Never Lost Snowmobile Map Creston
NEVER LOST CRESTON 16/17 is now available on Itunes and Google Play Store. We worked hard with Allan Bouchard last week to help him develop an APP that helps you know where you are.. what's around you and how to find areas to ride if you're new to the area or have friends visiting wanting to snowmobile. We have terrain ratings and suggestions included. While Cellphones can interfere with a transceiver signal, this app once downloaded allows you to flip it to airplane mode so as not to interfere with your avalanche transceiver! Cell service is not required to utilize the ap when you're out in the back country. Here are the direct links on Itunes and google play! Thank you again Allan and Never Lost Snowmobile Trails!

New Land Closures
A reminder to everyone. We have New closures in place. Bayonne/Arkansas Lake, and Placer Lake are all closed. We are working hard to reverse these closures, but your compliance is a must. Don't let one person ruin it for everyone. Thank you. Trish Drinkle
