Our club dues are only $40 for each snowmobile and include a club membership, a S.A.M. membership and a TMA permit. Club application forms can be found on our web site and in past newsletters.

You can join us by returning a completed membership application via the US Postal Service at {P.O. Box 1102, Pittsfield, MA 01202}, by visiting our website at {www.berkshiresnowseekers.com}, by stopping in at a regular club meeting, or visiting one of our trail permit outlets later in the season at a participating local business: - Pittsfield Lawn & Tractor (Pittsfield), Ronnie’s (Pittsfield), Friendly Fred’s (Windsor), AJAY’s Store (Windsor), Lanesboro Getty Gas Station (Lanesboro), and Smitty’s Bait & Tackle (Dalton).

Currently we have 570 trail passes sold and still have to collect the trail passes sold in the last two weeks at the satellite sales locations. We may top over 600 depending on what we collect this week. This has been a very good year for snowmobiling and for our club.

Most of our trails are located on private property and require landowner’s approval prior to cutting a trail and riding on a trail. It has been a long standing tradition for our club to thank the landowners who allow us trail access by treating them to a pasta dinner in the fall and spring. It is a very small gesture of thanks in some ways if you consider what we receive in return, but yet many landowners are very appreciative of our gesture. Typically we have an attendance of 50% landowners and 50% members averaging around 100 people in attendance.

Please join us if you can, it’s a great way to say thanks to the landowners and a great way to make new friends who share your joy in snowmobiling.

Did you know we have spent $2,984 on fuel for grooming this season? And we have not yet received all of our invoices yet for fuel. Based on the $15 club membership for each trail pass we sell, that means 198.9 memberships were needed to pay for the fuel so far this year. That’s why it is important to join a club where you ride the most and not necessarily a club that may have cheaper trail passes.
