Eastern Oregon is one of the most popular winter
recreation destinations in the Northwest!
Sumpter Oregon is one of the premier snowmobiling
areas in Eastern Oregon with breathtaking mountain vistas, and incredible snowmobile trails winding through
the historic Elkhorn and Blue Mountain ranges stretching across two Oregon State Forest Ranges!
and thats not all folks.......
We have more than 350 miles of expertly groomed snowmobile trails in the Sumpter Oregon area!
Thousands of snowmobilers come to Sumpter to enjoy our famous snowmobile trails but few are aware of what it takes to maintain such wonderful snowmobile trails! So who grooms all those snowmobile trails?
The Sumpter Valley Blue Mountain Snowmobile Club of Sumpter Oregon, in cooperation
with the Oregon State Forest Service, grooms and maintains over 350 miles of the most popular snowmobile trails in Eastern Oregon and the Northwest!

The Tucker-Terra 2000 Snocat Trail Groomer was given to
the Sumpter Snowmobile Club in 2005 by the
Oregon State Snowmobile Association (OSSA). However,
fuel and maintenance and countless hours of time out on the Sumpter snowmobile trails are the responsiblity of the Sumpter Snowmobile Club. Local club members
volunteer their time and raise money through club fundraisers and the annual Sumpter Poker Run to cover expenses.
The Sumpter Snowmobile Club has a team of volunteers who take the Snocat out just about every day of the season
to keep all the snowmobile trails clean, safe, and enjoyable!
In addition to driving duties, volunteers also keep an eye out for obstructions on the trails such as fallen trees, rocks, etc.
Take a look at some of our favorite trail grooming photos!
