Non-Resident Snowmobile Trail Pass

The trail pass is valid from July 1st through June 30th. It is required on all sleds not currently registered in Wisconsin.  The sled must be registered in another state and display that state's registration sticker.
The fine for non-compliance is $122.90 plus $18.00 to purchase a trail pass.

ATTENTION NON-RESIDENT SNOWMOBILERS

Snowmobiles bearing Wisconsin registration are not required to have a non-resident trail pass, even if the owner is from out of state. A 2 year Wisconsin registration is $30, compared to 2 trail passes at $18. Due to the formula used to transfer gas tax revenue to the state snowmobile fund, about twice as much money is generated with a 2 year registration as is with 2 trail passes. The state snowmobile fund is where the money comes from for grooming and trail maintenance. By having Wisconsin registration instead of a trail pass, you save $3/yr and contribute more money to the state fund.

It is perfectly legal to have Wisconsin registration on your snowmobile in addition to your home state's registration. You do not need a Wisconsin address; your home address can be used for a Wisconsin registration. Once you have a Wisconsin registration, it can be renewed online at the DNR website. Wisconsin registration applications can be obtained at any DNR office, at any dealer who sells snowmobiles in Wisconsin, and at many dealers out of state near the Wisconsin border.
