This video was sent to us by our intrepid internet researcher (known to us as Oko). I remember in the late 1960's watching the V-plows smash drifts in the Poland, Newport, and Middleville area. This is a classic demonstration of "TORQUE vs HORSEPOWER". click here: Plowing Tug Hill - 1939 style.

A few comments from over the years . . .
"Hats off to all TC members who have done such a great job maintaining trails. They are by far the best groomed and signed trails in the area. You should be very proud of your efforts."
" . . . . My favorite sign, though, was on C4i where we entered the trails of the TC Riders. It said "Welcome to the TC Riders Snowmobile Club Trails" (just over the Oneida County border). And the trail immediately became flat... Now I know who to thank! . . . . "
"Just had to drop your club a quick note. Rode your trails on Thursday, what a great experience. Grooming, signage was just great. Hats off to all of you, you set the benchmark for all others. Can’t wait to come back again."
"I just wanted to say a little about your trail system. I rode from Redfield to Boonville on Friday and your trails were some of the best trails we hit that day. I just wanted to thank your groomer operators for their efforts. The trails were very easy to follow and were all marked very well. Keep up the good work and thanks again for the great trails."
"I was wondering about your trail conditions now that there is new snow from the weekend. I'm thinking about coming up Wednesday thru Friday. A couple of years ago, I rode your trails and they were awesome."
"I have always been pleasantly surprised as to how well the TC Rider trails are maintained and remain in great shape almost any time I have been out. This was the case this past Friday as well. I thought, weather conditions considered, the TC trails were in great shape and greatly enjoyed that portion of my ride. Again, I just want to extend my sincere thanks to the volunteers that do an absolutely excellent job on the trails keeping them in great shape for many people to enjoy a great ride."
"Thanks for excellent trails throughout the season! Your club is one of the best on the hill, providing safe and enjoyable trails. I could not believe the shape/condition of 46 Corners on my Saturday ride, truly the best of the season. Thanks again for making our season fun and safe."
"Riding the hill, everyone asks me where should we go. There is only one answer to that. Stay on the South Hill. T.C. Riders period. Camden to be exact."
"Thanks for the great grooming job."
"FYI- Trail conditions very good!"
"Thanks again for another excellent year of what I call the best trails on the Hill --- Camden T.C.Riders . . . South Hill #1."
" . . . best trails were TC RIDERS. Gotta tell ya folks, these were as good I've ridden this season. . ."
"All of the trails this year are in much better shape up in Tug Hill, but yours still stand out above the rest. We are always happy to see the TC Riders signs."
"I can not imagine riding flatter trails. . ."
"Your trails are always the best, bar none."
"As usual T.C. Riders trails were in mint condition, great job and thank you. "

"You guys, gals are unreal with the way you keep your part of the trail the besssstttttt!!!"

"I would like to thank all who are involved in maintaining your trails, also our group would like to know if your club could groom the rest of the state? EXCELLENT JOB!"

"We enjoy traveling the TC Riders system because of how well the trails are maintained!"
"Almost each season I turn on at least a handful of riders to the 46 Corners area and most of them say to me... What club is this? I tell them and they say well this is my club next season."

"Great job on the trails. I went out for the first time ever this weekend and yours were the best! Glad I joined TC Riders!"
"You guys did a terrific job on your trails this past weekend."

"Rode your trails 2 weekends ago....best trails we rode all weekend AND my husbands sled was having issues, some nice people stopped to ask if everything was ok.

"Wanted to say what awesome trails you have in this area. Very well marked and well groomed. Had our best ride this season on your trails. Keep up the good work!"

"Your trails have consistently been very well maintained all season long and have BY FAR been better than any other trails in the area. . . Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to make sure that your trails were groomed to perfection and I look forward to next season where we will once again… start and end each ride."
"Just came from the north, 46 corners/Hanafin... Trails fantastic. Great job all year. Thanks."
"Thanks for a great season!! You all are the best!!"
"It is the best part of the day after getting beat up on the hill to see the tc riders brown and white sign."
