The Jackpine Savage's didn't really start out as a snowmobile club.  It was just a group of people that got together as often as they could and went out riding their Ski-Doo Elan's.
(Tim Fay "Foolhen Ridge" Feb. '97)
Many of these people had their Elan's long tracked and a few of our members still have them and go on excursions, to the places where even today's modern "Mountain Machine's" could never make it.
 
 
 
 
 
 

(Karl Jensen, Tim Fay, & Jean Carter , Dec '84 or Jan "85)
They wind through, narrow trees and across steep side hills, and some of these folks have even been know to cut down a tree and use it to cross a gully, that would otherwise be un-passable.

It takes alot of practice and a very narrow sled to get across this trail...Jens shows us how it's done.
