News from Women on Snow

TTT The 2008 Women on Water event was open to all participants, not only those who went on the tour. They participated in the Northwoods Relay for Life as the Women on Snow Walkers and nearly met their goal of raising $5000 for the American Cancer Society. The following day they entered the Milk Jug Regatta at Slo’s Pub with a vessel christened “Got Jugs?” -- winning first place.

TTT One hundred-two women attended the 23rd annual Women on Snow weekend, seventeen of whom were “friendly new girls.” We hope you’ll all come back.

TTT Our Pirate Party had the best costumes ever—you gals went way overboard—they were first rate!

TTT Women on Snow made donations to the clubs responsible for grooming the trails we rode on all weekend. They did a great job all season with the little snow we had in the Northwoods. The clubs are SnoEagles, Eagle River ; Conover SnoBuddies; St. Germain Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club; Phelps Snowmobile Club; Three Lakes Snowmobile Club; Sugar Camp Snowmobile Club; and the Frosty Club of Land O’Lakes.

TTT We missed having WOS Tour 2009. It was cancelled due to low registrations. Several of the WOS regulars stayed the week after to ride and braved the sub-zero temperatures. BRRRRR.

TTT A big thank you goes out to Rita Levine and Amy Merkel who run the support vehicle. They sure had their work cut out for them with the frigid temperatures. Not only were the sleds hard to start on Saturday, the truck needed a little extra power, too, to get going.

TTT Bev Dittmar, Green Group Leader, won a Ski-Doo snowmobile in the Take Pride and Ride Raffle sponsored by local radio station, WRJO. Congratulations!

TTT Encouraging a network of women who snowmobile or who aspire to snowmobile is part of the mission of Women on Snow, and we applaud our neighbors to the north who launched Michigan Women on Snow (MiWOS) this year. Their weekend event was held in St. Ignace on February 27, 28, and March 1. Their 2010 event will be February 12th to 14th.
