Trails
September 2009
To All Toads,
Welcome back to snowmobiling for the 2009-2010 season. We are all looking forward to a fun, safe and snow filled season. To that point, there is much work to be done. As the trailmaster, I am excited to get started so we may all make the most of our trails this year. Our focus is always on fun and safety, and this year with our new full sized groomer we all look forward to the best season ever. We have made great progress over the past few years by expanding our trails, and building 6 bridges, to make things more family friendly.
The membership turnout for trail work has been great, but we seem to lack for people during the last few weeks before the season opens. Often times we can not get to many areas until the last minute due to hunting season and our land owner concerns. This year we need to have people from the beginning of the trail work process right through to the end.
Please look to the club’s website for work schedules and sign up at the meetings to be called via our phone tree. I encourage everyone to show up and help and see how much fun we have. I also ask everyone to e-mail suggestions between the September & October meetings, to the club’s e-mail address, as your input will allow us make the most of our time and to enjoy ourselves during the process.

The trails officially open this year on December 21st. That is the first day after muzzle loader season ends. Please respect our generous landowners and stay off the trails until then. If you see someone breaking the rules, tell them they are!
For a copy of the NYSSA trail signage guides, click here. The guidelines have changed somewhat with much emphasis placed on crossings and Intersections.
Be sure to visit the gallery for pics of this year’s as well as past year’s trail work. Also Please try to volunteer some time to help get the trails ready. It really is quite a big job and the more the merrier. What other time do you get a chance to tour some beautiful country side on a Saturday afternoon?
