September 2018 Keystone Snowmobiler

MOVING FORWARD

Congratulations to the winners of the recent Voucher Raffle. The Pennsylvania State Snowmobile Association (PSSA) uses these funds to help promote snowmobile recreation in Pennsylvania. We thank you for your participation. The winners are announced elsewhere in the Keystone Snowmobiler.

PSSA lost a good friend to all snowmobilers with the passing of Representative “Flo” Fabrizio of Erie. He and his wife took the time to visit the Presque Isle Snowmobile Club and take a ride. Flo also helped with initiating contact with the Legislature to start work on a proposal to increase the Registration Fee. This project is now being researched by Representative Ryan Bizzarro of Erie.

Recently PSSA announced a small amount of money remaining from two previous mini-grant rounds. Several clubs applied for these mini-grant funds. The Mini-grant Committee met and reviewed requests. Unfortunately the requests far exceeded the money available. Priorities were given to trail maintenance and grooming requests. The Board recently approved the recommendations of the Mini-grant Committee. We are now waiting for approval from DCNR to proceed with the projects. Clubs who did not receive the full grant amount may apply again in a future round.

Last week I was approached by a club to change the Region for which the club was designated years ago. Since their trails have changed they are more closely aligned with another region. Consequently, the Board is now reviewing the possibility of making changes in the Regions of PSSA. These Regions were drawn many years ago. Some clubs and locations have changed. Rich Hayes, a member of the Executive Board, was appointed to Chair a committee to review the Regions and make recommendations to the Board. If you have any suggestions send them to Rich ([email protected]).

Clubs who are making plans to purchase a groomer/drag or other equipment which use steel/aluminum should contact their

local DCNR representative. There are strict requirements for steel/aluminum content as well as location of assembly.

One of the few events that PSSA sponsors each year is the “Clean Snowmobile Challenge”. It is a competition held among college/university students at Michigan Tech on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan each March. The goal is to lower sound, reduce emissions, and increase fuel economy etc. thru research and testing of snowmobile engines and components. This competition is the result of the need to improve the above and meet strict standards for snowmobile use in Yellowstone. Many of our club members benefitted from this competition by being able to ride in Yellowstone this past winter. Thank you for the sponsors and volunteers who help with this event.

Clubs have been working during the hot summer months to improve, expand and maintain our trail system. Volunteers have donated thousands of hours and dollars to make trails safe and available to the general public. Please support our clubs and business partners.

The planning for the PowerSport Show the last weekend of October continues. Please volunteer your time to help. See the ad in the Keystone Snowmobiler.

You can HELP - Spread the word, we need to increase our membership in PSSA.

Ed Klim, PresidentHASLETT, MI,

August 2, 2018: A long lasting cold and snowy winter in much of the snowmobile community, and continued enthusiasm and interest in snowmobiling

powered snowmobile sales to increase worldwide to 124,786 new sleds sold this past year. This is an increase of over 6,100 units, which is a 5 percent gain from last year. Sales in the United States grew to 53,179 new snowmobiles sold‚ a 5 percent gain from last year, while sales in Canada rose over 6.4 percent to 47,024 new snowmobiles sold. The sales increase wasn’t confined to North America. Sales increases were realized in Norway, Sweden, and Finland in Europe.

The snowmobile community is optimistic following the above average late snowfall throughout most of North America this past season. The 2018 manufacturers spring snowmobile shows reported increases in attendance. In many of the spring shows, attendance was up over 20 percent. Spring orders were strong and that points to a good 2019 sales year.

The snowmobile industry reports that registered snowmobiles in North America remained at 2 million registered snowmobiles. Increased registration in Northern Europe continues.

Snowmobile related tourism also increased in North America and beyond. This can be seen in economic impact studies conducted throughout North America by major business colleges and universities. Miles ridden by snowmobilers (which is always predictive of economic impact) showed an increase from the 2017-2018 season. This is a result of riding conditions and improved and expanded riding areas and trail systems.

The average age of a snowmobiler this past season was determined to be 45 years of age. Snowmobilers are active, outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy snowmobiling with family and friends.

Surveys conducted by ISMA have shown that 73 percent of first-time buyers in the snowmobile market purchased a used snowmobile. Many of them are young adults and they move on to purchase a new snowmobile later in life.

The majority of snowmobilers in North America are Club members and/or Association-Federation members (over 60 percent).

These active, involved, outdoor enthusiasts build the trails and support snowmobiling access. Snowmobilers are also active charity fundraisers who raised over $3.5 million dollars for National Charities last year.

