Looking to do our first ride in New York on the dates above. Planning on having three or four people and were looking for some recommendations on where to stay (Nothing to elaborate).I've heard some good things about Tug Hill and Old Forge. Also, i would like to ride in the Adirondacks. I have been to Adirondacks.com and .net and since i'm not familiar with New York i need help finding where a good place to ride would be. We would like to have a place close to a trail and good snow! Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
FoREVer

Snowmobiles
Note: The snowmobile registration fee will change for snowmobile registrations issued on or after April 30, 2006 or that have an expiration date after April 30, 2006. The fee will change for registrants who are not members of a NYS Snowmobile Association (NYSSA) club. See the information about the fee change in the FAQs below about how to register your snowmobile or renew the registration.

Does my snowmobile require a registration in New York State?
You must register your snowmobile if you operate the snowmobile in New York State. A registration is not required if the snowmobile is operated on the private property of the owner or private property the owner has a contractual right to use. A snowmobile that is registered in another state and owned by a resident of that state, but is operated in NYS, must get a NYS registration. New York State also requires a registration on trailers.

Snowmobile registration numbers are permanently assigned to the snowmobile when it is first registered. If you have a snowmobile that was first registered before August 1995, you must supply the numbers that attach to your snowmobile. You must display those numbers on each side of the snowmobile hood. The numbers must be:

made from a reflective material,
block style and 3 inches high or taller,
a color different from the hood and easy to see.
Be sure to include a hyphen or a space between the last number and the capital letters.
New snowmobile registrations receive a Registration Decal set. Attach the decals to each side of the hood. Validation stickers are issued annually. Put the stickers on the upper left-hand corner of the decal. Put the annual validation stickers to the left of the numbers on snowmobiles registered before 1995.

Beginning on April 30, 2006, the registration fee is $45 if you certify on form MV-82SN that you are a member of a NYS Snowmobile Association (NYSSA) club and show proof of membership. Beginning September 1, 2007, the only acceptable proof of membership is a valid membership voucher issued by the NYSSA, and your certification on form MV-82SN. If you are not a member, the fee is $100. Visit the NYSSA web site for more information about NYSSA clubs.

How do I register my snowmobile?
To register your snowmobile, bring the following items to a DMV office:

A completed form MV-82SN (Snowmobile Registration Application).
A completed form DTF-802 (Statement of Transaction for Sales Tax ) or proof of exemption or tax paid. The requirements and forms for snowmobiles are the same as those for motor vehicles. See the information about sales tax.
Proof of ownership and bill of sale. Non-residents can use photocopies of proof of ownership and are not required to pay the NYS sales tax if the snowmobile is registered in another state.
Proof of identity.
Cash, check or credit card for the fee. Pay the registration fee of $45.

The Edge Hotel! This is a great place to stay. Friendly folks and well kept. I also like this hotel due to it's location. Head west leads right to Tughill, Boonville, Forestport/Alder Creek area or north east to Stillwater, Old Forge, Cranberry Lake area and beyond. The only possible hang up is if the snow conditions are running slim. Since this Hotel is just off of Tughill and just off the Adirondack park they can have low snow conditions at times.

If you don't already know about Absolute Snowmobile's website.......Here ya go...

**The snow conditions reported for Brantingham/Boonville can be assumed for the area of the Edge Hotel.

Good luck and enjoy your trip

Been traveling for work lately, haven't had time to check up on my thread.

Tom, you have provide a weath of info, thanks so much. And sorry for calling you Katelyn, When I saw that at the bottom of your page, I thought that was your name. Should have gone by: "04rev600sdi".

Anyway, it sounds like its a bit of a pain in the a$$ to get set to ride NY.
I still not sure about registering trailers??? But it looks like since we will only have 3 day to ride and two travel days, we are putting off NY for a time when we would have a week or so.............

For all of the additional distance and expense, we can ride in the MI UP and get more riding time as well, so we decided to do a saddlebag trip there.

However you info was greatly appreciated, and I still want to ride there, I hear it is beautiful.

Thanks again,

Wayne

any time

We've always stayed at the Crossroads Inn in Redfield, NY. It's a bed & breakfast type of inn but they also have some cabins you can rent and they're very reasonable, owners are really nice people and really knowledgeable about the area. The best part is they can register your sleds for NY and sign you up in a club on the spot! You just need to provide proof of ownership and ins. You can be on the trails within an hour after you pull in! It's the only place I've stayed for the last 2 years.
