Landowners, Our most important partners
Nearly 80% of the snowmobile trails in New York are located on private lands. We appreciate the partnership with our landowners, and remind all snowmobilers to treat the trails- and the property owners- with respect.
Landowners participating in the NYS snowmobile trail system are eligible for liability coverage under the blanket NYSSA insurance policy, at no cost to the property owner. Landowners allowing access to snowmobile clubs are also protected by the provisions of the NYS General Obligations Law. The snowmobile club is responsible for proper trail signage and grooming.

NYSSA is a not-for-profit corporation, and therefore its Bylaws are the governing document. If an area of concern is not addressed directly in the Bylaws, the Policy Manual is the next document in precedence.
Topics that are not covered in either document are usually brought to a vote at a Board of Directors meeting. Often new topics emerge that are added to the Policy Manual after approval by the Board.
The bylaws may only be changed by approval of voting Delegates at NYSSA’s Annual Meeting. Bylaw revision forms containing suggested revisions must be submitted no later than 90 days prior to the Annual Meeting, to be considered.
