SAFETY CLASS REMINDER
Attention Clubs, Dealers, Safety Instructors - Please schedule your Safety Class dates as soon as possible and send the information to the Keystone Snowmobiler
for inclusion in our Master List of Snowmobile Safety Classes.
Lori Elliott
Executive Director
Greetings,
Pennsylvania
Snowmobilers!
September is an
exciting month for
the Pennsylvania
State Snowmobile Association (PSSA) because
it is our annual chance to encourage you to
join the only organization
in
Pennsylvania
that
protects
and
promotes
snowmobiling . We have sent this
issue of our “Keystone Snowmobiler” to you
so you can learn more about us and see what
we have to offer. As a member, you would
receive an issue each month and would stay
up to date with snowmobiling activities, issues
and opportunities throughout the state!
Our
Mission
Statement
is: “PSSA is a statewide
membership organization
committed to enhancing the
Pennsylvania snowmobiling
experience
of
family
recreation,
fellowship,
and tourism, by striving to
assure high quality trails
and safe, environmentallyresponsible
recreational
use of snowmobiles”.
Our association works hard in many ways
toward fulfilling our mission. See “Why
Join PSSA” and “Top Ten
Reasons
Your
Business
Should Join PSSA” elsewhere in
this paper for a sampling of what we have
accomplished in the 42 years we have been in
existence and see the benefits of membership.
You can see more recent activity in the
report, “A Year in Review”. In
addition…
Did you know...For the latest
snow information, we have images from two
webcams streaming to our website, www.
pasnow.org , along with links to clubs’
Headquarters’ Headlines
webcams? We will soon post images from two
more webcams!
Did you know… We host the “PA
Powersports Show” each year?
You will find new and used sleds and ATVs,
trailers, motorcycles, used clothing and other
snowmobiling accessories at our annual trade
show! This is our biggest fundraiser to support
our programs so please come with your
friends on October 26-28 to the Lebanon Expo
Center in Lebanon, PA. You can find more
information at www.papowersports.
com. We hold the annual auction
on Saturday at noon and
raffle drawings for a SkiDoo snowmobile and two
Blizzard trailers on Sunday
at 3:30 at the Show. You will be able to
purchase raffle tickets at the show or you can
contact the PSSA office or any board member,
club or business member to obtain tickets. If
you’d like to volunteer and help out, please
contact Franz Martin at franz5904@
hotmail.com or 410-549-4688.
Did you know…PSSA will offer
a Youth Safety Class for ages 10-15 on
October 27th during the show? You can call
me at 1-888-411-PSSA to register your son or
daughter for this class. A schedule of other
youth safety classes being held throughout
the state by our member clubs can be seen
elsewhere in this newspaper each month and
on our website, www.pasnow.org.
Did you know…To facilitate safety
on trails, we supply and coordinate the posting
of navigational signs? You may have seen
some in Erie and Potter Counties. We will soon
post signs in seven more counties through our
Signs Project (Phase II) grant from DCNR.
Did you know… We work to build
relationships and connections with DCNR
forestry personnel and gas companies to
facilitate alternate trails where drilling occurs?
Did you know… We have a separate
“Snow Angel” charity fund? Members donate
to this fund, and our regional directors
nominate children in their areas with
special needs whose families need financial
assistance. Families of children up to the age
of 18 can receive a $500 grant from this fund
and our directors give small grants each year
for the holidays. We grant approximately
$5,000 per year through this fund!
Did
you
know…We also
have a FACEBOOK page, “Pennsylvania
Snowmobiling”? You can go to at www.
facebook.com/pasnow to interact with
our over 9,400 fans on snowmobiling issues
and events!
One of the benefits of being a current
member of PSSA is a free accidental death &
dismemberment insurance policy up to $3,000
through American Income Life Insurance
(AIL). Just last month, we contacted our
AIL representative for a person with a PSSA
family membership who needed to file a
claim for this insurance. We are pleased that
this program will be of assistance to him. If
you are a current or former PSSA member,
you should have recently received information
from AIL. Be sure to check the expiration date
of your PSSA membership on the envelope
label to see if you are a current member.
We also have a partnership with Liberty Mutual
insurance, through which you can receive a
discount on home and auto insurance through
a PSSA membership. This partnership benefits
PSSA in that we receive a percentage when
our members sign up for coverage with them.
This company also graciously sponsored the
production of our membership cards and key
tags. Some of our business members offer
discounts when you show this card!
We have provided a membership form in this
newspaper that lists the different types of
memberships. If you’re not a PSSA member,
we hope that you will seriously consider joining
the PSSA and help to secure the future of
snowmobiling for everyone in Pennsylvania!
If you join now, you will
receive 15 issues of the
“Keystone Snowmobiler”
and 15 months of the above
benefits for the price of 12!
Did you know…You can easily join
or renew your PSSA membership through
our website with a credit card? Just click the
“Join Now” button on our website,
complete the membership form, and pay with
a credit card.
There are over 37,000 people who register
snowmobiles in our state. If everyone would
pay the nominal fee of $25 per year to help
our association work, that would bring in
$925,000 per year, and if every business and
club associated with snowmobiling would join
at the low fee of $35 per year…..imagine
what more we could accomplish!
Looking forward to a great snowmobiling
season.
TOP TEN REASONS FOR
YOUR BUSINESS
TO JOIN PSSA
# 10: Inexpensive: The membership fee is only $35 per year.
#9: Print Exposure. Business Members of PSSA have their
name, address and phone number published in every issue of
the Keystone Snowmobiler. That breaks down to less than $3.00
per month! Thousands of people see the paper each month – not
just thousands of random people, but people who have a sincere
interest in your products, services or facilities.
#8: Internet Exposure. Business Members of PSSA have their
name, address and phone number on the PSSA website under
“Cool Associates” or “Cool Dealers”. This is constant exposure that
runs 24/7, all year long. Divide it out and it comes to about eight
(8) cents a day! The potential audience is limitless!
#7: Discounts. PSSA Membership entitles you to a discount
on any advertising you elect to place in the monthly Keystone
Snowmobiler. Business members also have the opportunity to
participate in discounted marketing opportunities that PSSA
pursues.
#6: Representation in Harrisburg and in the nation.
When someone introduces legislation affecting snowmobiling,
good or bad, PSSA is ready to support whatever is in the best
interest of its members. We monitor issues in Harrisburg and
being a member of PSSA also means that the American Council of
Snowmobile Associations looks out for you in Washington. You get
representation with your membership!
#5: Influence. PSSA is a member of the State Snowmobile/
ATV Advisory Council, which gives direction to DCNR in Harrisburg
and throughout the State. Your membership gives the members
of SAAC more clout and effectiveness. PSSA is taking the lead to
establish connector trails to allow snowmobiling across the entire
northern tier counties of Pennsylvania and in making trails safer
and more user-friendly with intersection signs and 911 location
stickers.
#4: Job Security. Did you know that several years ago a
bill was introduced in Harrisburg that would have outlawed riding
a snowmobile after dark, even on the owners’ property? PSSA
stopped that proposal before it ever passed the first Committee!
And some years before that, it was PSSA that initiated legislation
legalizing 102” wide trailers. How could a dealer sell new
snowmobiles today if customers couldn’t have the right size trailer
to haul them?
#3: Staying up to date with everything pertaining to
snowmobiling - not just here in Pennsylvania but around the US
and Canada, too. The research conducted by the American Council
of Snowmobile Associations and the International Snowmobile
Congress is available for you to provide correct answers to the
questions that customers ask. See www.snowmobilers.org or www.
gosnowmobiling.org ! We also now have the capability to send
e-mail alerts.
#2: Customers. Being a supporter of their sport encourages
snowmobilers to patronize your business! Impress your customers
by supporting the only organization looking out for their privilege
to snowmobile. Many people mistakenly think that snowmobiling
is a right, and that public lands will always be available for
snowmobiling. This statement is not true! If it were not for PSSA
and other state and provincial organizations, there undoubtedly
would be very few trails and much less grooming being done.
And the NUMBER ONE reason to belong to PSSA: It supports
the sport and industry of snowmobiling in Pennsylvania!
Show your support with a PSSA membership!

