First on the docket today: we have a new column from one of our Community Contributors.

Snowmobiling may be on the decline, but for Jen Shaw, it’s a sport tied to freedom, family, and the beauty of Grey-Bruce winters.

From trail rides on crisp, snow-covered mornings to memories of warm-up breaks at volunteer-run clubhouses, Jen reflects on why she’ll always have a soft spot for the snow-laden trails—even as the future of the sport grows uncertain.
