Your Clubs Need You Now!!
Happy summer everyone. I know that at this time of year, and with the weather being so warm across
the state, the last thing on your mind is probably renewing your club membership. The summer months
are typically the rough stretch for clubs and early renewal of your membership helps get them through the
rough spot.
Clubs still have groomer payments, repairs and overhead to pay for even in the summer months when
there is little to no money coming in. Couple that with the dreadful season last year many clubs are
really feeling the pinch.
Clubs will not receive trail maintenance funds for months, sometimes well after the season begins in
December and even as late as January. Your club can use your support now more than ever.
You can help by sending in your membership renewal in now to help your club survive the summer
months and keep the lights on.
Many of the New York clubs have been moving towards Facebook pages but most still retain their
websites. If you haven’t ever looked at your clubs
website, summertime is the perfect time the take a
glance at it. You might be surprised at how much
information they put up for members to stay informed.
Online membership and registration links, club
events, meetings, club apparel, trail maps, safety
tips, emergency contact information, Snowmobile
Safety Training dates and locations are all common
things clubs include on their websites.
Here is a quick link to a list of all clubs in New York
State where you can link up to their websites and
membership renewals. https://
membership.nysnowmobiler.com/clubs
Even if you don’t have time to help with club operations, you can still be an excellent club member by
buying those raffle tickets, club T-shirts, maps or continuing to throw a little in the groomer donation cans
found at most stops along the trail.
Ultimately, Renewing Your Club Membership Now will go far in helping your club to stay up and running until trail funds are received this winter. I know the clubs appreciate your dedication not only to
them, but to the sport and doing your part to ensure that snowmobiling will be a vital part of the New York
culture for years to come.
Here is a quick link to the login page of the membership site.

We Love our Farmers
The 230 snowmobile clubs have
a unique relationship with the
landowners in New York State
who so generously open up their
land to snowmobiling each year.
No other trail based organization
is as dependent on the agricultural community as we are. The
simple fact is that without the
generosity of the farming community there would not be a
10,000+ mile snowmobile trail
system contributing upwards of
$868 million in economic activity
to the state.
We know that our farmers put
up with a lot to do this. The
maverick snowmobiler who can’t

seem to read the sign that says
“Stay on Trail” to the persona
non grata who does damage to farm equipment and runs away, to the litter bug who can’t seem to pick up
after themselves. Our farmers put up with a lot and we know it!
As a sport and an Association we know that we can insulate our landowners from malicious lawsuits when
someone crashes and claims it is anyone’s fault but their own. Our general liability policy covers both the
club and the landowner for the use of the trail, plus NY’s General Obligations law makes it very hard to successfully sue a landowner as an outcome of a snowmobile accident. This year policy provides higher limits
than ever before.
We know that just a “Thank you!” is enough for many landowners, but the Association feels that we should
be able to do more and the state has some responsibility here to support a trail system that returns so
much to the state. Over the years various bills have been introduced in the State Legislature that would
provide a benefit to landowners who give permission for a trail. Each of those bills has presented challenges to local government and were not successful.
This year we worked with Senator John DeFrancisco and Assemblyman Bill Magee to introduce S.4244B/
A.1452D. This legislation provides for a tax credit equal to $.10 per foot of state approved trail that may
cross a farmer’s property. To qualify for the tax credit the land in question would have to have an agricultural assessment or if it is a timber lot be in the 480-A program. While the $.10 per foot does not sound
like much statewide this could result in several million dollars in credits being awarded to the agricultural
community.
If you think our snowmobile trail landowners deserve more than just a simple “Thank you!” take minute to
write your State Senator, State Assemblyman and the Governor a short note asking them to please support

