For the second year in a row, we are not able to bring the Forum
to life and I will say that I truly do miss seeing all the club
members. Two years seems like an eternity, but we are all
looking forward to being able to bring the event back for 2022
in Syracuse.
In the meantime, NYSSA has been doing educational webinars
each month to try to assist the clubs. On Tuesday, April 13 th, we
held the latest one lead by staff members at OPRHP, which
focused on how clubs can apply for an RTP grant. Although
there has been no date set to open the grant, the state is
expecting that it will begin in the next couple of months. Check
out their page below to see what is eligible to be funded using
RTP funds.

W ith the snow gone and all the trails closed, I have a tough time not letting the brown ground totally depress me.
While this past winter can go into the “not bad” category, there was a total lack of new snow in March, which brought
the season to a sudden end. The sleds and trailer have been put away for the summer and for me, it is time to focus on
next season.
Holiday Hunt
As many of you know, DEC adopted a regulation on February 17th implementing an extra week of big game hunting in
the Southern Zone for bow, crossbow, and muzzle loader. The special season will start on December 26th and end on
January 1st of each year. The regulation has caused a real stir among all those groups that use the outdoors for their
recreation during Christmas week. NYSSA found the adoption of this change most disappointing. Many snowmobilers
and landowners wrote in opposition to the Holiday Hunt, but the opposition was not universal and those in support still
out commented those in opposition. Based on some information that we were able to gather, clubs historically opened
their trails in the Southern Zone about half the time during that week.
Those for and against the Holiday Hunt seemed to be concentrated in certain areas. In Central NY, opposition to the
Holiday Hunt was most spirited, while in the Southern Tier and in and around the Catskills, there was some vocal
support for the Holiday Hunt.
There appears to be a misperception among snowmobilers that NYSSA has given up on this issue. We have not.
Personally, I have attended several meetings with DEC since the regulation’s adoption with the hope that they can be
convinced that one size does not fit all with this Holiday Hunt. They already have realized that they need to do a job
educating those who use the outdoors on what to expect. Our lobbyist and I have been in contact with state legislators
regarding the issue and they have expressed support for our position. We will work with those legislators to see if we
can craft a solution that avoids alienating our landowners who want to see the Holliday Hunt take place but will protect
our season.
Trail Funding
Over the past decade, the amount of money that clubs receive per mile of trail has not increased. If anything, it has gone
down as more miles of trail have been approved by the state and as the average annual number of registrations has
diminished. This past year we have also seen a significant increase in the number of nonclub member registrations.
NYSSA has endorsed an increase in nonmember resident ($125) and nonresident ($150) registrations. Unfortunately,
this is a population of riders that we have no way to communicate with and alert them to upcoming state issues. This is
also the group that never volunteers any time at the club. NYSSA believes this is a group that can pay a little more for
that behavior or they can join a club. The proposal could generate another $600,000 for the trail fund. The proposal
would not touch club member registrations.
Hopefully, the legislature will agree, and we will get a bill introduced this session and signed into law. Ultimately, the
clubs will receive a more equitable support for their trail maintenance expenses.

A POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON THIS PAST
WINTER…And Going Forward
Do you see all things as the “glass in half-full or half-empty”, as the old quote goes? Some look at this past winter
as a “bust”, as it started late and ended a bit early. Others look at it from the point of view that once the snow started to
fall, the clubs were able to build a solid base on the trails and keep it as there really wasn’t a “winter meltdown” that took
the base away until late February/early March. I choose to see it on the positive side as half-full because not losing the
base is a great asset to keeping trails groomed and not having to “start over and over…” each time a warm-up melts the
trails away. Sure, it wasn’t completely a full glass, but the season was much better across most of the Upstate of NY than
it has been over the previous 6 or 7 years. Yup, not as much snow as “the good ole days when the snow was piled up to
the telephone wires” no doubt, but again looking at the positive side, it was not too bad for those areas that did have good
snow most of the season from mid-January to early-March and/or for riders who decided to truck their sleds to ride
anywhere they had to and wanted to in the State.
What is positive thinking? In doing some internet research, I found this: “Positive thinking is a mental attitude
in which you expect good and favorable results. It doesn’t mean you bury your head in the sand and ignore obvious issues
and/or problems. It means approaching potential bad situations in a productive way.” Whether it’s the winter snow;
snowmobile sales figures; club membership numbers; fundraising activities: the future outlook of our sport needs to be
looked at from all ways…good and bad…but with an emphasis on the positive side so we can see the productiveness of the
clubs’ volunteers, the potential for future growth of ridership here in NYS, and the continued success for each of the
snowmobile clubs to financially survive, grow, and have enough funds to upgrade their equipment.
Snowmobile sales numbers, new and used, were WAY UP this year, mostly attributed to Covid and being cooped
up in our homes for so long. The entire RV industry across North America recorded higher-than-recent-average sales #s
(ATVs, motorcycles, boats, RVs, etc…). The “spring order programs” that the 4 sled manufacturers are doing really well,
with all 4 actually selling out of some 2022 models early! Higher sales of new snowmobiles will only help used sleds
retain their values better. It also helps the NYS Parks Snowmobile Trail and Development Fund (Trail Fund, for short) by
having those sleds registered and the portion of the DMV fees (minus only $5.00/each) going into the Trail Fund. That
Trail Fund is where the clubs receive their partial reimbursement of the expenses and hours they put into trail work,
bridges/culverts, grooming, and any other allowed expenditures. Having NYS DMV sled registration numbers up over
10% this year will certainly allow the reimbursement rates to go up as well. That’s certainly a positive!
Club membership numbers were also up this year compared to the last several years. That
money paid to your chosen club(s) is directly infused into the clubs’ hands, minus the NYSSA/
SLEDNY $6.00/primary membership fee. Secondary membership dues are reduced by that $6.00
amount and all of the dues go to the selected club(s). Secondary memberships are a great way to
show one’s appreciation of how well a club other than your chosen primary club has done on their
trails…grooming, signage, fundraising events, and so on. This year, many clubs had a significant
increase in secondary memberships, which is a positive in my view as riders are seeing that option
available to them and taking it to show that appreciation financially. Joining club(s) where you
live and/or ride the most is a positive thing!
Some positive trail news…From the Tri-Lakes area, the work that was performed on the new rail-trail between
Tupper Lake and Lake Clear Junction this past fall and into winter on the Remsen-Lake Placid Travel Corridor (R-LPTC)
made for a very successful season once the DOT and their project vendor cleared the tracks for safe snowmobile use in
mid-February. Yes, the project went well past the timeline that the DOT and DEC has stated, and also less work did get
done…BUT in all reality, there was only about a week of the season missed up there as there wasn’t enough snow to cover
the rails on the rest of the corridor anyhow.

