ATTENTION ATV’ERS AND SNOWMOBILERS APRIL 3, 2019

GATES ARE CLOSED ON AFM LANDS, NO RIDING UNTIL THEY ARE RE-OPENED IN THE SPRING.

Welcome to the Airline Riders Snowmobile Club site. We are located on Rte. 9 in the Beddington area, and meet every second Saturday of the month at the town office building on Rte 193 at 6 pm. Everyone is welcome. The club was started way back in 1987 and had a few slow years before getting back in action after the purchase of the snack bar by Frank and Maryann Janusz. Newer grooming equipment was acquired and several members took part in the official state groomer operator licensing program.
Snow has been a little scarce so far, but we are hoping for more as the season progresses. Our trails are not really ready yet for riding, only a few small areas had enough to ride on last week, and with the recent rain (again) they won’t be trail worthy.
There were quite a few trees down in the trails. We think we got them all out. Rremember to use caution going around corners where you can’t see what’s ahead, and ALWAYS remember not to drink and drive, and maintain a safe speed. Better to see the scenery than become part of it! You should always make sure someone knows where you are planning on going and your expected return time in case you run into trouble. Use caution when approaching wildlife, and DO NOT HARASS them. The wardens take a dim view of that, and it can be dangerous as well.
New members receive a map of trails put together by local clubs and the information is as up to date as they can make it. You also receive membership in the state wide MSA, Maine Snowmobile Association, they have a wealth of information on their website. AFM, the property owner for most of our trails frequently has active logging in the woods, so please watch for signs and stay on marked trails. If you come upon equipment working, remember they always have the right of way, and make sure the operator sees you before you attempt to pass by. For trail information, you can call Pete at 460-4474 or Frank at 454-8133, Maryann at 546-1178. Pete email: poorsway@gmail.com
Stop by if you can for a meeting, we’d be happy to see you.
Ride safely and be considerate of others. Be sure to dress for the weather, and bring extra essentials like warm clothing, snacks and gas. Its always a good idea to be prepared for that “just in case!”

We met earlier this summer when I stopped by to inquire about the ATV club membership. We have a camp on Lower Green Lake that has been in our family for three generations, and we know the Airline Snack Bar very well, as it is the last oasis before heading into camp.

Our camp is currently owned by my 2 sisters families and myself. I've moved to Vermont after growing up in Blue Hill but my sisters are still in Maine.

While we don't have ATV's , the reason we're contributing is that I know that the club participates in the maintenance of some of the roads that we drive on to get into our camp. In particular 31-18-0, 31-22-0 and 35-00-0. We've appreciated the work on these roads over the years as it is definitely tough on vehicles getting to the camp.

Please put us on your email list as we'd like to be a yearly contributor."
