We are always looking for people interested in joining our organization.

Who Can Join?

We invite anybody interested in snowmobiling, the great oudoors, and winter in Central New York to join. Members are encouraged to dedicate enough time to participate and make a difference in the organization. Members are also encouraged to promote safety and trail courtesy.

Why Join a club?

	Club volunteers gain landowner permission for trails.
	Approximately 85% of trail mileage is on private land.
	Landowners prefer that riders belong to Clubs and NYSSA.
	Clubs work closely with landowners to meet their needs and keep trails open.
	Without the graciousness of landowners and the volunteer work of Clubs and NYSSA (New York State Snowmobile Association) there would be NO interconnecting New York State trail system.
	NYSSA holds the contract and administers the trail liability insurance policy, which makes the trail system possible.
	NYSSA is recognized in Albany and across the state as the association that represents the rights and needs of snowmobilers statewide.
	NYSSA has hired a Lobbyist and full-time Executive Director to further the objective of promoting and protecting snowmobiling in New York State. Keeping trails open and expanding the statewide trail system is a top priority.
	Registration fees only pay for approximately 50% of the cost of maintaining trails. Club & NYSSA fundraisers and membership are necessary to raise the balance.
	Clubs purchase and maintain grooming equipment.
	Grooming equipment is very expensive. The cost of a groomer and drag costs up to $120,000.
	There are over 9,000 miles of funded (@50% cost) trails in New York State.
	There are over 172,000 registered snowmobilers in New York State.
	Only about 25% of riders belong to a Club and NYSSA.
	Clubs and NYSSA need YOUR membership to help fund trails and participate in promoting and protecting snowmobiling. Your membership will help assure trails in the future.

United We Trail. Divided We Fail.
Join a Club and NYSSA today…
Thank You!