MOVING FORWARD
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped
with summer trail maintenance projects across
the state. Most clubs have projects that need
attention during the summer months. Work
continues in the Allegheny National Forest,
Warren, Somerset County, Pymatuning, Erie/
Crawford, Elk, McKean, Potter, and Tioga,
Clearfield and the Far East (and all areas not
mentioned). Volunteers such as Jim Wolfe
from the Kane area have spent many years
helping where needed. I am sure every club
has a person or persons such as Jim who has
kept projects moving forward. Take time to
thank them if you haven’t already.
The Pennsylvania State Snowmobile Association (PSSA) is in the process of updating the
web-site. Check it often. www.pasnow.
org
Reminder- you can complete your new or renewal
membership on line with a
credit card. Help spread the word to
your friends and fellow riders to support the
organization that is working to enhance the
trail system throughout the state. PSSA
needs more members to
support and help improve
the trail system across the
state.
All snowmobile clubs add
a significant value to the
state trail system and the
economy. Most clubs also contribute to
local charities.
What can you do to help?
 Become a member of PSSA
(it costs less than a case of beer or
a good haircut or trip to the mall or
a night out)
 Join a club
 Volunteer to help with projects on local/state/federal trails
 Volunteer/attend the Fall
Show (call Franz Martin – 1-410549-4688 to volunteer)
 Sell/Buy a used sled/ good
used clothing at the Show
 Contribute a worthwhile
item to the Auction
 Buy lots of raffle tickets
 Support the PSSA charitable
“Snow Angel Fund” – buy tickets
 Keep your local, state and
national representatives abreast of
the needs of snowmobiling both locally and nationally
PSSA recently distributed over $98,000 to
clubs for trail maintenance and grooming projects. These funds are the result of many hours
of work by PSSA to obtain grants each year.
These grants not only involve the writing and
submission of a proposal but they also require
many hours of documentation and follow up
with clubs. Clubs must show a 20% match in
either funds or volunteer labor/equipment.
They are not a free ride. Unfortunately there
is no guarantee that PSSA will receive these
funds. We are now patiently awaiting word of
the results of a recent grant proposal.
These grants require real data to support the
request for funds. PSSA needs to update data
to show total club worth. To acquire
this information PSSA will
soon begin an on-line survey of clubs to gather information in support of larger
grants to PSSA. This survey will be
answered on line and used as needed to acquire more funds to help fund projects across
the state.
In addition to the volunteer hours/labor/
equipment already mentioned clubs also accumulate many hours/labor/equipment over
and above what is needed to cover grants.
They have more expenses than what the
current grants can cover. Most other states
( to make a comparison ) reimburse clubs
for grooming and trail maintenance based
on the number of miles groomed and maintained. This varies from $300 - $500 dollars
a mile. The return on this investment shows
in the quality of trails in other areas and the
effect the trails have on the state economy. PA
has approximately 5500 miles of trail. We
cannot improve the system
without more consistent financial backing.
We received word today that Glen Knisely,
GPS/Signage Co-coordinator, can begin Phase
II of the GPS/Signage Project. Glen will be
contacting individual clubs to work out the
details of what needs to be
done in Crawford thru Tioga counties. Eventually
all counties will be a part
of this project. All trails
will be placed on maps
and this information will
be made available on the
PSSA web-site. Also standard state signage will be
placed on trails using a
county-number system.
The fourth SnoCam was
delivered to Clearfield
Hilltop Howlers. You can
view all the SnoCams on
the PSSA web-site. Steve
Matscherz, Director, has
been helping clubs with
the details of installing
these SnoCams.
Finally, I recently met with
representatives of the Laurel Highland Clubs and the
Department of Forestry
and State Parks in Somerset County. Thanks
to Dave McCarty, Kerri Schott, Steve Matscherz,
Todd and Barry Harcum, Neil Diamond and
Shelly Buckles for taking time off work to be a
part of this meeting. The cooperation of Mike
Mumau and Kevin Blair from Laurel Hill State
Park and Ed Callahan from Forestry is greatly
appreciated. This is just one example in the
state where a working partnership has helped
produce the Laurel Highland Bridge and the
75 miles of trail along the Laurel Highland
Ridge. Much work has been done during the
past twenty years to improve this system.
Plans are now being formulated to connect
this trail system and make it one trail along
the ridge. The results of a project are always
more positive when clubs work with others
from the beginning of a project. This project
will take time and patience to complete but it
can be done. Somerset County Tourism is also
interested in increasing tourism in this area.
Thanks to Glades Pike Inn Bed and Breakfast
for providing valuable information concerning
this area.
The next PSSA Board meeting will be held by
Conference Call on Wednesday, September 5,
2012. Call or e-mail your suggestions to the
Office 72 hours before the meeting. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Four months until riding season officially
opens.
Think Snow!

