Scholarship

The Dauphin and District Snowmobile Club is pleased to have the opportunity to provide a $1000 (possibly 2x$500) scholarship in recognition of the hard work and dedication demonstrated by youth in their snowmobile clubs and their communities.  This 2026 scholarship is in memory of Kayson Campbell.
This award will recognize students who take part in, and promote, snowmobiling and/or other powersports and who are involved in volunteerism to make a positive contribution to their community.  This scholarship will be open to graduates within the Dauphin and District Snowmobile Club trail system.
The total amount of the award will be $1000.  We were planning to award this amount to one student, however, we may consider splitting it into two awards if there are two very qualified students.
For more information and deadline please contact your school administration.

Vandalism at DDSC Warm-up Shelter:

The Dauphin & District Snowmobile Club is run by volunteers who spend hours & hours grooming trails, putting up signage, maintaining our warm up shelters, getting supplies of wood, hosting monthly meeting thru out our season, fundraising and volunteering & sponsoring many community events.

On Thursday, April 9, 2026 our Winnipegosis warm up shelter was vandalized and several of our trail sign were run over & some broken. The door was kicked open (which is always left unlocked), indoor signs were burned, inside wood supply burned, candles melted & wax spread inside & outside on deck, empty beer cans left scattered all over, door frame smashed to several pieces & scattered and a mess left.

Our Club is trying to promote safe snowmobiling & welcomes young & old to join. To ride our provincials groomed trails you have to purchase a snow pass, which ensures safe trails that are clearly marked as well as coverage under our insurance.

Our volunteer groomers spend hours & hours grooming the trails, other volunteers spend hours & hours putting up signage which provides safe trails & taking down signs end of season. This process is both costly & time consuming.

We are a member of Snoman which was formed in 1975 to promote outdoor healthy activities for snowmobilers with over 12,000 kms of safe designated trails that connect small communities & creates economic development by snowmobilers staying in hotels/motels, purchase MPI, gas, meals, clothing, groceries etc.

When the signage was driven over, knocked over & broken, this creates a safety issue, not to mention cost issue. Signs were destroyed from Dauphin to Winnipegosis to Ethelbert. What an unnecessary waste & safety risk.

There is a fine if caught on groomed trails with no snow pass.

This incident was reported to local RCMP & any information can get reported to them at 204 656 7003 & will be greatly appreciated.

Important notification:

All our trails are closed as of today, Monday April 6st, 2026, due to the deterioration of the snow and the accumulation of water in the ditches.
Thank you very much for the great season of 2025/26.

Wiener Roast

We had a wonderful day at Del & Bev’s wiener roast on Saturday, March 28, 2026. The weather was mild and the snow conditions were perfect. We had a lot of fun on the trails.
Thank you very much, Del & Bev, for the great food and all the work you did!

Trail Condition:

The Groomers are out on March 26st and 27st of 2026 and the trails with the fresh snow are in excellent condition.

We like to take the opportunity to remind you that the RMs and the Department for Transportation and Infrastructure are cleaning out the ditches and the culverts for the upcoming spring run-off. The RMs and the Department for Transportation are aware of our trails but please still use extra caution in those areas.

We wish you an enjoyable weekend on the trail.

Notice:
It is this time of the year when municipalities open up the ditches in some areas to improve the spring run-off.
This can cause some interference or even damage to our snow trails. We like to encourage you to use extra caution while using our trail system.

Historical Trail Opening

The trail #571 from Winnipegosis to Waterhen was opened on February 4, 2026 for the first time - ever. It took several years of preparation, many hurdles to jump, a lot of challenges to take on and countless hours of labour from our volunteers. This is the newest extension to the Dauphin and District Snowmobile Club and we proudly acknowledge that 69.6 km were added to our trails system. We like to take the opportunity to say

Thank You Very Very Much
