Just a simple heads up for planning purpose:
With winter refusing to die and excellent regional snow cat outings happening weekly, here is a planning message and open invite. The first weekend in February, Thursday through Sunday.
*Clowder in the powder, 2024*
Event is a centrally located snow cat outing or Get Together in Bessemer MI. This Region of the USA gets a significant amount of lake effect snow off of lake superior and has easy access from all directions and time zones.
4-5 hours north of Chicago.
4 hours north and just a little east of Minneapolis
Event Swag to include:
Event T shirt
Event Beverage ( both adult and children)
dash plaques
Daily Koozies, ( collect all four )
stickers and vinyl signage
Canvas prints
LOTS of lodging options to include Affordable Group rate on lodging at the Host hotel
No registration
No permits needed
The clowder in the powder is a people event supported with a large attendance of snow cats. ( arguably the largest in north America )
So the 2023 event had some unannounced pilot programs. They were a hit and the program has teams stepping up to expand their efforts.
What's new you ask. stay tuned here for quarterly updates and help create the fun.:
New: Special clowder winter camping access is a new program, decide if you prefer mild or wild terrain and the team will set you up

Updated outing: on opening day (Thursday February 1st) coordinates are randomly selected and you are off on a very unique experience you can go solo or in a team if you prefer........... (details to come)
Updated outing:
The original Friday outing is not getting messed with it is too perfect in its design, it is however getting some new structure and logistics to better suit the large number of snow cats and the varying interests of participants ( again stay tuned )
Saturday, Clowder proper! the show and *not so* shine and rodeo, has a fresh approach as well as more options.2
As always towing at the event is a minimum smiles per mile are a maximum, Have a great summer and here is to a great maintenance season.