WINTERS OF 2012, 2013, 2014
COULD BE FRIGID
By Kirstie Hettinga,
AccuWeather.com Staff Writer
AccuWeather.com Long Range Expert Joe
Bastardi believes there is a significant chance
for particularly frigid winters in 2012-2013 and
2013-2014 into 2014-2015.
Bastardi said these winters could be similar
to winters of the late 1970s.
He said, “While the most consistent of the
cold is to the north, severe bouts of cold deep
into Texas and Florida would be capable of affecting agriculture more so than we’ve seen in
that last 20 years or so.”
A combination of factors that parallel the
precursors to historically cold winters is leading
Bastardi to this forecast.
He said, “We have a cold Pacific now. We
had a La Nina, El Nino, then a stronger La Nina
[similar to the cycle] that happened in the early
to mid ‘70s that set up the winters of the late
‘70s.”
The winters of the late 1970s were particularly cold. Bastardi believes the winters of
2012-2013, 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 will
be similar. These weather patterns, plus the wild
cards of volcanic activity and solar activity, have
Bastardi looking ahead.
“The last time we had arctic volcanoes
go off, in 1912 - similar to what we had two
winters ago - the winters three years removed
got very bad across the United States,” Bastardi
said.
“If we put together the combination of La
Nina, El Nino, La Nina again and we look at
what happened when that happened before
with a cold Pacific, and we also understand that
the volcanoes may be involved along with the
low sunspot activity, one could come to the conclusion that a series of very cold winters... could
be on the way,” he said.
Bastardi said this is all part of a natural
pattern of reversal which he believes will lead
to a crash in global temperatures over the next
nine months, from the very warm levels set
off by El Nino - as forecast globally by AccuWeather.com.
In the longer term, this is all part of a cyclical event which Bastardi believes will return the
earth’s temperatures by 2030 back to where
they were in the late ‘70s at the end of the last
cold PDO [Pacific Decadal Oscillation, or El Nino-like pattern] and the beginning of the satellite era of measuring temperatures objectively.

pssa
mini-grant
coordinator
by Julia Bogue
Hello, everyone!
PSSA and its
member clubs
have worked
really
hard
to
protect
and promote
snowmobiling
in Pennsylvania.
As Mini-Grants
Coordinator I see documentation of many
hours of labor by volunteers of snowmobile
clubs on trail maintenance and grooming.
Through our “Consolidated Grants” Project,
thirteen snowmobile clubs in Pennsylvania
have benefited from PSSA’s mini-grants
in Rounds I and II. We received several
applications for Round III, which will be the
final round of our grant.
At the time of this printing, our Mini-grants
Sub-Committee met by conference call to
recommend mini-grant funding from these
applications. As soon as we receive approval
from the PSSA board and DCNR, these clubs
will be notified and their projects can begin.
The dates for Round III projects will be the
date of approval through January 31, 2013.
We have extended the ending date for those
of you with Round II mini-grants to December
31, 2012 so that you can have extra time to
work on your trails and, hopefully, groom this
winter. You may submit receipts for expenses
between the dates of February 1, 2012 through
December 31, 2013. Reports will be due by
January 15, 2013
If you have any questions, you may call me
at 1-888-411-PSSA (7772) or email me at
[email protected].
The mini-grants project is financed in part by
a grant from the Community Conservation
Partnerships
Program,
Pennsylvania
Recreational Trails Program funded through
the Federal Highway Administration, under
the administration of the Pennsylvania
Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources, Bureau of Recreation and
Conservation. Its purpose is to help clubs
repair and maintain trails and grooming
equipment and assist with grooming
expenses. The clubs have proposed a number
of projects for trail maintenance, grooming
and restoration in their areas.
Have a great snowmobiling season!

