Online Training

New for this season, Snowmobile North Dakota is offering online trail signing and trail grubbing training.  The training can be found at http://snowmobilend.org/grooming-guidelines/.  Both trainings offer the same information presented at the annual conventions.  At the end of the online presentation is a short quiz to verify your certification.  Please contact the office if you have any questions and input on the new training program.  We hope this new feature helps all of the trail associations and snowmobile clubs train volunteers in the future.
