Important Notes

At the bottom of this page is the grooming contract for the season. There have been changes to this contract so please be sure to read through the entire page thoroughly before completing. You can enter up to 25 trails in a single submission. If you need to enter more than 25 trails please submit this form twice.

Do not cut & paste from previous years without verifying your information is accurate. It is your responsibility to ensure that your trails, mileage, power units & drags are current. Please follow directions below closely. It is important that your trails be labeled as identical to the map as possible, remember; we don’t know your equipment and trails as well as you do. The forms are online on the SAM Directors page under the Clubs tab.

Should you have any questions or problems, please don’t hesitate to call the SAM office at 413-369-8092.

Protocol

The SAM Grooming Committee has been appointed to oversee the execution of the grooming program. If you have any questions, problems or issues; it is the responsibility of your club Board of Director to address these issues with the grooming committee. The governing body (the Board of Directors) of the Snowmobile Association of Massachusetts will vote on recommendations by the grooming committee.

Very Important Points to Remember

Return contract by the monthly meeting in November.
Contracts must be complete when submitted; unless otherwise approved by Grooming Committee and/or Grooming Chairman.
SAM grooming program covers 10 weeks of grooming; however clubs are encouraged to send in grooming logs for ALL weeks groomed for the season.
Map: You do not need to submit a map provided your trails are as noted on the SAM Map (2011/2012). Should you have any changes or additions to your trails you must submit a detailed map with this grooming contract application.
Grooming equipment trail pass: This is for club groomers and grooming ONLY sleds; not sleds that are used for recreational riding. Complete the power unit form and forward with the CONTRACT. An official grooming unit trail pass will be issued to each club at the DECEMBER meeting. Have a NEW unit coming soon? Note the new item on the contract.
Logs are submitted online only and they MUST be received within deadline. Note the miles groomed and describe each trail identical to the grooming contract by name or route number (see grooming contract details).
Blank grooming logs: You do not have to send in grooming logs that are blank. It is the clubs responsibility to check with the SAM office to ensure that their information has been received by the office.

Trail Descriptions

To get paid for grooming a trail must be on the map, have a route number, and intersections to define it. Note: Just because a trail is on the map, doesn’t mean it will be paid for grooming if it does not fall under a qualified trail. Newly developed trails may qualify for contract provided the GPS data has been provided to SAM for inclusion on the next scheduled map. This data MUST be included with the contract.