Snowmobiles, Economic Impact, and Tourism in Oneida Co., NY
While we are still in the summer season, the hot, humid weather surely doesn’t promote too many snowmobilers to think much about snow and snowmobiling. Well, to be clear…some of us do! As I write this, the
weather has just turned from a really heavy thunderstorm, giving our area a much needed dousing of rain,
which followed days of really warm temps with no precipitation. And the outlook for the rest of summer is
for more heat. Enough about the “bad” … back to talking about snowmobiling…
The emphasis of this month’s article is what positive effect snowmobiles and snowmobile-related businesses
have on our statewide economy, but I will be looking at one region in particular that I have been more involved in. Over the years in many of our NYSSA staff and officer articles here, we quote economic impact
studies on snowmobiling. The most recent was undertaken in 2012, but the one right previous to that one
was performed in 2003, both by the SUNY-Potsdam University. The figure these analyses discovered was
$875 and $868 million dollars, respectively, annually. That’s an economy boost this State and its upstate region cannot afford to miss-out on, in my opinion!!
Obviously with inflation and the increased cost of goods considered as well as the registration numbers fluctuating, this figure can go up or down. But the fact remains that snowmobiling in NYS represents to our
businesses close to $1 BILLION dollars per year! These studies used sample solicitations of known snowmobilers across NYS. Examples of what are factors in producing figures relative to obtaining an accurate study
are new and used sled purchases, parts and repairs, insurance premiums, winter-wear for cozy riding, helmets, performance parts and work, trailer sales to haul the sleds, hotel/motel stays away from home while on
snowmobile-related trips, restaurant food and beverages, gas purchases, and many other expenses that
snowmobilers spend their money on in the course of a year for their sport. It also includes a multiplier of the
total actually spent which represents that same money being re-spent by business owners and their employees.
Only approximately 30 upstate Counties have snow long enough to justify a significant amount of snowmobile
trails. That means that this $1 BILLION dollars is mainly generated in these areas, like Oneida County, in an
average of 3 months each year. That is an awesome fact!! Yes, people outside those Counties do purchase
sleds and goods, but it is mainly upstate where their money is spent while out riding, staying in hotels, and
purchasing fuel in their vehicles and sleds, and food for themselves.
Many people simply cannot fathom or understand large amounts of money when the digits are carried out as
far as millions. But we all can recognize time. So here’s a great analogy to ponder: There are 60 seconds in
a minute; 60 minutes in an hour; 24 hours in a day; and 365 days in 1 year. That translates to 86,400 seconds in 1 day and 31,536,000 seconds in a year. In order to add up to 1 BILLION seconds, 11,574 days
would have to pass before one would see 1 billion seconds!! That’s 31 and ¾ years!!! Quite a lot of time,
eh? In comparison to money, if each second of time represented a dollar, that’s a lot of cash that is generated by snowmobilers to this State’s economy. It’s interesting to put it in perspective like that. Picture that
many dollar bills lined up totaling almost $1 BILLION dollars!! WOW!
Over the past 25+ years or so that I have been promoting snowmobiling in my home area, I have had to
meet with political figures to gain their support for our sport’s future growth and to explain what snowmobiles truly represent to our State, County, Cities, and local municipalities. I have met many who were both

remarkably impressed and unaware of the numbers that these studies brought out, as well as a few skeptics
who simply could not comprehend it. Using the study above, Oneida County alone realizes at least $25 million dollars per year due to the snowmobile industry and enthusiasts. Each County is different of course, but
I am only using Oneida as I was so involved there for many years.
Over the most recent years, I met several times with a local Rome businessman who was fully enthralled with
the numbers I had presented, what they represented locally, as he realized what our region was missing by
not being more involved with the clubs. Many times he invited me to address our local Visitor’s Bureau to
educate them more and get them onboard. This businessman saw what many locally didn’t or just took for
granted in regards to the impact snowmobilers had on the region. He used those figures to introduce support for our local snowmobile clubs and their efforts to the County Government officials. Due to his relentless pressure then, the doors are still open today for us giving our leadership access, influence in spending,
and advertising for the anticipated wintertime visitors.
Christopher Destito, whose family owns the Inn at The
Beeches & Conference Center as well as the local Rome favorite The Savoy Restaurant, was that man with an unrivaled
vision when it came to tourism and seeing what many others
don’t in the business of drawing visitors to this area. He was a
past President of the Oneida Co. Convention and Visitors Bureau
(the OCCVB is now known simply as Oneida County Tourism)
and was instrumental in many of their endeavors that showcased
the Oneida Co. area and its many attractions. Through the years
that I was privileged enough to have known and worked with
Chris, he made it quite clear that he would not and could not be
a party to politically influence his wife, the former Utica-Rome
Photo courtesy the Inlet Barnstormers.
Assemblywoman RoAnn Destito. That stance and viewpoint
really drew my attention, as well as my utmost respect. I truly learned a lot from Chris and his positive attitude towards attempting to make our area more attractive to tourists, as well as to our own residents.
This same savvy businessman saw that by bringing me onboard as a Board Member of the Oneida County
Tourism, I could have the ears of the other BoD members in setting policy there to be more friendly and understanding of snowmobiling… finally giving our sport a voice within their Board. I accepted that position and
was at one time the BoD Vice-Chair as well as their Personnel Committee Chair for a while, enjoying the experiences and the opportunity to work with other business leaders to accomplish their goals and bring new
economic activity to this area for 9 years. The OCT, among many other initiatives, oversees promotion of the
local business interests from cooped bed tax dollars along with I LOVE NY grant funding to bring travelers to
learn more about all of the local attractions and things to do when they come to stay, to play, and spend
money in the Oneida Co area. That bed-tax is NOT a County tax on the local County residents, but only
charged to those that stay there in hotels/motels or bed & breakfast businesses to enjoy what the Oneida Co.
area has to offer.
Unfortunately, we lost this great businessman and community leader to his serious illness back in early 2010.
My wife and I attended his calling hours to show our respect and to show sympathy for his family. And by
the amount of cars and traffic in the area of the funeral home that weekend showed how many others also
respected and loved this man. His efforts to put Oneida County tourism at the top of the NY map for visitors
will never be forgotten by me, and his work of promoting my home city of Rome, Oneida County as a whole,
and the entire region was left to be carried on by many others attempting to fill his shoes. He definitely gave
us all a lot of work to do, in that sense! We certainly need more people like Chris Destito in this world!
What caused me to write this article about Oneida Co. tourism at this time of year? I just read an article that
gave an incredible monetary figure which represents the amount of money tourism means to their County.

