Trail Clean up 8-22-2009

Please join us for a great opportunity to see your trail system during the summer months.  A lot of the trail system is non-motorized, this will give you the chance to see it without snow.  We will be leaving in the morning of the 22nd (time to be determined) on ATV and motorcycles to go up 4-mile and Marion trails, this is with a special use permit from the forest service.  This will consist of taking chainsaws and misc. items to make sure our winter trail system is cleaned up from any dead fall.  Please call Sean for more details!!  970-379-6927 or 970-704-9893

Ladies Ride and Clinics 2008-2009 Season
Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, and Grand Mesa areas


 Kristy Martin is doing these rides and clinics to help gain interest in the snowmobiling industry at no charge.  Many women are getting into riding and enjoying themselves, but maybe you don't feel comfortable riding and practicing with the boys.  Are you not going as much as you would enjoy?  Here is the chance to learn from the basics of riding, learning to carve, side hill, climb hills, powder riding, technical tree riding, following maps, safety skills and to survive outdoors including what you may need for overnight, along with many other items.   I have many years of snowmobile experience, and I feel grateful to be able to have the confidence to share with others helping them gain the confidence in riding and acquire new riding skills.  I am available most weekends and some during the week, I would be willing to come to YOUR house, with-in reason, to pick you and your snowmobile up.  We then would drive to the trail head and off we go!!  I would like to have at least 2 others to go with on these rides. I will have with me, my safety gear, food, water, sled/sleds, 2 way radios.  You will need to have your own food, water, safety gear, and snowmobile.  I do not drink while riding nor will I allow alcohol on these rides, if you want a drink after the ride not a problem, but not until we are completely done. Also, I would like you to know how to change your own belt before we leave, as all of the snowmobiles have there own tricks.  You may not have the strength to do this but at least you should know how to do it.  We will have a schedule we would need to stick to for safety reasons.  This is not a guide service, and I am out here to teach safe riding and skills, I am not responsible for damages done while out on these rides.  We all assume our own responsibility for any damages or injuries while riding.  My goal is to teach safety to the best of my ability and for all of us to return to the truck un-injured.  Please take riding serious and be responsible.  I hope to meet and ride with a great group of ladies!!!  

If you are interested, please send me a e-mail at kristy@kristy-martin.com or call me at 970-379-7519
