Snowmobile season off to an early start

Ladies and gentlemen, start your trail groomers.
Mother Nature’s early deposit of as much as 2 feet of snow across Maine earlier this week created something the state’s $350 million snowmobile industry has prayed for since last year’s nearly disastrous winter — an early start to the sledding season.
"We don’t usually start grooming trails this time of year, usually it doesn’t happen until after Christmas, but you can bet that we’re out there now," Kenneth Michaud of Fort Kent said Wednesday.
A groomer for the Fort Kent Snowmobile Association and the Valley Snowriders Club, Michaud is among hundreds of volunteers from the 285 snowmobile clubs statewide who have begun preparing the state’s 13,500 miles of snowmobile trails for a deluge of sledders this weekend.
