Thank you everyone for another successful season! See you in November
Wildfire activity has everyone making difficult decisions, and one of ours was ensuring our PistenBully PB 400 was moved out of the Prospect area before the fire arrived.
A huge thank you to Tibar for stepping up and helping move the groomer to safety. We also want to recognize Mat, Ryan, and Simon for coordinating and getting the unit relocated to a safer location before conditions worsened.
A special thank you goes to Tom Agar with the Ministry of Transportation for allowing us to park the groomer in one of their pits while the wildfire situation continues.
We would also like to thank Emcon Services for providing the use of their pilot truck, which helped make the move possible.
It takes great partners and dedicated volunteers working together to protect the equipment that helps make our trail system possible. We are incredibly grateful for everyone’s support and willingness to help when it mattered most.

A Community Effort to Protect the Honeymoon Shelter
The Merritt Snowmobile Club and local winter recreation community have been watching closely as the Brunswick Complex wildfire moved into the Honeymoon area, putting one of our most treasured backcountry shelters at risk.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of BC Wildfire Service crews, the Honeymoon shelter was FireSmarted and protected ahead of the fire’s arrival. Crews cleared vegetation around the cabin, added ember protection, and helped give this important emergency shelter the best chance of making it through.
This shelter is more than just a place to stop on a winter ride. Built by dedicated volunteers in 1999, it has become a gathering place, a safe haven, and an important emergency resource in the backcountry.
A huge thank you to BC Wildfire Service, Recreation staff, volunteers, and everyone who helped protect the places that mean so much to our community.
A special thank you to Morgan Hampton from the Merritt Herald for taking the time to tell this story and share the importance of the Honeymoon shelter with the community. It means a lot to see the efforts of volunteers, crews, and everyone involved recognized in our local newspaper.
We are grateful to report that the Honeymoon shelter remains standing and protected.