The Go Snowmobiling website serves as another strong indicator for the interest in snowmobiling. This year, the Go Snowmobiling site received more than 2.4 million hits. 40 percent of those visitors to the website were new snowmobilers or individuals who do not own a snowmobile but are expressing a great deal of interest in owning a snowmobile and going snowmobiling. 20 percent of the visitors to the site visited the rental outlet pages of the site. Indications are that many of the individuals visiting the rental site do not own a snowmobile but want to rent one during their winter vacation. This high level of interest in renting bodes well for future sales and the growth in the snowmobile rental market.

Additional surveys have found that

snowmobilers are active in many outdoor activities. Snowmobilers are also boaters, motorcycle riders, camping enthusiasts, hunting enthusiasts and general outdoor recreationists.

Many families have discovered that snowmobiling is a great winter recreational activity. Research shows people go snowmobiling for reasons such as viewing the scenery, be with family and friends, to get away from the usual demands of life and be close to nature.

State and provincial snowmobile organizations continue to grow and expand club membership. Many organizations report that new trails are being developed to support the positive economic impact of snowmobiling and job growth for the rural community. Economic impact studies generated by universities in North America show that snowmobiling is growing in importance as part of the overall economic engine and job growth for winter tourism. Studies show that snowmobiling now generates more than $30 Billion Dollars of economic activity in North America. The economic activity generated by snowmobiling provides many jobs and investment opportunities and generates considerable tax revenue for local governments which eagerly support snowmobiling.

Hello all from The Pa. Snowseekers!Hopefully everyone has had a great

summer and all have been as busy as the Snowseekers. Some of us participated in our Annual Clarion River Canoe/Paddle/Float Trip, which has been going on now for quite some time, about 35 years now if you count our earlier expeditions down the Allegheny. We’ve toned it down some and now go from Ridgway to Irwin Run, which is just upstream from Halton. The weather wasn’t quite perfect, but was still well attended on the beautiful Clarion River.

Our next event was our 13th Annual Thunder in the Forest Motorcycle Poker Run, which is always the last Saturday in July. For this event, the weather was spectacular, which was overdue after the last few years! We had 38 bikes riding and over paid 60 attendees for Saturday’s ride, with proceeds going to The Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition and other local breast cancer charities. (see photo on page 7) The Hedge Band provided live music well into the evening after a delicious dinner by O’dellish Catering and the door prizes and auction items were drawn. Thank you to all who attended and helped!

The next event on our summer schedule is our annual Highland Open golf outing, which has also been going on for quite some time, probably 35 years or so. It has been held at various layouts throughout the years, with this

year’s being held back at the beautiful Pine Acres C.C. in Bradford, PA. on August 25th. While it will be held after this issue goes to press, I’m sure we will have the usual Snowseeker duffers attending, along with their guests. I can’t wait!

Like most clubs in Pennsylvania, we are always looking for ways to press on with this crazy sport we all love, which brings me to our next event, our 1st Annual Parts-A-Rama, to be held at our Highland Haven clubhouse grounds in Elk County on September 28th and 29th. This will be a buy all, sell all event, so bring your sleds, parts, clothing, trailers, ATV’s, etc. Overnight camping and food will also be available. There will also be a vintage sled area, so let’s see who has what to show off from the other clubs! The Pa. Snowseekers clubhouse is located at 13026 Route 948, Highland Corners, PA. 16735. Call Scott for more info @(724)272-6702 or at [email protected]. It should be a beautiful time to be out in Pennsylvania and start thinking snow, or visit the elk herd and make it a week-end. See you there!

While there you can also tour our beautiful Highland Haven clubhouse. We are currently accepting applications for both Regular and Associate Membership applications. For our Regular membership, you must own at least 1 registered snowmobile in Pennsylvania.

Our Associate memberships are limited to 12 members who would like to use the clubhouse for outdoor recreation such as ATV riding (the Timberline Trailhead is less than 1 mile from our clubhouse), hunting, fishing, etc. in beautiful Elk County, PA. We will have all membership apps available at the Parts-A-Rama, so give us a look while there and ask any member for details.

That’s about it for now. See you soon and in the meantime, Think Snow!

PA SNOWSEEKERS SMC HYNER MOUNTAIN SMCHello from Hyner Mountain Snowmobile Club.

