The Whitecourt Trailblazers Snowmobile Club is a not-for-profit
group registered under the Societies Act in Alberta founded
in 1979. The Club will be celebrating it’s 30th Anniversary in
2009.
As the largest Member Club of the Alberta Snowmobile
Association (ASA), the Trailblazers are made up of a group of
300 members who donate their time to promote the sport of
organized snowmobiling in Alberta.
Whitecourt is the official “Snowmobile Capital of Alberta”.
The Trailblazers Club currently maintains 323 kms of trail system
in the Whitecourt area, including portions of the Trans-Canada
Trail System and the Golden Triangle Trail System.
In 2003, the Club worked with business and provincial and local governments
to purchase a reconditioned snow-cat and trail groomer drag in
order to better maintain the snowmobile trail system.
The Club works closely with local municipal governments, the
local Chamber of Commerce and business on an ongoing basis
to help promote the area as a “winter tourism destination”.
Each year the Club hosts a Snowmobile Rally to promote the
sport and to encourage Albertans to get outside and enjoy the
wonders of winter. The rally is the most successful of its kind
in Western Canada, and for the past two seasons has been
attended by more than 750 riders each year.
