Well for sure we will have less grooming this year, All the grooming programs got about the same money as the last few years, only problem is they also got hourly raises to compensate for fuel, insurance, cost of living increases ect. Basically if they groom according to a good , well thought out schedule they can make it the entire season. We just wont have the frequency we've had in the past, They just need to figure out how to cut about 2 weeks worth of grooming thru out the season, a day or 2 here and there. Just depends on how much snow we get ect. Should be an interesting year. One thing for sure folks, wether you like it or not, where you believe it or not, we need to desperately raise our snowmobile license fee's, thats the only way to put more money in our program. I've been involved in the grooming stuff for a long long time. I've heard all the complaints about the groomers, some legitamate, some totaly false and misleading. What we buy today cost a whole lot less 5 years ago, nobody can deny that. It's the cold hard facts. Our program stands alone, we get no money from the state other than our fuel tax money and a large portion of our sled registrations. We operate on basically the same money we have been gettng for years, it just doesnt go as far anymore. Ok, enough, I'll get off my soap box. I love this sport and the people in it. That why I keep working on it. think snow ,,,dan
