Nov. 21, 2012 - General Membership meeting notes

#1 Post by hvhavel »

Treasurer’s report: $650 in checking
$2984 in savings
$1254 in lifetime membership savings.

Tom Hancock could not make it due to an emergency. He should be able to make it next month.

100 mil loop update: Larry Morris is working with the Borough on a 150k grant for Rosie creek area trail reroute. This would include everything including survey and all actual trail work. The idea is for Snowtravelers to manage project. This grant request didn't get funded last year.

The Alaska Trappers Association invites all snow-go riders to their monthly meeting on December 4 at the Mushers Hall. The featured presentation, “Snow-Machines and Water Don’t Mix.” will start at approx 7:45PM and will address such topics as:
* How to “read” river and lake ice to avoid problems
* How to extract a snowmachine stuck in overflow
* The first five things to do to a submerged snow-go after it has been extracted from the water.

First ride canceled due to low snow.

About 30 people showed up to the Avalanche training sponsored by NAOI and Compeau's. There may be another training session offered in March.

SnowTRAC Committee has a new member from Fairbanks - Adam Baxter.

This General Membership meeting survey is about ramps. We currently have ramps at Angel Creek and at Cleary Summit.
Last month’s survey was about where / what type of riding is preferred and top answers were boondocking and trail riding. The favorite area for riding was “new”.
At the last meeting 27 members attended.

The next General Membership meeting on December 19th is at the Carquest off of Skeeter Drive.

Nomination reminder for SnowTravelers Board! Voting is in January.

Church trail update: Another hearing for November 16th was scheduled. It was expected that there will be some sort of settlement before then. (no further update during the meeting.)

Ester area trails update: The borough taking lead on the Ester area trail obstructions.

Someone asked if the Chena Hot Springs area trails that were sold to Bernie Karl have been blocked. Larry Morris will follow up and ask around for more information.

General Membership Meeting Drawing: Steve Enochs won a nice snow shovel.