Continued from page 4
Businesses in Tupper Lake were full to capacity at times, from
pictures posted on social media and shared all around. The clubs stepped up
their grooming operations and showcased what that rail-trail will be like
once all the rails and ties are removed (as a matter of fact, the project vendor
is removing the rails and ties as of the writing of my article and are expected
to be done well before winter season 2021-22 begins). All in all, the work
done on the new rail-trail was positive and will only get better when the
complete multi-use, 4-season trail is finished in 2023. After a long haul of
commenting on this proposal, we finally got the rail-trail approved!
Most of us see the rail rehab project from Big Moose Station to
Tupper Lake as a negative. We lost that years’ long battle, but on the
positive side, the rail project will fix many of the corridor deterioration
issues and washouts along the way on that section. Plans are also in place to
correct curves so that the degree isn’t so sharp that clubs have issues with
their drags sliding off the rails. Having the project vendor know about the
clubs’ issues will only benefit from the work and show a negative situation
of rehabbing that center section into a positive with a better trail once the
rails are filled in with enough snow to start grooming and riding the corridor.
Businesses in Hamilton, Herkimer, Franklin, Essex, Northern Oneida and St.
Lawrence County will all benefit from an improved trail-on-the-rail on this
corridor.
More positive trail news: Out of the Saratoga and Warren Counties, Photo from Tupper Lake Snowmobile Club
news that the clubs are attempting to reconnect a trail to provide a Feb 22, 2021
community connector trail in both counties. That would be very positive
for the businesses near the trail as well as for riders who want to travel to that area. More to come as the clubs report their
positive efforts!
The next round of the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grants will be this spring. NYSSA held a very
informative webinar this past week regarding the RTP requirements and discussed issues within the program right now.
We have a section within our website dedicated to the information for any snowmobile club interested in applying for this
federal grant opportunity. The link is: https://nysnowmobiler.com/rtp-grant-information/ The actual 2021 RTP grant
information is not out yet, but when it is, the entire application will be found at the Parks website at this link: https://
parks.ny.gov/grants/recreational-trails/default.aspx Everything a club will need is found there. The RTP grant is only held
every other year here in NYS, so for those clubs who can qualify and are in need of grant dollars for trail acquisition or
new trail grooming equipment should take this positive opportunity to read up on it right away in advance of the actual
application release since the deadline for submittal is normally at the end of July.
Almost every snowmobile club has trail issues that they will need to contend with before next season, and obvious
trail work of trimming trees and most likely, bridge repair work. I suggest each person reading this article that is not
already involved with a club or two as an active volunteer take the positive step to reach out to see what the club is doing
and what type of help they may need. It might just be just fundraising help at an event or entering the required data in the
paperwork the clubs must file with NYS Parks at different times of the year (all throughout the year). The club needs
positive volunteers to help them continue to perform the trails that riders want. And they will certainly appreciate it!
Join a club, wherever you ride!
SLOW DOWN! Enjoy the ride…safely!
THINK! You are an ambassador of this sport!

