July 1, 2015. Act 142 requires each sled operating on public trails and corridors in Wisconsin to display a Wisconsin Trail Pass to be purchased annually. This is separate from the Wisconsin snowmobile registration.

Once Act 142 is implemented, if your membership dues with North Lake Nomads is up-to-date and the club has paid your AWSC dues, the cost of the Wisconsin Trail Pass will be $10.00. If you are purchasing the new Wisconsin Trail Pass and are NOT on an Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs – AWSC member and North Lake Nomads club member the cost will be $30.00 per snowmobile.

No – It will be your choice to join either the North Lake Nomads or any one of nearly 600 AWSC snowmobile clubs statewide. Please remember that without the clubs and volunteers there would be NO TRAILS! It is the club volunteers that provide and maintain the Wisconsin Snowmobile Trail System.

The revenue generated from the sale of snowmobile registrations and Wisconsin Trail Passes will go into the state snowmobile program’s segregated fund.

The discounted $10 resident Wisconsin Trail Pass for members will be available after (July 2015) to purchase through the AWSC office in DeForest, Wisconsin. The AWSC and the Wisconsin DNR are currently in the development stages of this procedure. Please remember that the snowmobile clubs will be responsible for purchasing their own Wisconsin Trail Pass. If you are NOT an AWSC member, then you are responsible for purchasing your Wisconsin Trail Pass through the Wisconsin DNR. Snowmobile dealers will be involved in the Wisconsin Trail Pass process.
