“Our volunteers work with their hands,” said Adams. “It’s
not an easy job, spending time outside in freezing temperatures,
working a snow machine entirely for the benefit
of others.”
It’s not merely the winter months that keep members busy.
Year-round maintenance remains a top priority for the club.
Members volunteer their time, including the use of personal
equipment such as backhoes, dump trucks, brush hogs and
other heavy equipment for building and maintaining trails.
Volunteers also routinely update way-finding and advisory
signage for trail users.
CNY Snow Travelers also holds events including cookouts
and barbecues, and the club participates in friendly competition
with other clubs in the form of snowmobile races. Even
though riding snowmobiles remains a large draw for members
and visitors, the club also offers a youth safety course.
“The safety class is for 10-year-old kids to learn the rules
and regulations of snowmobiling,” Adams said. “We want
them to go out and get their certificate so they can ride safely.”
Adams says they look to the future generation to take on
the club’s operations and invest in its future. The youth safety
course aims to ensure that happens.
“Technology takes kids away from nature,” said Adams.
“Our youth-oriented class provides future generations of
snowmobilers with the tools and skills to continue maintaining
these trails. We want them to become good citizens.”
Interested parties can learn more about these events
through CNY Snow Travelers’ website, newsletters, social
media and monthly meetings. CNY Snow Travelers also
actively posts on their Facebook page. Posts detail the maintaining
and grooming of the trails, complete with on-site pictures
and club anecdotes.
Finally, CNY Snow Travelers always looks for opportunities
to fundraise for the club and humbly receives donations
whenever possible. Visit www.cnysnowtravelers.com to
