The Boutwell Hill Ski Club has purchased a new grooming ATV made possible through the support of local foundations and supporters.
The Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, Carnahan-Jackson Foundation, Lakeshore Savings Community Reinvestment Fund and Chautauqua Region Community Foundation provided funding for nearly 60% of the purchase price. Supporters and trail users provided the balance.
“We’re grateful to our local foundation for their confidence and support of our great winter recreation program on Boutwell Hill,” said Andy Dickson, Boutwell Hill Ski Club president. “Our new ATV is agile and powerful in deep snow and will mean more and better grooming of the trail system.”
