The Targhee Ridgerunners, founded in 1968, are more than a social group or snowmobile club. They are behind the scenes promoters of our area and are our voice in the Idaho State Snowmobile Association (ISSA). Beside spending time going sledding in the area, the snowmobile club really tries to give a lot back to the community. Every spring they give away four $250 scholarships to North Fremont Seniors and another two $250 scholarships for continuing education. They also donate money to the Search & Rescue each year and adopt a family from the Ashton Red Hats during the "Giving Tree" season. They also have adopted Highway 47 down through Warm River to clean up yearly. They are the voices that are instrumental in helping improve bridges, have input into trail maintenance and area closures, and really stress safety by providing workshops on avalanche and snowmobile safety. They work very hard to encourage all who own snowmobiles to register them. If you register your snowmobile in our county, the money goes toward keeping the trails well groomed. Because of their efforts, Fremont county has the most registered snowmobiles in Idaho , totaling over 10,000 (Teton, Jefferson and Madison counties have a combined 1,730). At their annual Steak Fry / Membership Drive, they raise money they donate back to the community. When you attend the Steak Fry, your payment for dinner is also your membership fee. The Targhee Ridgerunners recently held their elections for new officers.
