MAINE SNOWMOBILE ASSOCIATION

President’s Message By Mark Chinnock, MSA President

The Maine Snowmobile Association’s first and foremost mission is to provide information, materials and guidance, and to serve its more than 280 clubs and its members. The MSA is a non-profit volunteer organization, which started back in 1968 with a handful of people and has grown every year since to what the association is today. The MSA is a multifaceted organization with many teams, committees and personnel within its walls. At the end of the day, our mission is to do the best that we can possibly do to set the association and its membership up for success and to protect the future of our sport. One of our main focuses is to make certain that your voice is heard loud and clear at the State Legislature when any snowmobile related legislation or issue comes across the table, and to make sure that it is handled in a timely and professional manner with the associations best interest at heart. To ensure that this is done and done correctly we have put in place a paid Lobbyist to be our eyes and ears at the State House in Augusta, and to keep the association and its membership informed on a regular basis. The MSA works closely with the Dept. of A.C.F. Snowmobile Division on promotion and education in regards to safety, laws, snowmobile grants and trail signage. In addition, the MSA Trails Committee contracts with the Dept. to assist with safety and signage education through Trail Inspections and regional signage workshops. We have a dedicated Safety Chairperson as well to help bring safety awareness into our schools and to our young riders. We have recently collaborated with Polaris and Ski-Doo in regards to incorporating the Maine ITS Trails into their onboard GPS systems, Polaris Ride Command and BRP GO, to help provide guidance and a sense of security when navigating Maine’s vast trail system. When it comes to keeping our membership informed as well as snowmobilers traveling within Maine or traveling to Maine looking for information we have a number of ways in which we communicate. Each year MSA puts together the “Snowmobile Maine Guide” which can be found at most snowmobiling hotspots, MSA events, the MSA office as well as the Maine Tourism Association helps with the distribution of these Guides and can be found at most of the State Information Centers throughout Maine. “The Maine Snowmobiler” newspaper is another great resource for all kinds of valuable information like lodging, restaurants, snowmobile rentals, registration and membership info, club events and much more. Our social media FB page is always another great avenue for up to date snowmobiling information, and don’t forget to check out the Maine Snowmobile

SNOWMOBILE MAINE 2024-2025

Association website. The website is packed full with member and rider information along with the current “Trail Conditions” page. The website is interactive and very user friendly. Every year in October the Maine Snowmobile Association puts together the “MSA Snowmobile Show” which showcases the best that Maine has to offer and is a must see. The show promotes anything and everything snowmobile related from dealers displaying sleds and trailers, clothing, helmets, lodging, sporting outfitters, to local clubs promoting their specific area, to vendors displaying trendy new gadgets that make our snowmobiling journeys more enjoyable. There is food and music and we can’t forget the very popular “Vintage Sled” room, so make sure to watch for the dates and mark them on your calendar. Our largest fundraiser is the Super Raffle. The MSA prints the raffle tickets, posters, ban¬ners, does the advertising for the event, and secures the prizes (thru purchases and donations). While the MSA picks up the cost of the event, any club that chooses to sell the raffle tickets keep half of the money raised. These funds can then be used however the club chooses. Only the amount due to MSA needs to be sent in, the rest is immediately avail¬able for club use. These raffle tickets have been proven to be an easy sell! Among our several MSA committees is the “Scholarship Committee”. The Scholarships are given out to recognize students that demonstrate academic success as well as community involvement and volunteerism within their MSA snowmobiling communities. These are some very substantial awards and with the rising costs of education are a welcome source of financial help. At the end of the season in April the MSA hosts an Annual Banquet, and with it comes a new slate of officers, elected and appointed positions are put into place for the upcoming season. Some new faces and some existing ones will guide the association, its 280+ clubs and its 12,000+ members through the year and into the next. The Annual Banquet is always a special event as this is the day that we recognize “The Best of the Best” from that year. Whether it be a Dealer that has gone above and beyond. Or a Groomer that has showed complete selflessness when working countless hours to make sure that they are putting out a premier product for ALL to enjoy, this is the day to show our appreciation. This is just a quick synopsis of what we are and what we do. A couple of things to keep in mind when traveling through your journey as an “active member”. Whatever level it may be on, we are all volunteers, we all have that same passion and commitment to the sport that we love, we all have the same struggles, challenges and rewards at the end of the day, and lastly we are all in this together! This is why we are one of the top three snowmobiling destinations in the nation!

