The Trailbusters Snowmobile Club, Inc. is a non-profit snowmobile club founded
in 1966. The club maintains over 41 miles of Class A trails over both public and
private lands. The club provides snowmobile safety education classes and encourages
preservation, conservation and a healthy respect of nature and the environment.
In the News
The Lee Center Trailbusters would like to thank all
of our landowners for their generous cooperation in allowing us to have
trails travel across their property. Without their support, it would
not be possible to have these trails.
 | ALL
TRAILBUSTER SNOWMOBILE TRAILS ARE OFFICIALLY CLOSED FOR THE SEASON.
The
Trailbusters wish to extend a thank you to all of the very gracious
landowners who allowed the use of their land during this very successful
snowmobiling season.
As we state
every year, motorized vehicles of any type, including ATV’s and dirt
bikes, are not permitted to use the trail system during the offseason. The only exception will be for club volunteers who will be closing
gates and fences and removing signs.
If anyone would like to help take signs, fences and guide stakes down,
please give Mark Destito a call at 336-1727. If Mark doesn't answer, please
leave your name and when you are available to help on his answering machine
and he will get back with you. This task can be a good time as you get to
see our trails without snow while riding on our Polaris Ranger.

Trail
Fund Theft!
For those of you who haven't heard, the Governor is trying to take 20% from the
trail fund or $1 million and transfer it to the general fund. We need to send
letters to his office, as well as to all the other legislators that this money is
not theirs to waste. For more information on this RAID, please visit the link at
the New York State Snowmobile Association shown below.

| Safety Course Completed: The club
sponsored a snowmobile safety course at our groomer barn on December 4th and
5th. John Beggs was the course instructor. A terrific
group of kids had a great time learning the safe way to operate a snowmobile
and how to conduct themselves on the trail.

| Here's an Easy
Way to Help the Club - Save Those
Gas Receipts!
The club is again collecting gas receipts for gas purchased for
snowmobile use. The club can
apply for an 8 cent refund from NYS for each gallon used.
If we get enough receipts this could amount to a sizeable refund.
We have a box and signature sheet at Stewart’s in Stokes/State
Route 26N (Trail C7) and Nice N Easy (Trail C7) at Hawkins Corners/State
Route 26N. In addition to
depositing your receipt, you must sign
your name to the sheet for each purchase.
Better yet, save your snowmobile gas receipts from anywhere you
purchase the gasoline. Attach the receipts to your signature sheet,
which can be obtained by clicking on either link below, sign for all your
purchases and mail them to the club at the end of the season, no
later than 15 April 2010. Remember,
only save receipts for gas purchased for snowmobiles. Hopefully, by keeping track of your own purchases we will have a
larger participation rate for this program as many pay at the pump and
don’t make the trip into the store. This
can be a great fundraiser for our groomer fund, please help.

For example: for every 100 gallons purchased, the club receives $8.00. If a
good percentage of the membership (say 300 members) send in their receipts for 100 gallons,
than the club will be reimbursed $2,400. That would be a very, very
successful fund raiser. Again, please help.
