MEMBERSHIP IN THE NY
STATE SNOWMOBILE ASSOCIATION: NYSSA has been instrumental in developing and
implementing policies, strategies and action plans to foster the growth of safe
snowmobiling, including defending against discriminatory legislation and watchdogging the
trail fund. Without their assistance and lobbying efforts we would most certainly be
unable to maintain our State trails. They keep us up to date on the changing laws
governing the sport.
