With winter setting in, snowmobile enthusiasts across Maine are gearing up for another season on the trails. The Maine Snowmobile Association has announced that the statewide trail system officially opens Dec. 15, though riders with private property can get an early start. The association boasts roughly 15,000 members, mostly Maine residents, with growing numbers from out-of-state riders. Volunteers keep the network running smoothly across 285 snowmobile clubs statewide. New this year, the snowmobiling association also offers a mobile app available on Android and Apple devices that provides turn-by-turn navigation, offline maps, custom route building, points of interest and live trail status updates.