Congratulations to Brynne Backus, Recipient of the
2021 Joan and Digger Vriessen Scholarship
Joan and Digger were active in the Wyoming County Snowmobile Association. They were also early member of
the Pendleton Snowmobile Club in Niagara County
Digger was District Director for Wyoming Co. and he and Joan as well as Jim Stevenson (from the Marilla Sno-
Mob) were instrumental in getting the inactive Genesee County Snowmobile Association reorganized, located a
county government sponsor, and helped old and new clubs getting reestablished.
Genesee was merged with Wyoming and Digger was the first District Director for the combined counties and
attended many club meetings in Genesee Co. Joan became NYSSA secretary shortly after that.
Western New York and NYSSA as a whole, owe Joan and Digger much for their dedication and service to
organized snowmobiling. We recognize Joan and Digger annually with the award of this scholarship to a
deserving individual.
The NYS Snowmobile Association is asking me what
snowmobiling means to me; I think that it means three different
things. Having respect, helping out one another, and having fun.
Before I explain to you what snowmobiling means to me, let me
explain to you a little about myself. I'm Brynne Backus, I belong
to the Hamden Hill Ridge Riders Snowmobile Club and the
Maywood Snow Riders Snowmobile Club, which are located in
Delaware County, New York. The reason why I am a part of
both clubs is because my parents are divorced and they both
belong to separate clubs. I do a lot of work for both clubs, I help
out at fundraisers, breakfast/dinner benefits, trail work,
grooming the trails, putting up signs, fences and annual
snowmobile races.
What it means to have respect is to, respect landowner's
property, respect state land, respect other snowmobilers, and
respect the rules that are put in place or advised by your local
club and town/community. Most importantly, respect the
environment in which our wildlife and natural surroundings
should not be harmed.
When helping out one another it means, if someone gets stuck
on the trails or goes off the trails and is by themselves, it's
courteous of someone to pull over and check with the lone
snowmobiler and see if they need help. Also, to help each other
out means, club members coming together to work as a team to
get trails ready by trimming or clear away down trees,
repairing/replacing bridges, putting up trail signs and general maintenance to the trails.
When it means to have fun, it means having fun. Enjoy the view you come across, make it a fun family outing, go to a
restaurant; there are plenty of restaurants here in Upstate New York you can ride up to and enjoy a nice warm meal. This
also will help the local economy, which some of our local restaurants and gas stations really depend on the extra volume of
snowmobilers riding in during the winter months.
Being a member of two snowmobile clubs keeps me very busy throughout the whole year, along with my schoolwork,
sports, 4-H and FFA activities. I look forward to the winter and lots of snow. This year has been an excellent year for
riding, whether it is up north or here in Delaware County and surrounding counties.

Congratulations to Taylor VanDeWark, Recipient of
the 2021 Mary and Norris Brusoe Scholarship
Norris Brusoe chaired and/or served on various NYSSA Committees, including the Nominating Committee,
Public Relations and various Ad Hoc committees, and the Ways and Means (Budget and Finance) Committee.
He served NYSSA as delegate to the Northeast Chapter of the International Snowmobile Council for ten years
and was a member of its Nominating committee for three years. He served as NYSSA’s delegate to the
International Snowmobile Congress for ten years. Mary Brusoe served as NYSSA’s Office Manager for many,
many years, although back then, the position was officially called Director of Communications. This was back in
the days before computers and fax machines. She wrote everything on a typewriter and correspondence was
done mainly by mail and phone calls. Norris and Mary were honored by the prestigious International
Snowmobile Industry Association with receipt of its Snowmobile Family of the Year award in 1990. It is our
honor to memorialize these pioneers of our sport by naming this scholarships after them.
I love snowmobiling. It is one of my biggest passions and I love
spending my free time out riding. Snowmobiling has been a part
of my life for as long as I can remember; from riding on the
snowmobile with my father to when I got my first snowmobile.
The first snowmobile that I ever had was a Kitty Kat that my
younger brother and I received for Christmas when I was 6 years
old. We rode that thing for miles around the house until we
eventually started to out grow it and then moved onto a 1986
Yamaha Phazer that we could take on the trails. We still have
both sleds to this day and still ride the Phazer. After a few years,
I eventually bought my first sled for myself, a 1999 Polaris xc sp
600. I rode that for a couple of years before upgrading to a 2001
Polaris Edge xcsp 600. With my father’s guidance, I put a 136
inch track on it and changed out the hood and belly pan. I have
had a blast riding it this year.
The impact of snowmobiling has been immeasurable in my life
allowing quality time with my family and friends. I’ve spent
countless hours with my father in the garage learning about
maintaining sleds as well as helping our local snowmobile club
with trail maintenance and bridge building. I have started to also
spend more time helping friends getting into snowmobiling and
helping others work on and fix their sleds.
I personally think the trails in the Honeoye, New York area are
some of the best trails you can ride. Riding around the area with
my friends and finding long snowmobile rides is the best. Last
year we went for our longest ride yet in the area, going to
Arkport and then back to Honeoye. We also had an epic day of long riding on a snow day from school. We were the first
riders to break the trails from Honeoye to Naples then doubled back, that night we rode the opposite direction all the way
to Bloomfield and back.
My future plans are to attend Clarkson University to achieve a 4 year degree in engineering. My goal and dream is to one
day be able to work for Polaris Snowmobiles where I can develop a career working and designing new snowmobiles to
help advance the sport and be a bigger part of the sport. The sport of snowmobiling will always be a key part of my life.