the general welfare and safety of snowmobiling and to serve the interests of snowmobile
owners. To develop a fraternal spirit among
local snowmobilers and others including winter
sports enthusiasts, merchants, landowners and
other outdoor enthusiast. To provide a medium
for the exchange of snowmobiling information,
to own or lease property for Club use, and to
perform all desirable and lawful functions for
the successful operation of the Club and in the
general public interest. The Club’s secondary
purpose is all other recreational outdoor activities. If you share our passion for snowmobiling,

streams are configured just right, the warm, 12th to 15th, 1993 (aka “The St. Patrick’s
saturated air of the South smashes into, and Day Storm”) when 20 or more inches of snow
buried central Pennsylvania. The storm was
one of the strongest ever in recorded history to
move up the Eastern Seaboard; 26 states had
to dig out, and over 200 people died. More
recently, the 2010 North American blizzard,
aka “Snowmageddon”, which, combined
with two other storms in a 12-day period in
February 2011, amounted to the snowiest
winter on record for parts of the Mid-Atlantic....
unfortunately just south of DCNR’s most popular
state forest snowmobiling destinations.
High Hopes for the 2012-13 Winter
Recreation Season
Regardless of the lack of snow last season,
hopefully lovers of the winter sports like
snowmobiling and cross-country skiing will once
again see a return to more normal snowfall
large enough window of time to be statistically
relevant. However, it is quite clear that over
the past decade, the trend has been toward less
snowfall on average. Ever heard older folks
make the claim that it used to snow a lot more
“back in the day”? Turns out that comparing
the snowfall records for the past 25 years to the
past 100 years verifies that claim…although
the change is small.

but it is a naturally occurring trend that we
are unfortunately on the cusp of. Still others
are sure that there is no such thing as global
warming, period. And the proof? Scientists
say the proof is in the numbers, with the
average annual temperature in the state
having increased by ½ a degree F in the past
100 years, and even more dramatic changes
worldwide and with temperatures in the last
decade compared to the previous 100 years.

those of us with science degrees have a hard
time sorting fact from fiction.

Regardless of the ideas on the global
warming phenomenon, the best we can do
as citizens of the Commonwealth is to try our
very best to conserve and protect our natural
resources, especially where the use of fossil
fuels is concerned. Noticeable change to our
beloved winter pastimes might possibly come in
our lifetimes, but that can only lead to a greater
delight in seeing that first snowflake in October,
and then hoping that “snowmageddon” might
somehow come to our forests for just one more
time.

Boy is it HOT!!! I don’t know about you, but
I’m pretty much fed up with summer! Bring on
the SNOW. We are counting down the days till
riding season arrives. We hope and pray that this
season is much better than last season. We have our first club meeting on the 11th of
September at the Original Italian Pizza Restaurant
in Burnham @ 7:00pm. We will be discussing the
Fall Powersports Show and our booth. Thanks to
all of you that supported our booth last year. We
promise to have bigger and better prizes for our
raffle this year. Stop by and cry on our shoulders
about no snow and no groomer in our area. We
sympathize with you and will keep trying to get a
groomer when the snow in our area increases to a
substantial amount.
Next on the agenda will be our club picnic,
which is scheduled for noon on the 20th of October
(Saturday) hopefully @ Pavilion #1 at Greenwood
State Park, so mark your calendars. Just bring a
covered dish and we’ll provide the rest. We will be sending out our club membership
applications soon. Bring it to a club meeting, the
Fall Powersports Show or just mail it to the address
provided. So once again we hope to see you at the
club meeting @7:00 on the 11th of September at
the Burnham OIP. Come one come all.
That’s all for now, and oh yeah pray for SNOW!

WHAT PSSA
MEANS TO US
Don and I have been PSSA members for a
number of years now. Without the PSSA minigrant program our club would not be able
to carry on our trail and grooming projects.
The fact that PSSA has been working with the
DCNR has made it possible for us and other
clubs in PA. to receive these much needed
grants. For Don and I, this is a big part of why
we continue to be PSSA members. Through
them, we have been kept up to date on safety
classes, snow angels and all the happenings in
the state. If ever we need to contact PSSA for
any snowmobile reason, we feel very comfortable calling the office, and have found them to
be very helpful.
We would like to thank Hartman Publishing
Co. for their continued support of PSSA, and to
congratulate them on their soon to be 24 year
season publishing the Keystone Snowmobiler.

