Did you know Tioga County is home to hundreds of miles of top-tier snowmobile trails? 🏔️❄️

Those trails don't maintain themselves—they take teamwork! TEAM Tioga partners with New York State and five local snowmobile clubs to secure essential grant funding for trail maintenance, grooming, bridge repairs, and safety signage.

A huge thank you to all the local volunteers who work hard all winter long to keep our trails safe, connected, and great for local businesses!
