Dear Kids and Families,
It absolutely breaks my heart to share that we have made the very difficult decision to cancel this year's Kids Ride.
We were so hopeful that we would be able to pull it off this year. Today, our Club President went up to check on the snowpack - and unfortunately, there simply isn't one. The few inches of snow we've been getting overnight and in the early morning have been melting off by the afternoon. In order to protect the road and avoid causing damage, we needed at least 6 inches of solid snow coverage to safely hold the event and to help keep the sleds cool. As of today, there is still pavement showing, and the forecast does not indicate that we will be able to get - or maintain - that necessary 6 inches.
After careful discussion with our President and Vice President, we have decided to roll over all sponsorships and donations to the 2027 Kids Ride. We are incredibly grateful for your support, generosity, and enthusiasm this year.
I was so excited to make this another EPIC day on the snow for our kids and families, and my family and I share in your disappointment. Please know this decision was made with the satety of our kids, the impact on the snowmobiles, and the potential damage to the road in mind.
Thank you for your understanding, continued support, and commitment to making this event so special. We can't wait to come back even stronger in 2027.
With Love & Appreciation,
Audeena & Jeff Smith