“THUNDER IN THE FOREST 7”, MOTORCYCLE POKER RUN
FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
Hi all! On August 28th, the PA Snowseekers
held their 7th annual “Thunder 7”
motorcycle poker run to benefit Breast
Cancer awareness. Though we all got a
little wet, this event rocked and was a
tremendous success! Many of us went
up on the previous Thursday to make the
preparations, and stayed and worked
through Sunday late morning. This event
is a great deal of work. I’m very thankful
and extremely proud of our members who
worked very hard throughout this event!
The Allegheny National Forest is a beautiful
place to ride. Though all of us enjoy it
during the winter months on our sleds, it
is also breathtaking in the summer in full
bloom with fresh road kill! Stay tuned for
information on “Thunder in the Forest 8”.
I want to thank Rick Young from the James
City Café for all of his help! Rick brought his
band, The James City House Rockers out on
Friday for the pre-run party. What a great
time we had! With the weather getting
wetter and wetter, Rick loaned us his large
canopy for the post run dinner, door prizes,
the silent auction, and poker hands! If you
have a chance, stop by his place, the food
is really good! Thanks Rick! I also want to
send a shout out to Schlepp and 5 Toes from
the Highland Hotel for donating and helping
to get the beverages donated! Last but not
least, I want to send out a special thanks
to Franco Harris, (yes, I’m name dropping),
for his continued generous support of this
event! (Nice catch by the way)

Auction Winner,

and John
On a serious note, The Snowseekers club
includes a few cancer survivors, and has
lost a dear member to cancer recently. This
event really hits home for all of us! This
year, the main charity we chose was The
PA Breast Cancer Coalition. Since 1993,
the PA Breast Cancer Coalition has been a
network of strength. Their strength comes
in many forms: breast cancer survivors and
their families, their small (but mighty) staff,
their board of directors, and a core of hardworking volunteers, and loyal donors. The
PA Breast Cancer Coalition is the source of
action and information for women in this
state with breast cancer. Please support
them! www.pabreastcancer.org

HYNER MOUNTAIN SMC
Hello from Hyner Mt. SMC. Just want to let
everyone know what has been happening up
on the mountain. It is hard to believe, but
September is already here. When you’re
reading this months paper, it won’t be too
long until the days will start to get shorter,
the nights will start to get a little cooler, and
before you know it, we will be getting our sleds
and trailers ready for a new season of riding. My wife and I are looking forward to the start
of the riding season; and, speaking with the
other lodge members, I know they are also
looking forward to a new season of riding. Let’s all hope for a great winter this year
with plenty of snow and cold temperatures. We have seen an extremely hot summer, so
maybe we will see a cold, snowy winter. Not a whole lot has happened this past month
at the lodge, so I thought that maybe I would
do sort of a summer 2012 recap. This past
June we all got together for our annual
chicken bar-b-que dinner. This is always a very
big part of our summer events. July had a
few of us lending a hand at the Black Forest
Fire Company’s annual Chili Cookoff. Every
summer Hyner Mt. SMC members help them
with this fund raiser. We want to take just
a moment to thank them for allowing us to
help year after year, and to say it was a really
great event. August had some of us getting together to do
some camping. A few of us stayed at Lyman
Run State Park to attend the Woodsman
Festival at Cherry Springs State Park. For
those of you who have never been to this,
you are missing a very good event. You owe
it to yourself to try some year to make it to
this event. Some of our members did some
camping down at Raystown Lake and had a
great time getting their boats in the water. One common denominator at all of the events
I have listed was some of the conversation. Lots of talk of a great winter coming up,
we hope! Well enough about summer. Our
annual Snowmobile Safety class will be held
November 17th, from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. To
register please call Louise Davidson at 570368-2288, or e-mail tomkat1952@verizon.
net. Lunch will be provided by the lodge;
seating is limited to 30 students. We will be at the Power Sports Show next
month in Lebanon. If you’re down at the show
stop by to say hey, and talk to us about our
club. We do currently have some openings for
new members. Only a little more than three
months until snowmobile season. Well that’s
about all for now. Talk to ya next month.

We were saddened to learn this week of
the death of one of our most valuable members, Someone Else. Someone's passing created
a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Else had
been with us for many years.
Someone did far more than the normal person's share of work. Whenever leadership was
mentioned this wonderful person was looked to
for inspiration as well as results. "Someone Else
can work with that group." Whenever there was
a job to do, a committee to chair, or meeting to
attend, one name was on everyone's list, "Let
Someone Else do it."
Someone Else was a wonderful person sometimes appearing super human, but a person can only do so much ... Were the truth be
known, everyone expected too much of Someone Else. Now, Someone Else is gone!
We wonder what we are going to do.
Someone Else left a wonderful example to follow, but who is going to follow? Who is going to
do the things Someone Else did?
When you have a chance to participate in
your association or club remember, we can't
depend on Someone Else anymore!

