What is a snowmobile club?

A snowmobile club is a non-profit organisation, with a Board composed of volunteers. The club ensures the smooth functioning of snowmobiling on its territory. Volunteers develop and maintain trails and infrastructures prior to installing signage, along with organising activities for its members. Clubs also include trail security officers amongst their volunteers, with their mandate being member safety.

The primary funding source for snowmobile clubs is trail permit sales revenue (user/pay principle). Monies from these sales are re-injected into trail maintenance, signage purchasing, bridge construction, to name but a few.

How to join a snowmobile club?

To locate the coordinates of a club, consult our snowmobile clubs directory.
