The Grant County Snowballers club was formed in the late ‘60s
primarily as a “racing” club. In fact, one of the original members, John
Saunders, from Seneca, and now in his nineties participated in a
race a year ago! We are a Grant County based club representing
about 70 families in the area. We can be reached through our
website, grantcountysnowballers.com, or at PO Box 337, John
Day, Or., 97845.
This year our president is Tim R. Holly and the vice president is
Garrett Carniglia. Bill Prophet is our grooming chairman. Our director
at large for our district of the Oregon Snowmobile Association is Dave
Hannibal.
Our club has two grooming machines and we have more miles of
groomed trails here in the county than any other county in the
country! We have a great team of volunteer drivers that keep the
trails open and safe for all the folks that like to experience our
beautiful country during snow season.
Our primary mission is to provide training for new snowmobilers in
the safe operation of their sleds, have fun activities for the group and
provide a place to ride.