PSSA PHOTO CONTEST
PSSA is pleased to again offer an opportunity for PSSA members to submit photos for the Photo Contest for the PA Powersports Show. You must be
a current PSSA member to submit a photo.
Submissions are to be from last winter’s snowmobile season – 2011/2012. There are three categories and the first two categories have three
classes in each. We have a third category designed for kids. We know children like to use the camera and, as a way of encouraging this, we have
added Category III for children under 12. This will be an “open” class in that all snowmobiling photos taken by the children will be in one class.
Please send pictures by e-mail if possible. As in the past, all photos become the property of PSSA and will not be returned. When you send the photos
you are giving permission for PSSA to use the pictures in any PSSA publication or advertisement and/or other snowmobile related production.
All pictures must be received no later than October 1, 2012 to be entered in the contest. Winners will be announced and exhibited at the PA

Hello from Potter County,
On June 30th our Club barbequed 260 chicken
legs for To Fill A Back Pack. The Spring Fling
Raffle was a free chicken BBQ which included
potato salad, baked beans and soft drink and
only asking for a donation. Andy Kulp from
Roulette helped start this organization in 2008
to help 275 children. In 2011 they were able
to help 941 children in Bradford, Tioga, Potter
and McKean counties. The Backpack program is
kept going solely on donations of time, money
and supplies. Their goal is “Helping send
children to school with the supplies they need”.
They are hoping to expand into the Kane and
Mt. Jewett area by their 2013 distribution year.
Town Coordinators are needed for these areas
to help get the information out regarding the
program. If anyone would like to help the
children of these counties go to their website
www.tofillabackpack.org.
On July 7th some of our club members attended
a vintage sled show in Elkland Pa. Glen Mallory,
coordinator for our Winterfest vintage shows,
was in charge. There were 55 vintage sleds
entered and 5 swappers. The show people were
from upstate New York and Southern Pa. Best
of Show 1st place winner went to Allen Seeley
with a 1975 Suzuki custom built XR500 and
2nd place went to Brian Moyer’s 1974 Alouette
Left: 1968 JLO Engine
Mini Brute. Class 2 Mini Sled first place went to
Brian Moyer’s 1974 Alouette Mini Brute and
2nd place went to Josh Leuber’s 1981 Kitty Cat.
The Best Accessory 1st place went to Sean Lias
for a 1972 Kat Cutter in combo with a 1972
Panther 440. Brian Moyer won $50 bucks for
the furthest traveled at 286 miles one way.
Also there was Pete Kemps 1968 Polaris TX500
with a 600cc JLO flat twin. The JLO engine is
a horizontal opposed engine and a rare find.
They were a great bunch of people to chat with
and talk about old times.
Our meetings will start back up on September
3rd and I am sure the trail guys will have a
lot of work ahead of them. A tornado touched
down in Coudersport and we had hard rain
and high wind damage in Roulette. Guess
Mother Nature has a mind of her own and sure
hope that she will take care of us this coming
snowmobile season.

2012 USED SLED
(And Other Toys)
CORRAL
Another year has gone by and we are getting ready for the annual PSSA Powersports Show, again this year at the Lebanon Expo Center.
Here at the KEYSTONE SNOWMOBILER, we are already getting calls from PSSA
members about placing their sleds in the Used Sled Corral. We will have these machines listed in the October issue of the paper. Call early to get the most exposure
for your sled, trailer, motorcycle, or ATV.
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!
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 keystonesnowmobiler@
comcast.net We will be glad to hear from you.

Hello from the Laurel Highlands. The
September issue is an exciting reminder
that the new snowmobile season is almost
here. We can finally expect to see more
sled activities from grass drag races to trade
shows. We can also shake the dust off the
sled and make our wish lists for the snow. This month at the club the new board is
elected, the activity calendar is refreshed,
and the race season begins. We offer over
100 miles of groomed trails, members-only
parking, heated bathrooms, a full kitchen,
and plenty of activities. If you are interested in a membership, there are downloadable applications on the club web-site, www.
lhsc.net. The Snowmobile Grass Drag Races will
once again be held at our clubhouse on
September 23, October 14, and November
11. This year’s race season will offer exciting points opportunities with the Chickaree
Ridge Runners. There will be a variety of
classes including vintage and youth. Also
new this year, come and see the “mini’s”
in a bracket race! Food concession is onsite. (See our ad in this issue of the Keystone Snowmobiler.) During the races, stop
by the Laurel Highlands Snowmobile Club
information booth. We have free stuff
to give away, mind teasers for the kids,
clothing to sell, and the latest updates for
snowmobiling in the immediate area, like
the bridge over the Pa. Turnpike. Highland
Harley Davidson will be our primary sponsor for the September race. They will bring
the latest toys and catalogs for you to check
out. Hope to see you there. We would like to take a moment to congratulate the PSSA winners, Highland Harley
Davidson for their award as the Snowmobile Dealership of the Year and the Klink
Family, Joe, Margaret, Jonas, Terri, and
Nicki for Family of the Year. Both were
nominated by our club for their outstanding
efforts towards snowmobiling. Congratulations to Mike Mumau, Operations Manager
of the Laurel Hill State Park Complex, and
Forbes Forest district four, Ed Callahan and
Rick Supanick, in appreciation for their support of snowmobilers on the bridge project. Special recognition goes to Mosites Motorsports for untiring service and contribution to
LHHT Bridge Project. We are also happy to
announce that the Laurel Hill State Park will
be grooming its trails this year. LAUREL HIGHLANDS SNOWMOBILE CLUB
busy as usual. We are fortunate to have
such a devoted group of workers. Thank
you for making the club look and run great! The biggest projects at the clubhouse this
year included repairs to the pavilion and
garage roofs, and the work on the snow
depth equipment. Linda and Junior Walker
led the work on the pavilion, Bob Serfozo
led the workday of the roof, and Bill Bennett led the work on the snow information
station. Thank you to John Felice, George
Sweigard, and Jim Wilkinson for keeping
the clubhouse mowed. Thank you also to
the Drag Race Committee led by Sheila
Knupp and Jonas Klink for the continued
updates and improvements to our drag
strip. It is looking very good. We can’t wait
to get the races started. Thank you to the
participants of the Laurel Mountain Volunteer Group. Kerri Schott, Scott and Shelly
Buckles, and Jim Wilkinson who took the
Polaris Ranger with chain saws and clippers
to work on the trails between the clubhouse
and Seven Springs. The trails will be safer
and more enjoyable for all of us because of
you. Many good times were shared while
the work was being done. Next month, we

