Mind feet
in winter
California winters allow
residents to enjoy a wide vari-
ety of outdoor sports from reg-
ular aerobic activities like
running and cycling to fast-
track fun in the snow.
Snowbound sports like
downhill and cross-country
skiing, snowboarding and
sledding provide an exhilarat-
Lng cardiovascular workout
and a welcome change from
the concrete walls of the gym.
But these wintry sports can be
a challenge to foot health.
• "Proper footwear is a critical
component to staying injury-
free during winter sports activ-
ities," said J. Brian Warne,
DPM, a podiatric surgeon.
Abnormal biomechanical
forces like excess motion and
instability also can be con,
trolled with custom orthotic
devices will improve foot
function, minimize stress and
help prevent foot injuries.
One of the most common
winter foot injuries, with or i
without snow, is due to the
cold temperatures, Warne said.
Properly fitting, insulated
waterproof boots or shoes are
as important as coats, hats, or
gloves in the outdoors during
the winter, t
Socks are also important.
Warne recommends a single
pair of thick socks made of.
acrylic fibers, or a blend in-
cluding them, ,that "wick"
away moisture caused by per-
spiration in the boot.

Snowmobile club plans events
JOHN DEE00
The Lake Almanor Snow-
mobile Club is actively wel-
coming the winter storms as
the 2011 season gets under-
way. For many years, the club
has participated in promoting
the sport of snowmobiling,
safety and community in-
volvement.
Anyone with an interest in
snowmobiling is welcome to
visit a meeting (held monthly
from October to April) to
learn more about member-
ship. The January meeting
will be a potluck on Thurs-
day, Jan. 20, at the
Brinkmans' on Peninsula Dri-
ve, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Club activities include
scheduled club rides under
the direction of Tom Gaither,
with rides to Fredonyer,
Humbug and Butte Meadows.
The biggest project of tle
year is the annual poker run,
on the Saturday of Presidents'
Weekend, Feb. 20. The event
typically draws a few hundred
riders, with many of them
coming from out of the area.
This year's poker run will be
dedicated to Alexandra
Gaither, as the club continues
to help the family with costs in-
curred during Alex's recovery.
Thanks to the generosity of
local merchants, the success
of last year's poker run raffle
made possible donations to
the Chester Elementary Play-
ground Fund, Chamber of
commerce fireworks, Eagle
Lake Children's Charities and
Chester High School's Fish
Program and Sober Grad-
Night.
Information regarding the
Lake Almanor Snowmobile
Club can be accessed through
the Chester Lake Almanor
chamber's website, or by con-
tacting Jenni Cesarin (284-

Warmer than usual condi-
tions have resulted in heavy,
wet snow; please be aware
that this can translate into
hazardous riding conditions.
Make sure you ride with oth-
ers or let people know where
you're going, bring emer-
gency supplies and keep an
eye on the weather forecast.
Have fun out there!
Eagle Lake Ranger District
Conditions have changed.
Last week we had wet snow,
and the trails still groomed up
nicely. With temperatures
greater than 35 degrees, our
• equipment is less effective,
thus preventing us from
working the Bogard Trails
and the Fredonyer Long Loop.
All other trails are ready for
your riding enjoyment!
Skiers: Our projected plan
is to groom a trail at Hog Flat
Reservoir. Park off Highway
44 at Goumaz Road (Forest
Road 30N03); in the meadow
on the right you will find.a
groomed track. This is a per-
fect loop for beginning skiers.
If we were not able to set a
track, just skiaround the
frozen reservoir. Let your in-
spiration, the views and the
terrain determine your route!
Hat Creek Ranger District
Last Tuesday's storm
dropped 3 - 8 inches of fresh
snow in the Ashpan/Batfle
Creek area and Latour State
Forest. Ninety miles of trail
are groomed and open for rid-
ing, including the Latour to
Battle Creek connector.
Warmer temperatures are
hampering grooming efforts
somewhat, but Ashpan trails
are in great shape with 45-50
miles groomed recently.
Please use caution on the La-
tour system, as springs cross-
ing the roads have created
some hazards along the edges
and across some roads.
Grooming will continue as
temperatures allow. For more
information, see cnsa.net/
grooming-informa,tion.html.
