NYS OPRHP releases new Trail Grooming DVD

September 1, 2009 by admin 

The purpose of this DVD is to act as a resource and provide guidelines for grooming recreational snowmobile trails that will help improve the quality of trails and the effectiveness of grooming efforts and expenditures.

The DVD covers

  • proper operation & maintenance of grooming equipment;
  • trail grooming objectives, principles & practices; and
  • trail grooming safety issues.

The DVD also serves to increase rider awareness of snowmobile trail grooming requirements and practices, including the need for snowmobilers to allow proper set up time on freshly groomed trails, and safe operation procedures for snowmobilers meeting groomers on the trail.

New York trails and club grooming equipment, along with other trails and equipment found throughout the northeastern United States, were used in the production of this DVD.

The DVD has been divided into 7 segments of about 20 minutes each, for easier viewing and downloading.

NYSSA wishes to thank OPRHP for their time and effort spent on producing this project, and for allowing us to share it on our website. Copies will be distributed to NYSSA Member Clubs this season.

Episodes will be released as they are uploaded.  Here is the Introduction to Trail Grooming Section.
