State snowmobile association to focus on economic impact report from SUNY Potsdam at annual meeting this weekend

Posted

LAKE PLACID -- The New York State Snowmobile Association’s Educational Forum and Annual Meeting this weekend in Lake Placid will focus on an economic impact report from SUNY Potsdam.

Delegates, presenters, and vendors from across the state will convene for meetings and educational seminars pertaining to safety, trails, club operations and public affairs.

“This year is extra special as we will unveil results of the economic impact survey we completed in conjunction with the SUNY Potsdam Institute of Applied Research,” said NYSSA Executive Director Dominic Jacangelo. “Previously completed in 1998 and 2003, this survey will provide an economic assessment of the contribution of snowmobiling to the New York State economy.

NYSSA members can take classes in first aid and CPR, defensive driving, chainsaw safety, and state groomer operator and safety training.

NYSSA, a non-profit corporation, is the largest snowmobile association in the country working on behalf of 135,000 snowmobile owners registered in the state.

The association says it and the 240 snowmobile clubs in the state contribute approximately $1 billion to the New York economy, improve trails, facilities and services for participants, and defend snowmobilers against discriminatory legislation.
