Notice to Snowmobilers

Wisconsin snowmobilers are now required to purchase an annual Trail Pass for each registered sled. If you're a WI Resident, this is in addition to your WI sled registration, which will now expire after 3 years instead of 2.

AWSC affiliated Snowmobile Club members (Snow & Dirt Club Members) are eligible for discounted trail passes. Go to www.awsc.org for more info or to place your order (a verification of club membership is then initiated). Nonresidents must purchase trail passes directly from the WI DNR.

New trail passes will become available each year on July 1, for that year's upcoming snowmobile season.

 NOTE:  You will NOT be notified to renew your trail passes like you are for sled registration. Like hunting and fishing licences, it's YOUR responsibility to renew each year.
