Understanding the Wisconsin Snowmobile Trail Pass

Under the Wisconsin Snowmobile Trail Pass law, effective July 1, 2015, all snowmobiles operating in Wisconsin will be required to display a Wisconsin Trail Pass to operate on trails and corridors. The pass will be 3” x 3” and required to be placed on the lower center of the windshield.

Snowmobile Trail Pass Information for Wisconsin Residents

A $10 discounted annual Wisconsin Trail Pass is available to members who currently belong to both a Wisconsin snowmobile club such as the Prairie Riders Snowmobile Club and the AWSC. Passes may be ordered through the AWSC website. Trail passes will be delivered by U.S. Mail.

The discounted pass will be available for each of your Wisconsin-registered snowmobiles. The Wisconsin snowmobile club that collects your AWSC membership dues will register you with the AWSC and you will receive an email that includes your AWSC membership number. You need this number to purchase the discounted Wisconsin Trail Pass.

Resident owners of snowmobiles registered in Wisconsin who are not members of a snowmobile club and the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC) can purchase a Wisconsin Trail Pass for $30 annually. This pass may be ordered online or purchased at any DNR license sales agent. Trail passes will be delivered by U.S. Mail.

Wisconsin Snowmobile Trail Pass Information for Non-Residents

Non-residents may purchase a $10 discounted trail pass if their snowmobile is registered in Wisconsin and they belong to a Wisconsin snowmobile club such as the Prairie Riders Snowmobile Club and the AWSC. Passes may be ordered through the AWSC website. Trail passes will be delivered by U.S. Mail.
