Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you have a membership application form on this site
Yes. Click Here to get a MS Word Doc copy of our form, with instructions.
- How much are club dues, and what do I get?
All fees are clearly labeled on our Membership Application.Â
- Why Join a Club? The trails are free, right?
Yes, and no…. It is true that there is no toll booth at road crossings to collect money from you. Please understand though, that the trails are NOT free. The fact that trails exist at all is a practical miracle. Generous property owners give permission to local clubs to make trails across their land. Hundreds of hours of manual labor are expended by dedicated club members to cut and mark those trails, and it takes real dollars to build and maintain the bridges that keep us safe over water obstacles, as well as to repair and maintain the the trail groomers and equipment.
- Where does this money come from?
A number of sources. New York State Registration fees have historically provided 10-20% of annual funding, but a large amount is raised by the clubs fundraising efforts and membership dues. Donations of money, materials, time and expertise from supporting businesses and individuals help make up the shortfall. There is always more need than there is supply.

- What’s the History of F.A.S.T.?Â
F.A.S.T. was started in 1985 by a small group of avid snowmobilers hoping to improve the sport of snowmobiling in Southern Oswego County. Through their efforts, FAST has grown to include about 400 families all dedicated to promoting the sport of snowmobiling while working to keep it safe and enjoyable.
Keep the Trails Open. Join the Riders Who Make It Happen.
Snowmobile trails do not maintain themselves. They exist because dedicated volunteers, generous landowners, and committed riders step up to protect them.
The Fulton Area Snow Travelers keeps over 24 miles of scenic trail open and safe throughout Oswego and Onondaga Counties. From grooming and bridge maintenance to landowner relations, education, and advocacy, everything we do is powered by members who care about the future of snowmobiling.
If you ride these trails, this is your invitation to give back, have a voice, meet great people, and help ensure the trails stay open for generations to come.
Join F.A.S.T. today and be part of the reason the trails exist.