County) and will be held at the Laurel Highlands Snowmobile Clubhouse. This is a free
class and food will be provided by Lori Noftz
and her crew in the kitchen. We highly encourage adults to take the class with their
kids and grandkids. It will be a rewarding and educational day along with the
excellent food. This year’s instructors will
be: Jim Tweardy- Assistant Park Manager
DCNR—French Creek State Park Complex--(Jim travels over 5 hours one way to be
with us), Cindy Wilkinson - Uniontown High
School math teacher, Shelly Buckles - Mt.
Pleasant Area elementary teacher, and Jim

had a record number of people sign up and
had to place some on a waiting list. Please
let us know right away if you had registered
and cannot make it so we can add students
from the waiting list. There were 58 students in last year’s class and for the first
time ever the majority were adults. DCNR
considers a person who reaches their 16th
birthday to be an adult. Although, we only
submit names to Harrisburg of students under the age of 16, all ages are welcomed!
Until next time---Think safety

TIONESTA VALLEY SNOWMOBILE CLUB
CELEBRATES 35TH ANNIVERSARY
WITH A WILDS AWARD!!
The Tionesta Valley Snowmobile Club, Inc.
(TVSC) is located in Warren, PA. Our Club
celebrated our 35th anniversary when we
received a “Champion of the Pennsylvania
Wilds” Outstanding Leader Award during a
state recreation and tourism conference held
near St. Mary’s, PA on April 25, 2012. More
than 160 business and community leaders from
the region gathered at the Red Fern near St.
Mary’s for the conference. The Pennsylvania
Wilds is a 12-county tourism region located
in north-central Pennsylvania; the bulk of
Pennsylvania’s snowmobile trail system is
located in the Wilds region. (www.pawilds.
com) TVSC is an all-volunteer recreational
trails and events organization working in the
Allegheny National Forest region since 1977.
Our volunteers have donated thousands of
hours to construction and maintenance of public
trails, teaching snowmobile safety courses, and
holding public events. We operate on individual
membership dues, donations, and occasional
grants.
Our trail work includes projects on public and
private lands. TVSC completed key segments
of the Allegheny Snowmobile Loop. One
inter-modal example is the Highway 59
Bridge Enhancement Project dedicated in
Sept., 2000 near Warren. With an I.S.T.E.A.
grant, TVSC worked with PennDOT, Warren
County and the state Dept. of Conservation
and Natural Resources’ (DCNR’s) Bureau of
State Parks to install side-bridges on highway
bridge abutments to allow safe passage for
snowmobiles, pedestrians and bicycles.
TVSC formed unique partnerships to pursue
trail maintenance projects on the Loop near
Warren. In 2009, TVSC won a DCNR grant to
purchase a trail maintenance tractor. After
gathering donations of tractor attachments,
TVSC used the equipment to maintain the Loop.
TVSC partnered with the U.S. Forest Service
and DCNR Bureau of Forestry to use left-over
grooming funds from the previous winter
for the work. TVSC hired Lyon Contracting of
Clarendon for trail rehabilitation in 2010. In
2011, TVSC partnered with the Warren County
Jail to use work- release trustees for continued
trail work.
In December 2011, TVSC volunteers traveled
with Lyon Contracting to Lowville, NY to
purchase an Arrowhead groomer-drag for use
with the tractor. The Arrowhead purchase was
funded by a Pennsylvania State Snowmobile
Association trail grant (funded by DCNR),
another grant from the Community Foundation
of Warren County and private donations. TVSC
sponsors DCNR-certified snowmobile safety
courses. An annual all-day safety course, open
to the public, is held at the Salvation Army in
Warren. TVSC recruited a State Police trooper
to appear at the annual course to discuss the
Pennsylvania Snowmobile Law and make a
PowerPoint presentation. TVSC also teaches
safety courses to public.
On August 24, 2007, TVSC dedicated a bronze
statue of ‘The Worker’ at the Warren County
Visitors Center to commemorate the work of
the Civilian Conservation Corps in the Allegheny
National Forest region From 1933-42, the CCC
boys built and improved many recreational
trails, state parks and national parks. TVSC
volunteers worked with the Visitors Center and
local contractors to complete this state Dept.
of Community and Economic Developmentgrant-funded project. More than 100 people
attended the dedication ceremony. In August,
2008 and each year since then, TVSC holds a
‘statue reunion’ at the Vistors Center followed
by an ‘Allegheny Picnic’ at a nearby park.
TVSC is part of the Warren County Winterfest TVSC’s annual CCC Statue Reunion is scheduled
organizing committee in addition to running for Friday, August 24, 2012.
the Jim Lobdell Memorial Sled Dog Races and

the Winterfest web-site. The races include a
32-mile mid-distance race from Chapman
State Park to the Hickory Creek Wilderness
Ranch and back. These races take place
on Chapman, State Game Land #29, and
Allegheny National Forest. Funds are raised
to support the races and other Winterfest
activities through private donations. Partners
include Penn Soil Resource Conservation &
Development Council. Attendance at the park
ranges from 6,000 to 13,500 each year. (www.

are currently working with the Winterfest
organizing committee to prepare for the 2013
event.

