Trails are bare in many spots, if you are riding, please have courtesy for the land owners and their property ( damage with no snow ). We are finished grooming for the season.

 

2/25/2010

 We recieved about 14" of fresh snow yeasterday and the second storm is now here. The groomer went out to pack trails last night.

   

 Please remember that when riding at night, to have some respect for the land owners, who's houses we are riding by, so please try to stay on trails and keep the noise level down while going by houses. Without them we don't have trails to connect and ride. Thanks.

Snowmobile club treasurer Laurie Bruce conducted her yearly snowmobile safety class this past weekend. Laurie divided the class into 3 sessions to make up the mandatory 8 hour class. This year’s class was small but enthusiastic. All 8 students successfully completed the class and received certificates. They can now enjoy snowmobiling safely and in accordance with New York State laws.

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.
