We are about to begin the 2011/2012 season, there are a couple of things to touch on;

 

 1. Our first meeting for the season has been canceled. November will be the 1st meeting.

 2. We are going to need volunteers for trail cleaning this year, a few of the regular guys aren't going to be able to help out as much this year - thanks to John Welch, Paul Cooper and Larry Gleason for your volunteer efforts, in the trails, groomer etc... in years past.

 3. We are also going to need people for grooming, contact Dwayne Anderson - President.

 

 You can renew your membership by printing off the application, on this website and mail it to the address on the application, or go to your local club member secretary for help, or you may utilize the NYSSA website @ www.membership.nyssnowassoc.org .   
Our club meetings are held on the 1st Friday of every month @ 7:00 PM during snowmobile  season at the Schroon Lake Town Hall. 

 

The Poker Run was a great success, we had 136 registrants. First place went to Angelo Cannistraci, second place went to Rob Parker and third place wnet to Torri Shufelt. The winner of the 50/50 raffle was Paul Rockenstier. We would like to thank everyone involved; the registrants, the volunteers, the Black Bear Restaurant and Sporty's Iron Duke Saloon for allowing us to hold registration at your establishments as well as a stop, thanks to the Wells House for joining our Poker Run. We would like to specially thank Patty & Bill Christian for the use of Witherbees Carriage House restaurant for registration and the finish, it was a great time.

I would like to take this opportunity to appolopize for our website not being updated on the home page, I did update on the calendar events, I did forget the home page, it was an oversite, again my appologies. 

Our trails are closed. See you next season

 

 

 

 

Snowmobile club treasurer Laurie Bruce will conducted her yearly snowmobile safety class on January 20-22, 2011. There was a nice size class and everyone passed. Thanks to all whom voluntereed.

We often field the question "Who can operate a snowmobile legally in NYS?"

New York State Office of Parks and Recreation website  states that "Youth ages 14 through 17 years old may operate a snowmobile, on lands upon which snowmobiling is allowed, without adult or other supervision if they have completed a snowmobile safety training course recognized by the State of New York. If youth ages 14 through 17 years have not completed the training course, they may operate a snowmobile if accompanied by (within 500 feet of) a person who is at least 18 years of age.

Youth ages 10 through 13 may operate a snowmobile, on lands upon which snowmobiling is allowed, if they have completed a snowmobile safety training course recognized by the State of New York and are accompanied by (within 500 feet of) a person who is at least 18 years of age.

Children less than 10 years old or less than age 14 without a safety certificate may operate a snowmobile only on lands owned or leased by their parent or guardian."

Visit the NYSSA website for a detailed reference to the New York State Laws pertaining to or effecting snowmobiles, including  OPRHP Law § 25.19, Operation by youthful operators.
