Our club meetings are held on the 1st Friday of every month @ 7:00 PM during the sled season at the Schroon Lake Town Hall.  Our next meeting is scheduled for April 3rd, 2009.

 

During the season, our members help report current trail conditions on our Trail and Snow Report, which can also be found in the rotating banner above.

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.

We meet monthly during the winter to discuss and plan special events, trail maintenance issues, membership development, and of course the occasional "you can't be this latest riding story".

Each winter our volunteer instructors offer the NYS Snowmobile Safety Education Program. Our 2009 class was held in January, where Laurie Bruce graduated 15 students.  Thanks to all who participated!
