Each club is independent of the others and offers their own brand of fellowship and riding experiences. These clubs work diligently with public land agencies to ensure access and fabulous riding in their areas. The grooming clubs own and operate their own equipment to groom, mark and maintain miles of trails through central and western Colorado and hold special use permits from either the US Forest Service or BLM to operate on public lands. Many also have agreements with local municipalities and private landowners to operate on their lands. These trails are guaranteed multi-use trails encouraging winter recreationists of all kinds to use their system. Many systems support Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, dog-sledding and winter hiking/camping activities as well as snowmobiling. CSA also supports the grooming operations of Vail Pass Task Force and their efforts in providing multiple winter recreation opportunities.
