good luck mom and dad explaining how that won't work!!
The Nering's like to snowmobile at Thousand Springs when they have time to spend the night in the mountains or up to Lake of the Woods for those quick trips. They love to go to California to Deer Park when there is enough snow. They enjoy riding with fellow Rogue Snowmobile members, Jon, Angel and Tyler McCauley.

GROOMERS
As the end of our club season draws near, we want to take this opportunity to show our appreciation and thanks to our groomers for all their hard work. They spent endless volunteer hours in those CAT's giving us the best trails possible to ride or to get to our favorite riding spots. This year they had to battle road closures, broken down CATs and too much snow (is there really such a thing as too much??) to keep the trails open. Below are the names of the volunteers from the Rogue Snowmobilers, the Klamath Basin Snowdrifters and the Chiloquin Ridge Riders. If you run across any of these guys and gals, be sure to thank them in person!!
The Rogue Snowmobilers: Jim Gulrich-Grooming Chairman, Jon Allen, Sherry Allen, Chuck Allen, Jim Beagle, Larry Blower, Roy Blower, Scott Blower, Gene Bowling, Albert Bristow, Lee Chastain, Bill Christofferson, Ken Curtis, Mike Duda, Don Goldschmidt, Dobe Griffin, Pat Gulrich, Arlen Henderson, Dave Hoxie, Jeff Johnson, Ron Matrejean, Jack Pech, Stephen Roe, Mike Schmidt, Gary Tift, Brian Watson and John Wojtas.
Klamath Basin Snowdrifters: Scott Blower -Grooming Chairman, Ed Fenner-Assistant Grooming Chairman, Jon Allen, Jim Baumar, Dobe Griffin, Dan Riblett and Bill Roberts.
Chiloquin Ridge Riders: John Briggs-Grooming Chairman, Adrian Aaby, Gary Albery, Cathy Briggs, Dustin Giller, Ken Kraft, Jim Pinniger, Puff, Marvin Schenck and Dave Sperry.
Thank you all for another great season of snowmobling!!

ABOUT USWe are looking forward to another super season, with lots of SNOW and rides, great functions and of course the best potlucks with a wonderful group of people such as yourself!
We have one monthly meeting, the first Tuesday of each month, which will be held at D&S Harley in Phoenix at 7PM. These meetings are very informative for everyone, where we discuss and handle a variety of issues. We work very close with the Forest Service, BLM, OSSA, and the Blue Ribbon Coalition to keep OUR forests and public lands open to enjoy now and for generations to come. Your input is very important, so we hope that you can arrange your schedule to attend. We also publish a newsletter that will arrive at your mailing address about 1-2 weeks prior to the meeting.
Our efforts and interests extend into the community beyond just snowmobiling. We are very involved with the Candlelighters (children with cancer in Southern Oregon). We raise money for their organization by holding a pie auction in February and put on a great lunch at the Thousand Springs Snow Shelter and offer snowmobile rides to the children and their families. We are actively involved with Search and Rescue and participate in searches when we are called upon. We groom miles and miles of trails weekly that are used by snowmobilers as well as cross country
skiers. Our club offers safety classes for minors to be certified to ride. We also have classes instructing our members in CPR. We conduct fund raisers to help with our club functions in order to keep dues affordable for all families.
We sincerely hope to see you at the general club meetings as these are great times to meet your fellow club members and learn more about the club functions. If we don't run into you there, we look forward to seeing you at the club functions or out on the trails this year. THINK SNOW and have a wonderfully safe year of riding.
Sincerely,
The Rogue Snowmobile Officers and Board Members
