2010/2011 Snowmobile Registration Fee Increase

Effective July 1, 2010

Your registration fees are working to keep New Hampshire’s snowmobile trails some of the best and safest in the East. The state’s snowmobile community supported a fee increase in 2010/2011 to protect the quality of our trails.

• Did you know? Most registration fees are distributed directly back to snowmobile clubs for trail maintenance activities through the N.H.Bureau of Trails Grant-in-Aid Program.

• What are the fees for 2010/2011?
Resident (club member)....................... $64
Resident (non-club member)................ $94
Non-resident (club member)................ $84
Non-resident (non-club member)....... $114

• Why the increase? The answer is simple– costs are up. Clubs needed additional funds to avoid having to cut back on trail maintenance activities. Costs for fuel, bridge materials and grooming equipment have risen sharply, while fees have not changed since 2004.

• What else are fees used for? Fees also pay for Snowmobile Safety Education and enforcement, which help make our trails safer for all users.

• Still a great deal: New Hampshire’s snowmobile registration fees are still the lowest in New England.



Your Snowmobile Registration Fees at Work

Maintaining the Trails
Most registration fees are returned to local snowmobile clubs to help pay for trail maintenance through
the Grant-in-Aid program run by the N.H. Bureau of Trails. This program does more than provide funding for fuel to groom the trails – it is also used for summer construction, including supplies such as bridge materials, and allows the Bureau of Trails to provide funding to maintain existing grooming equipment
and help replace worn-out equipment.

A Safer Ride
Registration fees also pay for Snowmobile Safety Education and Enforcement, coordinated by N.H. Fish and Game. Our safe trails help promote snowmobiling as a family friendly winter recreational opportunity. To find a class, visit .www.ride.nh.gov.

Reputation for Excellence
New Hampshire is nationally recognized for its wealth of wide, well-groomed snowmobile trails. By encouraging snowmobile club membership, providing Safety Education and enforcing OHRV laws,
we are working together to provide you with a safe and enjoyable riding experience. These high standards are maintained by your registration fees.

New Hampshire has more than 7,000 miles of the safest and best-maintained trails in the East for you to enjoy!
