Governor Andrew Cuomo has designated the weekend of February 2nd through 5th as free snowmobiling weekend for all out-of-state and Canadian snowmobilers. Registration fees will be waived for properly registered and insured out-of-state snowmobiling enthusiasts wishing to explore the state's 10,400 miles of snowmobile trails. Cuomo also announced $4 million for snowmobile trail maintenance to local communities across the state, a 15% increase from last year. Chautauqua County will receive $218,000 that will be turned over to local snowmobile clubs to groom and maintain the nearly 400 miles of trails across the county.
