MONROE - Beginning this winter, in addition to having a registered snowmobile, a trail pass sticker, sold separately from the registration, will be required on every snowmobile using Wisconsin snowmobile trails.
It will be the responsibility of the snowmobile owner to maintain a valid sticker; the DNR will not send trail pass expiration notices. The trail passes will expire on June 30 each year.
Trail pass stickers can be ordered through the DNR website or from any DNR license sales agent. For snowmobiles registered in Wisconsin, the trail passes will cost $30 per snowmobile for non-members of a snowmobile club and the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs. Current members of a Wisconsin snowmobile club and the AWSC may order the trail passes for $10 from the AWSC. These passes need to be ordered through the AWSC website or the AWSC office; contact your club or the AWSC for more information. All trail pass stickers will be mailed by the state of Wisconsin. The cost of registering a snowmobile in Wisconsin also has changed from $30 for two years to $30 for three years. Trail passes for snowmobiles registered in another state have increased to $50 and will be available through the DNR and select vendors. Visit dnr.wi.gov and search "license agent" to find a vendor.
All revenue generated from the sale of snowmobile registrations and trail passes goes into the segregated snowmobile account, which is used to fund and maintain Wisconsin snowmobile trails. These trails are made possible by snowmobile club volunteers and the landowners who allow the trails to cross their property.
Those interested in joining the local club, The Stateline Trailblazers, can get information and a membership application at www.statelinetrailblazers.org. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Juda Community Center.Information on other area clubs can be found at AWSC.org.
