Save Money on Wisconsin Snowmobile Trail Passes
There are multiple changes that changed effective July 1, 2015. Of greatest importance is the fact that each sled operating in WI will be required to display a Wisconsin trail pass to be purchased annually. The new law includes this two-tiered trail pass requirement at an annual cost of $30/non-member and $10/club & AWSC member. This means that if you are a member of a club, like Montello Yetis, your annual fee will be $10 rather than $30.
You will be supporting the local club and the care and maintenance of the local trails. So, we encourage you to join our club today.
Also of great importance, revenue generated from the sale of snowmobile registrations and Wisconsin Trail Passes goes to the segregated snowmobile account which is used to maintain and develop Wisconsin's snowmobile trails.
