By joining a snowmobile club in Kenosha County — and there are five to choose from, as well as clubs in every county in the state of Wisconsin — you will be represented locally and at the state level.

Each person who joins a snowmobile club based in Kenosha County is a member of the Kenosha County Alliance of Snowmobile Clubs on a county level, and the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC) on the state level. “The Alliance,” as the Kenosha County Alliance of Snowmobile Clubs is often called, meets monthly to address concerns that affect every club in the county such as grooming, trail maintenance, DNR concerns and dealings with the Kenosha County Sheriff’s office. The clubs in the Alliance work together to mark the 85 miles of state-funded trails in Kenosha County while each of the member clubs takes care of the club trails that make up the other 115 miles of trails in the county.

The Alliance elects a director and a representative to take the Alliance’s concerns to the state level. Also, these representatives work with the AWSC to be sure local clubs and members are informed about state-wide issues that impact the support. Among the issues are proposed or pending legislation that could affect snowmobiling, snowmobiling registration fees and changes to them, and other state-wide concerns.