Just want to let everyone know what has been happening, and what is about to happen, up on the mountain. Well, not a lot has been happening due to its being summer and we pretty much shut down for the summer months right after our Annual June Chicken Bar-b-que. Speaking of which, the bar-b-que this year was a great time had by all who attended. The weather cooperated, the meal and desserts were good, but most importantly was the daylong gathering of both current and past members.

Well, as you’re reading this, summer is starting to wind down; hopefully everyone had a great and safe one! WOW, did it ever rain!! Could you just imagine if this winters’ snowmobile season would provide as much snowfall for as many days as it had rained this summer? That would possibly be the best riding season in many, many years! That being said, all we can hope for is a good old fashioned winter with cold temperatures and a lot of snow.

The time is rapidly approaching for us to start getting our sleds, trailers, and riding equipment ready for the new snowmobile season; which, by the way, is only 123 days away as this article was being written.

Well that’s about all for now. Talk to ya next month.

THINK SNOW!!Dan Casey

MARIENVILLE TRAIL RIDERS SMC

The Marienville Trail Riders Snowmobile Club have been busy this past summer doing work on the trails and preventative maintenance on their two groomers. The BR180 is ready to go and the Track Truck is having some fine-tuning issues done with the drive train. Thanks to Hank Bauer and Jerry Beichner for all their work. (see 3 photos at right) The club just purchased another fuel tank with electric pump which should make refueling much faster.

The club will have their first meeting September 9 starting at 2. The picnic will be held at the Thornton residence which is located at 323 West Maple Street, Marienville. A meeting will be held after to discuss the Michigan trip. Club meetings will continue monthly on the second Sunday of the month starting at 2pm at the Kelly Hotel.

The club will be having their meeting with Highland Snow Seekers, Forest County Snowmobile Club and the US Forest Service on Saturday, November 10 at the MACA building in Marienville starting at 9am.

The Marienville Club will be co-sponsoring a safety class with the Forest County SMC at the MACA building on January 12, 2019 starting at 8 am. SEE YOU AT THE PICNIC!

Jerry Thornton

FOREST COUNTY SNOWMOBILE CLUBVolunteers, where would we all be without

them? It’s amazing what a couple of hard working guys, a couple pieces of equipment, 4 loads of stone, a couple of pieces of culvert pipe and an extra large spray can of Off bug spray can do for a snowmobile trail. When we are riding a snowmobile down a trail, we take for granted the grooming that was done by volunteers to make our day out even more enjoyable.

It starts with a good base, and if there isn’t one, then it has to be built. We have had an extra hot summer but that didn’t stop Terry Wood and Larry Martin from getting a lot of improvements done on Trail 21 in the Allegheny National Forest. (see photo at bottom right) In a couple of months we will be trimming back brush on several trails in our area.

Now it is time for the snow to fly and to get out our toys. I know, patience is not my strong suit.

The Pennsylvania Powersports Show in October gives us all a chance to visit with fellow snowmobilers from across the State. It’s nice to catch up with friends, compare notes on projects in our respective areas and plan rides for the upcoming season. See ya there.

In early 2017, we started putting together the history of people and businesses that sold snowmobiles “back in the good old days”. After starting with YorkCounty, the momentum was already going and we expanded it state-wide. Snowmobiles started to become popular in the early 1960’s. By 1970, there were about 130 different manufacturers, and there were more than 265 brand names of snowmobiles being sold ! Snowmobiles could be bought at small “mom & pop” shops, (often in garages), as well as at large stores such as Sears, Montgomery Ward, and JC Penney. During 1973-75, the so-called “energy crisis” combined with several poor snow winters spelled the end of many of these manufacturers and brands. Today, there are four (4) major manufacturers of snowmobiles. That number has remained constant since the 1985 model year. We are interested in the places that sold snowmobiles not later than 1982-84 or so. We are attempting to record the history of as many of the “old time” dealers that sold snowmobiles as we can. The following pages have them listed in alphabetical order by Counties, then alphabetically by Town names. The number in ( - ) behind each County name is the total known so far. The second number is the number of snowmobile dealers in that county today, if known. (46 counties so far, of 67 total)

VINTAGE FLASHBACKS

continued on page 15


Hello from the Laurel Highlands!

We are enthusiastic about the Laurel Highlands Snowmobile Club drag races. We have had racers come to compete from all over. They arrive with vintage, mini, stock, and modified sleds. Maybe this will be the year we set more track records. It is interesting to watch what they can do. Maybe you are the racer instead of the spectator. In that case, we hope you set your personal best times. The races will be held this year on Sunday, September 16, 2018, and Sunday, October 14, 2018. The workday to set up for the races is the Saturday before each race. The races are held under guidance of the race committee with Allan and Shelia Knupp in charge. All questions about the races can be obtained thru [email protected]. Check out www.lhsc.net for up to date information on all club activities.