How do I get my wife/girlfriend to ride with me?
By Darlene Dietrich Lombardo
NYSSA Director-at-Large & Member Webster Ridge Runners
I get asked this all the time. The smell of 2 stroke is all I
need to get in the mood, but I guess all women aren’t like
me. I have been riding over 45 years, took my first trip to
Stillwater at 6 months old (see picture below). My dad was a
snowmobile dealer, so we usually had something to ride.
Most of my extended family is from the “North Country”, my
parents graduated from Copenhagen. Snowmobiling was the best winter entertainment around. We have a family cabin on Chases Lake where my cousins and I rode
for many years, from Kitty
Cats to Sno Jets. It was just
part of growing up for me, so
I had to really think about
how to entice women onto a
sled who might not have it in
their blood like me.
1) WARM GEAR!
The number one thing
you have to have is warm
gear. If she isn’t warm, she
won’t want to go again. If
she has pants from skiing,
these will not be enough to
keep her warm. Good foot
wear is especially important.
Once your feet get cold it is
very difficult to warm up. Driving gloves will also not cut it for snowmobiling. I say all these things because I have
had friends over the years try them all. Luckily, it was only around my house, so
when they got too cold we could just go in. If you are worried about shelling out all

(Continued from page 13)
that money, the good
news is styles have
come a long way in recent years. Even if she
ends up not snowmobiling, it’s still attractive
winter outerwear that
she could wear
throughout the winter.
More fun, take her
shopping! While you're
checking out the latest
sleds and accessories,
let her check out the
cloths. The Big East
show in Syracuse, the
first weekend in October, is a great place to
get a deal on clothing.
There are also online
outlets. If she's not
fussy, even craigslist and Facebook offer little worn jackets and bibs that can be found
for a fraction of the price. Maybe a buddy has something you could borrow for her
first ride.
2) TAKE SHORT TRIPS!
Another point is to take short trips the first time out. She needs a place to stop to
warm up and use the restroom. Generally, women need to stop more frequently for
the restroom and although going on the trail CAN be done, if you want her to come
again, I wouldn’t suggest it. A nice food stop can be appreciated as well. Traveling
with another couple, or at least having other girls in the group, can be helpful as well.
Emphasize the social aspect of snowmobiling. It's really a great way to hang out with
your friends and even make new ones! There are also nice overnight accommodations too. By turning it into quality time together, she’s more apt to enjoy it.

(Continued from page 14)
3) RIDE A LITTLE SLOWER
You also have to know what kind of person you are riding with. I tend to have a
need for speed, not every girl does. If you are just touring around or riding hard, that
could make a difference on whether she comes again. I know plenty of female rough
riders, but not all of them are. I am also a terrible passenger, I want to drive. This is
worth discussing before you go out. Maybe you have a buddy that would let you borrow a sled for her to “test drive”. (ok maybe not his/her new one)
4) EXPLAIN THE CONTROLS
If she is riding her own sled, take the time to
explain all of the controls on the sled (particularly
the kill switch). Go over the hand signals you will
be using and what they mean. Reassure her that
you will wait for her at every intersection (to alleviate that anxiety of being left behind, that all new
riders experience).
These are just a few tips to try to get them
out there. You need to remember this ride is about
HER. Check with her often on how things are going and adjust accordingly. A little extra attention
can get you a long way (in everything, not just
snowmobiling). Just know that it won’t be for everyone. If she ends up loving it, and I hope she
does, contact me and I will invite her to our next
“chick ride.”
NYSSA General Manager Anne O’Dell in 1991.
“If you want her to stick with it.. Buy her a decent
sled! I never liked the 440, and wound u p riding
“his” Polaris Indy 500 most of the time. It felt more
solid and of course it was FAST. For my own
purchase.. It was a Dragon… well, I guess
I like to RIDE!”
