Lincoln Mt / Gansevoort Snowmobile Club http://lmgsc.com Northern Saratoga County Snowmobiling Thu, 01 Mar 2012 15:42:31 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Trails Remain CLOSED http://lmgsc.com/2012/03/trails-remain-closed/ http://lmgsc.com/2012/03/trails-remain-closed/#comments Thu, 01 Mar 2012 15:42:31 +0000 rjman99 http://lmgsc.com/?p=229 Although this storm looked promising it did not produce enough snow for us to safely open the trails. Our groomers took the Kubota out to assess the conditions and because we lack a base we cannot open the trails. There are too many fields that have been plowed already and waterholes and streams that have not frozen over for us to safely open our trails.

Don’t be distressed though as it wasn’t until mid-January of last year that we had enough cover to open the trails providing us with ample base for excellent riding conditions most of the season.
We’d like to take the time to acknowledge and thank our Groomer Operators whom volunteered over 450 hours of their time last season to maintain our trails smoothing and pulling snow to provide a well groomed trail system of over 32 miles from Schuylerville, through Bacon Hill, Northumberland, Gansevoort, Moreau, Wilton, and up the mountain through Greenfield Center to Corinth. As always when you come upon one of our groomers out on the trail doing their job, pull to the right and allow ample room for them to pass by. They have the right of way.
Listed below by hours groomed in descending order with the top four groomers hours listed are:
• Brian Wrisley – 114 hours
• Bill Gavin – 96 hours
• Jeff Trainor – 64 hours
• Wes Garnsey – 59 hours
• Gary Matthews
• Kevin Wells
• Dan Shipski
• Steve Shill
• Ken Scribner
• Craig Lafave
• Russ Mantz
• Rich Slater
• Zack Mantz
• Jim Warren

A groomer safety training course was offered last April in which fourteen volunteers offered several hours of their time to be properly trained to operate club groomers. Much thanks to all that attended and expressed an interest in helping this upcoming season. We look forward to a season which will provide all an opportunity to ride LMGSC’s Club trails and as always please ride safely and respectfully.

You should be receiving your snowmobile registration renewal form from the DMV anytime now. Did you know by renewing your membership and sending your registration in early you help the NYS Parks Department do a better job budgeting club funds for the year? Our grant funding is based solely upon registrations received prior to December 1.

Why join a club? #1 reason – to support the club that maintains the trails that you ride on! 100% of your club membership dues is used for the purpose of maintaining over 32 miles of trail starting in Schuylerville, connecting to Bacon Hill, Northumberland, Gansevoort, Moreau, Wilton, Greenfield Center and Corinth. Our Club consists of volunteers only with six grooming machines purchased with grant funds but maintained and operated with membership dues to groom its trails. Without our members we do not have the resources needed to provide our volunteers with the materials needed to keep our trails in optimum riding condition. What happens if you choose not to join a local club and pay the registration trail fund fee? Your $$ is dispersed throughout NYS to other clubs and each year we have had to fight to keep NYS from raiding the fund for other purposes. So please join our club and pass this on to your friends and neighbors that ride letting them know that we keep the funds here in our community maintaining the trails you ride on.

Two bridges were replaced by culverts in an effort to eliminate some of the yearly bridge maintenance. Volunteers have been busy signing and cutting back brush on the trails getting them ready for the upcoming snow season.

Bridges Replaced
