A Message from the Founder
This sport was built over decades by clubs, volunteers, and local businesses coming together to create trails, camaraderie, and sportsmanship. Over the years, riders have evolved, clubs have evolved, and technology has evolved. Somewhere along the way, the riding community has lost touch with the organizations and people who made this sport what it is today.
Today, riders struggle to find timely, trustworthy trail updates scattered across hundreds of club websites, social pages and groups, and other "less than reliable" sources. It has become increasingly difficult to plan successful trips or know where to ride with confidence.
We're fixing that.
MSC brings real-time information together from across thousands of sources—empowering riders, amplifying club voices, and supporting the local businesses that keep our sport alive. Our mission is simple: reconnect the Midwest snowmobile community. When information flows better, everyone benefits.
