January 2010 issue of the Iowa Snowmobiler online Late production of the January issue of the Iowa Snowmobiler has led to the first-ever online distribution of the magazine. ISSA members will still get the magazine delivered to their homes, but the ISSA is making this issue available online to provide its readers with ample opportunity to learn about the time-sensitive material enclosed. Adobe is reader is required to view the edition online.

At their Jan. 9 regular board meeting, ISSA Region Directors reported
“level-full” ditches of snow and grooming operations in full swing across
the state. Above, the Saylorville Dam Pisten Bully smooths the trail west
of Huxley.

ISSA Coordinating Legislative, Introductory
Snowmobile Rides Across Iowa
       The ISSA is coordinating five legislative and introductory rides
across Iowa on consecutive Saturdays in January and February.
       The statewide effort was made possible by a $3,500 grant from
ISMA to purchase winter gear for those participants who are new to the
sport to borrow for an afternoon’s ride on a multi-purpose trail.
       “Realizing that most want-to-be snowmobiliers don’t have the
proper equipment, we have purchased 15 sets of clothing including
jackets, bibs, gloves and helmets in various sizes for their use,” explained
ISSA Vice President Gary Burger. “For sleds, we will be working with the
dealers in each of the areas as well as local club members to participate by
lending us a sled  for these short rides.”
       See page 6 of the online edition of the January issue of the Iowa Snowmobiler for
