Oct. 1- The ski season started in Utica with Chris Rose and Jim Kobak successfully winning their campaign for executive office with NYSSRA.  "Let the REIGN of TERROR begin!" shouted a jubliant Kobak at the post-election acceptance speech.  President Rose and Vice President Kobak officially started their new term by revamping the NYSSRA points series system, implementing a new Club Series, and shooting down a proposal to harass state assemlymen over snowmobile rights.  A fired up Chris Rose concluded his inaugural address with an inspiring "...ask not what NYSSRA can do for you, but rather what can you do for Chris Rose."