Our annual end of summer club picnic was held Saturday, August 11,

2018. The club provided drinks, hot dogs, hamburgers, and fresh corn on the cob. Members were asked to bring a covered dish to share. There was a variety of sweet treats like brownies, Jello, homemade pie, and zucchini bread, salads of every type, and casserole dishes. Member Joe Klink brought his 1950 Dodge pickup truck to this event so, the DJ played Car Cruise Music hits from the 50’s and 60’s. After we had eaten from the buffet numerous times, we were treated to our annual hayride out to Seven Springs resort. Bob Ainsley and his wife, Ann, took us on a beautiful 90-minute ride in the beautiful Laurel Highlands. Thank you, Bob and Ann.

The annual Safety Class will be held on Saturday, November 10, 2018, from 8:30 AM to 4:30PM. It will be held at the clubhouse under the direction of 6 qualified, certified, and clearance checked instructors. If you sign your

child up for the class, plan on taking the class with them for the day. We believe in a hands-on class for a total of 8 hours. There is no charge for the class and we will feed you. The oldest person to take our class was 84 years of age. If you don’t like good food, good fellowship, and hands on instruction, you can take the class online for $29.50 in just 1.5 - 2 hours. You decide, we know what is best. The class will be held at the Laurel Highlands Snowmobile Clubhouse from 8:30 A.M.---4:30 P.M. on November 10, 2018. You can register by contacting Jim Wilkinson at [email protected] or by phone 724-925-2073.

Our last item is the club banquet which will be held on Friday, November16, 2018, at Bell’s Banquet Hall. The buffet is stocked with delicious choices. The award ceremony will be held for the Member of the Year, and several prizes will be given out. Doc Lewis and his wife oversee this event and we look forward to it. Keep the date open for an evening of snowmobile talk with a roomful of people who enjoy our sport. A few nice door prizes will be awarded. Additional information will be forwarded to members in the future.

Until next time - live life to its fullest.Jim Wilkinson & Shelly Buckles

PSSA Regions

Another year has gone by and we are getting ready for the annual PSSA Powersports Show, again this year at the Lebanon Expo Center.

If you are not familiar with how you can sell your equipment at the Powersports Show, here is a quick explanation: Bring your equipment and walk to the Used Sled Corral table. Fill out a 3-part carbon-less form for each item. You can save time by printing a sample form from the website (www.papowersports.com) and filling in all the info before coming to the show. Then transfer the info to the 3-part form. Pay the fee for each unit. Our friendly volunteers will then unload sleds and move trailers into the building. We do the rest!

On the form you will list the selling price and indicate if you are firm or

negotiable on that price. You will list a ‘bottom line’ price if you choose negotiable. Our volunteers will not reveal the ‘bottom line’ to a potential buyer, but will attempt to get the highest price for you. If we sell your unit, we collect the money and hold it for you. Machines or money must be claimed no later than 5 pm on Sunday, an hour after the show closes.

Those machines that are not sold during the show are often sold later, as a result of someone seeing it at the show. They tell another person in the days following the show, that person calls for info, and the deal is made!

For current PSSA members, the fee for each unit (sled, trailer, motorcycle, or ATV) placed in the Corral will be $25.00.

Pay the fee when you arrive with your machine.

For the non-members, we will not require that they join PSSA, but the fee for them will be $60.00 per unit. If they wish to join, they will save ten bucks by doing so, as the consignment fee will be $25., and the membership is $25., for a total of only $50.00.

For those persons buying a unit, PSSA members can make a purchase with no extra charge, non-members will be charged a fee of $35.00.

We expect most non-members to recognize the value of PSSA membership and make a decision to join (so they can save the extra ten bucks!). If a person does not wish to join, PSSA gets the additional ten dollars!

2018 USED SLED (And Other Toys) CORRAL One very important feature of the Used Sled Corral is the great group of volunteers that make it happen. Over the years we have learned to know a number of fine folks who help at the Corral, some help a few hours and others help many hours. Each and every one is appreciated; we can’t do it without you. For those of you who would like to join us and help with the Used Sled Corral, please contact us at the KEYSTONE SNOWMOBILER. (717)633-5051 or [email protected] We will be glad to hear from you.
