Paudash Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club has just over 300 km of amazing trails extending from Gooderham to near Bancroft and from just north of Apsley to the south end of Algonquin Park.
Our trails connect to other great trails going in every direction.
There are services available through our club area (gas, food snowmobile dealers and accommodation) so you can be assured of an enjoyable ride no matter where you go.
Watch for club events like the cookout during the sledding season as well, where you can enjoy a BBQ’d delight and a drink.
Trails Update Saturday January 17, Cookout Merchandise
The grooming team has done great work since the warm-up and rain to get trails back into shape. We have fixed numerous wet holes and re-opened almost all trails (and more) that were open beforehand. The team is still working to get the remaining trails groomed and ready to ride. We have had a number of questions regarding specific trails and we can't respond to all of them. We are getting to everything when we can and always update the ITG as soon as we are confident that the trail meets the criteria for safety and rideability.
Note that we are working on a re-route on E110 and will update the ITG and post here when that is completed.
Groomers were running well for a while but we've got some problems right now, most of which should be fixed today. We know our neighbouring clubs are having some challenges as well. Fingers crossed that everybody gets back to full strength shortly. There really not enough buffer within the fleet for problems.
We have had a number of people ask about the merchandise at the cookout. Pricing is as follows:
- ball caps $25 or 2 for $45,
- long-sleeved t-shirts are $40 or 2 for $70,
- hoodies are $65 or 2 for $120, and
- toques (new this year) are $30 or 2 for $55.
We will have lots of sizes so you can try them on to get the right one.
We hope to have great weather and a good turnout. See you there.

Paudash Trail Blazers Cookout - Saturday February 7th
Our annual cookout is scheduled for Saturday February 7th from noon to 3pm at the Clubhouse. We will have burgers and hot dogs, soft drinks, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. This annual event is a popular one with club members. We won't be charging for food and drinks but will gratefully accept donations.
We are also happy to announce that we are again going to be selling swag! We have Paudash-branded ball caps (black and pink), hoodies and t-shirts for sale in different sizes. New this year, we also have toques with the Paudash logo on them. Cash only, we can't take credit or debit....
As always, we are going to be running a 50/50 draw and other draws for prizes, including a chainsaw (donated by Lynn Barkey). If you cannot attend and wish to purchase a ticket for the chainsaw draw or make a donation, you may send an e-transfer to ptbscd2@gmail.com (1 for $10 or 3 for $25) until Friday February 6th with "Chainsaw" and your email address in the comment field and we will reply back with your ticket number(s).
Bring your friends and kids, have something to eat, chat with friends, see a groomer up close, talk to a groomer operator or one of the club's Committee members. There will be lots of us there if you have questions or are interested in getting more involved.

We are pleased to tell you that Tom and Debb Alexander have made a significant cash donation to the club, something that they have done in the past.
We appreciate the support shown by volunteers and donors like Tom and Debb as we work to make the trails they best that they can be.

Trails Update - Tuesday January 13
We have managed to get out on trails to assess the damage (and fix it, in many cases) and you will see that we have made trails again available on the ITG.
It has been challenging in a few spots, where the rain and warm weather raised water levels to the point where trails were under a fair bit of water in low spots. We had to build (or re-build) brush bridges to make them passable again. Groomer operators and volunteers have also removed a lot of trees that came down in the wind storm.
Groomers have been rolling and all are scheduled to run pretty much every day, as long as it stays cold and there is snow to work with.
We are also happy to report that the OFSC approval we were waiting for has come through and we now have our 606 trail connection between Tory Hill and Gooderham. This trail now appears on the ITG. As soon as we can, we will change its colour but Billings Lake needs to be staked before we can do that.
Remember, this is early season riding and you should ride accordingly.
