The bulk of the work to create, manage and keep up our state’s snowmobile trails falls on the shoulders of one of the largest volunteer groups in the state — nearly 600 snowmobile clubs.

Well known for its pristine snowmobile trail system, Wisconsin is regarded as one of the top three snowmobiling destinations nationwide, according to the Association of Snowmobiling Clubs of Wisconsin. As a Wisconsin snowmobiler who has enjoyed the beauty of more than 25,000 miles of marked and groomed trails in our state, you can understand how our state has won that reputation.

These trails are made possible though the volunteer efforts of snowmobilers who are members of an AWSC club.  Without the AWSC club volunteers, Wisconsin’s system would not exist.

These club volunteers have the responsibility of securing trail easements, placing necessary signage on the trails, brush, groom and maintain trail grooming equipment.

By belonging to an AWSC snowmobile club, you are helping to keep the sport strong. In addition, your membership fees enable the clubs to continue to improve their trail system, which benefits your home trails, the local economy and Wisconsin’s tourism economy overall.
