Membership:

JOIN WHERE YOU RIDE:
RIDE CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY

There are a couple ways to obtain a membership with any of the five snowmobile clubs based here in Chautauqua County:

1)   Get your membership via The New York State Snowmobile Association (NYSSA) website.
      Enter your information, pay with your credit card, print your own Discount Voucher for registration.
      For the past couple of years it has been frustrating since clubs do not get timely notification of memberships from NYSSA.
      Clubs would wait a couple weeks (more like a month) for notification of a new/renewed membership.
      Meanwhile members call their club and ask: When will they get their membership package with their new map?
      But the club has not received any notice that they joined via NYSSA's website and this puts a big delay into the process.
      NYSSA has claimed that starting with this season, the clubs will be notified weekly. (Hope so, will save lots of frustration.)
      If you choose this route, please come back to us and use our Store webpage (coming in 2010) for:
                          extra maps             (for guests or get a map for each of your other sleds)
                          clubhouse keys       (must be a member of that particular club)
                          discount cards        (Trail Sponsor Discount Cards: get discounts at participating businesses)
                          club stickers           (for your sled, helmet, or truck)
                          club hats                (proudly show off your club and to cover up that messy hair after wearing a helmet)
                          club apparel           (proudly show off your club, wear everywhere you go)

2)   Print out the paper membership form for the club of your choice.
      Fill it out at home. Write a personal check for the correct amount.
      Insert both into an envelope addressed to your club and get it to the Post Office.
      If you choose this route, please remember you can still come back to us and use our Store webpage for:
                          extra maps             (for guests or get a map for each of your other sleds)
                          clubhouse keys       (must be a member of that particular club)
                          discount cards        (Trail Sponsor Discount Cards: get discounts at participating businesses)
