It's the first Guide to Your Ride Podcast for the 2020-21 Snowmobile season. We discuss what's open to ride (next to nothing), the work that needs to be done in the coming days and over the holidays with all this snow we just got (hint - it's a ton) and we bring in a special guest in one of the areas that got a ton of snow, could use your help this weekend to get trails open, and is conveniently located in the Capital Region near the Adirondacks. Chaz Albertson, President of Saratoga Snowmobile Association, brings us up to speed.

We feature John Bates on this week’s Trail Talk Podcast. John has been a critical part of the Ohio Ridge Riders, a key snowmobile club connecting major trails between the Adirondacks, the Tug Hill and the foothills north of the Mohawk Valley. We talk about Snow Bash, the lack thereof this past fall, fundraising challenges,

Chris Skipper joins us for a very well done presentation on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to snowmobiling in Lewis County, NY, the Tug Hill Region. There is so much more than meets the eye to the economy and quality of life in the North Country. Snowmobiling is a big part of it. And Chris has amazing analysis and ideas going forward!
