The Golden Spike Snowmobile Association originated on December 20th, 1965 and was founded by Dr. Keith Stratford. In January
1967, members adopted an emblem and gave their okay to have decals made for there snowmobiles. In February 1969, GSSA
officers started attending the Utah Snowmobile Association meetings. Additionally, Dr. Keith Stratford held an officer position.
In December 1971, the creation of official publication of GSSA was created "The Flurry". The 1990-1991 season marked the
first of the monthly dinner meetings. The first dinner meeting was held at Jim's Family Restaurant on Washington Blvd,
Ogden, Utah.
Although technology has changed our way of life over the years, GSSA really doesn't operate any different
than it did in it's early years. In 2008, the club designed and adopted the new logo that they have today. The official publication
"The Flurry" is still produced monthly and sent out to members via U.S. mail or electronically. Dinner meetings are still
held monthly at the Golden Corral in N. Ogden, Utah. Finally, the year 2009 saw the creation of this website.
