WE NEED YOUR HELP!! We have trail work parties every Saturday and Sunday from Labor Day Weekend until all the signs are up and trails are open.

Bring your 4-wheelers, chain saws, or just come and help clear brush, and post trail signs with us. Lunch is usually provided, call Chris Jaynes @ 716-326-4772, Bill Ottaway @ 716-753-0504 or Steve Smith @ 716-792-9802/(clscpresident@chautauquasnow.com) to get on a scheduled work party.

Those who work 15 hours on the trails will receive a 10% Bonus Program Gold Card, and those who work 25 or more hours will earn a 15% Platinum Card. This program makes it easy for the membership and businesses to share the costs of trail maintenance. After all, we both benefit from well maintained and groomed trails!

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. It only means one thing… WINTER IS COMING! It’s time to pull those sleds out of storage and get them ready to hit the trails this winter.

The CLSC Board Members and Club Officers are working hard on developing a plan to make this the best season ever by improving trails, updating groomers, grooming equipment(drags), signage, widening trails, and bridges.

The Club is always looking for members that can come out and lend a hand to get the trails ready. It may sound like hard work, but you get a good feeling that you helped and made a difference to your trail system that we all love to ride in the winter. Please check the club website for upcoming work parties.

If you can’t come out and help with trail maintenance please help the club by donating to the Groomer Fund. 100% of your donations go directly to the groomer fund which helps pay for things like diesel, parts, drags, new groomers and safety equipment so you don’t encounter a groomer head on! Also, I would like to thank members for making CLSC the largest snowmobile club in NYS with close to 2300 members! This could not have happened without you!

Don’t forget to check out the club activity card when you receive your membership package. Every weekend during the riding season we have an event going on whether it’s a dinner ride or a member part at various locations! We are the only club in Chautauqua County to offer something to our members EVERY weekend and that’s what makes it worth joining the Chautauqua County Snowmobile Club!

I would like to start out by thanking all of you for making the Chautauqua Lake Snowmobile Club one the largest snowmobile clubs in New York State with over 2300 members!

I would like to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Beth Perry and I have taken over the Membership Coordinator postion for CLSC. I'm so excited to be stepping in as Membership Coordinator! I have been working along with Brandy the last couple of years and hope to keep up the excellent job she has been doing. I feel that consistent increase in memberships just shows that the CLSC is the best out there.

Well it’s hard to believe that it’s that time of year again… So, you have received your snowmobile registrations in the mail and you’re wondering, what is the easiest way to receive the club membership discount and register my snowmobiles? There are several options to pick from:

You can join CLSC by mailing your membership application directly to the membership coordinator @ CLSC membership, 5600 Springbrook Rd, Dewittville, NY 14728. Please allow 2 weeks for processing time.

You can join our club online with a credit card via the NYSSA website @ https://membership.nyssnowassoc.org/ and receive your voucher immediately. If you are registering through the NYSSA you will not have the ability to buy a clubhouse keys or join our trail bonus program during the checkout process.

You can also apply for a CLSC membership in person at any Chautauqua County DMV office should you wait until the last minute to register your sled. The DMV has membership applications located in their offices. We do encourage everyone to sign up as early as possible so we can get the money into the trails to help pay for gas and maintenance on equipment.

To view all the benefits of our club please view our membership page on the website.

If you have not received your membership within two weeks please feel free to call and check on the status. Please be patient, all the work that is done for the CLSC is voluntary and is done around our full time jobs.