Last winter I had the pleasure of
joining Don Kellner of Kellner Snow Tours
on the “Castle” trip in Quebec, Canada.
As an Arctic Cat dealer, my wife and I
have been snowmobiling for years, but
we had never taken a guided tour, so this
was a new experience for us both. Some
of my customers had travelled with Don
in the past and recommended his guide
service.
We all know that snow conditions were miserable last season. All of
our favorite riding destinations suffered
from a lack of snow. I was so glad we
booked this trip in advance and had
rideable conditions. I’m not saying trail
conditions were perfect on this trip, but
they were good overall. We had a couple
days of ungroomed trails which I did
not expect in Quebec, but we also had a
few days of gorgeous trails that quickly
erased my memory of the rough stuff.
The trip got better each day with
improved trail conditions, more breathtaking scenery, and increasingly nicer
accommodations. The grand finale was
the castle Le Manoir de Richelieu and it
2012 pssa snowmobile tour
was truly grand. If you’ve never been,
I’d highly recommend this destination. It
is off the charts.
Our group totaled 40 with
guides. On the first morning, we all met
for breakfast to discuss a few housekeeping items and to start breaking off
into our riding groups. Several of the
riders had been with Don previously and
knew the routine. For those of us new
to the group, the meeting was filled
with nervous energy. Luckily everyone
in the group was an experienced rider.
We broke into four groups of approximately ten each. The groups all took
the same trails, but at different rates of
speed. Since everyone has different riding styles, it was nice to have the option
to ride in the group of our choice. My
wife and I chose to ride in the “D” group
with our customers who had joined us
on this trip. This group was led by Don
himself. While this was traditionally the
slowest of the four groups, we still rode
at a respectable pace. This group offered
the most opportunity for picture taking.
Since my wife is a “scrapper”, lots of pictures were a must from this adventure.
Our ride started at Four Points
Sheraton near Quebec City. I must admit,
I was nervous about leaving my vehicle
for a week, but it was a nice hotel with
secure parking. Don assured us that he
had used this location previously without
incident.
On our first day, we rode to Les
Eboulements and Auberge de Nos Aieux.
We found good food at this motel with
beautiful views. The trails were rough
getting out of Quebec City, but not as
bad as I had expected since it was the
southernmost point of our trip.
On our second day, we rode
through the Charlevoix Region where we
crossed the Saquenay River on a ferry
boat. That night we stayed at Hotel Coronet at Sacre Coeur. This hotel had even
better food and a secure lock up for the
machines which was a welcome sight.
On the third day, we rode to
Cap Au Leste. This location had very nice
accommodations. We stayed in a newly
built cabin, located on a cliff, overlooking the Saquenay River. The views were
gorgeous and I know I›m sounding like
a broken record, but they had excellent
food. In case you can›t tell from my description, we came home a bit heavier
than when we left! We were well fed at
every stop.
On the fourth day, we rode to
Auberge des Battures. This hotel had
very nice accommodations and was
overlooking the largest ice fishing village in North America, in Baie de Ha Ha.
They used the tennis courts as a sled lock
up which worked well. It had a billiards
room which provided us a nice place to
unwind from our day.
On the fifth day, we rode to the
castle, Le Manoir de Richelieu at Charlevoix . As mentioned previously, this
was an incredible hotel. It is located on
the St. Lawrence River, so the views are
breathtaking. There is a casino if that
tickles your fancy. Personally, I enjoyed
the state of the art fitness facility and
outdoor hot tubs. To say that we were
pampered is an understatement. On par
with the rest of the experience at this
location, the food was the best of the
trip. The machines were parked in the
underground parking garage which was
totally secure. We did not want to leave
this gorgeous location, but our trip was
nearing its end.
On the sixth day, we rode back
to the Four Points. I was greatly relieved
to find all our equipment parked just as
we had left it a week earlier. That evening we took a shuttle to the nearby Ice
Hotel for a tour. This is really something
to see. Every year this massive structure
is built and it is really well done. There
is a functioning bar, a church sanctuary,
and dozens of elaborately decorated
rooms. The ice carving in this place is
awe inspiring; even the chandeliers are
made of ice!
We found Don and his guides
to be very attentive to our needs as a
group. One of the nicest things about
this kind of trip is the lack of planning
required for the riders. As a person who
tries to plan for everything, I find taking
big trips to be an almost overwhelming
task sometimes. It is especially difficult
when trying to plan a new destination out of country. It was nice to have
the guide service take care of lodging,
meals, and route planning, but the thing
I appreciated most was having a chase
truck haul our luggage and supplies. This
made the trip so much more enjoyable.
If you have never taken a guided tour,
I would highly recommend the experience. It may not be for everyone, but we
certainly enjoyed it. Brian Gellner
