A fundraiser for snowbike groomers will be held at the Boggy Draw trailhead at 10 a.m. Sunday.
This year, the Southwest Colorado Cycling Association and the San Juan National Forest partnered up to create 16 miles of snowbiking trails along the Boggy Draw road network.
The Forest Service issued the permit, but all the grooming was done by volunteers, said Scott Darling, co-owner of Kokopelli Bike and Board.
“A core group of volunteers donated their time, fuel and snowmobiles to groom the trails, and we wanted to help set up a fund to cover those costs,” he said.
The event starts with feature group rides, a chile feast, beverages, snowbiking contests and a raffle.
Contests include a wheelie competition, best skidder and a short biathlon. Custom-made snowbiking grooming equipment made by Gregory and Gostlin will be on display as well.
The main snowbike trails begin at the parking lot. Follow the Boggy Draw road for two miles then veer to the right. After another two miles, a longer loop veers left. Or stay on the trail for another two miles back to the parking lot.
“We will get the trails in the best shape we can on Saturday night to get ready for this fun event,” said Ken Fagerlin of Kokopelli Bike and Board.
