How It All Began... The New York Snowmobile Coordinating Group emerged in 1975 from a melting pot of diverse groups with common goals. The name was changed to the New York State Snowmobile Association in 1996. NYSSA is a volunteer effort of snowmobilers and organizations striving to improve the sport. The State of New York as well as many international sport and industry associations recognize NYSSA as the voice of New York snowmobilers.
Our Mission NYSSA seeks to preserve and improve snowmobiling in New York State. NYSSA works toward improving trails, facilities and services for participants, and defends snowmobilers against discriminatory legislation. NYSSA works to protect landowners, review and watchdog the NYS Trail Fund and is constantly seeking additional Trail funding programs.
NYSSA continually works to improve communications in every aspect of snowmobiling. NYSSA coordinates and provides leadership for New York State Snowmobile Clubs and Organizations in developing and implementing policies, strategies and action plans which foster the growth of safe snowmobiling.
Board of Directors Each Director represents either a multi or single county district. Each club or county association can nominate a candidate, then the clubs within the district elect the Director. Directors work with each club in their districts giving all snowmobilers a chance to be in touch with NYSSA at the local level.
Why should you belong?
To continue NYSSA's success, we need the financial support of every snowmobiler and club in the state. We have ambitious goals and we face critical issues. It's imperative that NYSSA remains a strong and active voice in Albany and a determined guardian of the Trails Fund for snowmobilers across the state. NYSSA is a valuable source of helpful information on everything from effective political contact to trail construction, from equipment maintenance techniques to new trail riding opportunities.