...Snowmobile Maine

Maine’sTrail System The Maine snowmobile trail system consists of over 14,000 miles of mapped trails, including several thousand miles designated as the Interconnected Trail System (ITS). The ITS trails interconnect to form a snow covered ‘highway’ which traverses the state. Given statewide snow cover, a rider could head out from nearly any point on the ITS, and ride to any other location in Maine that is reached by the system. Snowmobilers can plan extended trips, sledding from region to region, staying in a different location each night - or set up base in one location and use the ITS to day trip to other areas. The ITS is numbered, marked and regularly maintained. The system is inspected annually by the members of the MSA Trails Committee under contract with the Snowmobile Program of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry (DACF). An updated map of the ITS system is produced jointly by the MSA and DACF, and is available in the fall for the upcoming snowmobile season. Use the ITS map to make your long distance riding plans. Trail junctions are printed on the map - the distance between the trail junctions is noted by numbers printed along the path of the trail. Adding up total mileage between junctions along a route will result in an approximation of trip length. 10,000+ miles of local trails can provide a slower paced style of riding and allow sledders to really explore a snowmobiling region. Many of these trails also connect with the ITS. Some local trails were established decades ago, as snowmobile club members began to design a way for riders in their area to visit their neighbors, or access the gas station or the village store. As these local systems developed and interest in recreational snowmobiling grew, more trails were added to provide ‘loop’ rides or access to scenic destinations.

A Maine

vacation. For many people it’s filled with losters and lighthouses, summer sun and sandy beaches, campsites and hiking boots, sailboats and seaside picnics. That’s fine, for some.

But for thousands and thousands of visitors and staycationers, a real Maine vacation needs snow. Lots of snow - rolled, packed and groomed to fill 14,000+ miles of winter trail leading from town to town, deep into the north woods, downeast, around western lakes, over frozen fields, meandering through the wintry countryside across the state. Over 80,000 people toured those Maine snowtrails last winter, exploring every corner of the state, by snowmobile. As soon as the snow thickly blankets the ground and MSA clubs begin grooming the white ribbon, the snowmobilers head out. Some ride to spend quality time outdoors with family and friends - some ride to discover the beautiful, frozen locations found along the trail - and to be honest, some sledheads just enjoy piling up the miles. As they ride, they’ll discover businesses and welcoming communities waiting to serve snowmobilers, MSA clubs maintaining the trails, and a schedule of festivals, public suppers, races, and club events to entertain snowmobilers all winter long. What snowy corner of Maine would you like to explore? Snowmobile Maine. Ride Right. Enjoy.

Safety First Observing a few simple safety rules can help to keep you and the members of your riding party safe on the trails. 1. Keep to the right hand side of the trail, especially on a curve or rise. 2. Never operate a snowmobile while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 3. Travel at a reasonable rate of speed for the conditions. 4. Ride defensively. 5. Learn and use snowmobiling hand signals. 6. Be absolutely certain of ice thickness if you choose to ride on a frozen body of water. 7. Yield to all grooming equipment. Groomers may be out on the trails at any time of the day or night and may take up to the full width of the trail. 8. Wear a good helmet and appropriate clothing, and carry maps and maintenance, survival and first aid supplies. Many people have a cell phone with them - a good idea. Just be aware that there are many sections of trail with no cell reception; riders should be prepared to handle any situation that may arise. 9. Leave an itinerary of your ride with a responsible person and notify them of any changes or delays. Although the search and rescue skills of the Maine Warden Service are invaluable in a true emergency, there is no need to call the professionals out on a cold night to hunt for missing riders who aren’t missing at all - just in a different location than originally planned. You can print a simple itinerary form at www. mainesnowmobileassociation. com . Find it the Ride Right In Maine section under the Maine drop-down Menu.

Please stay on marked trails

j Snowmobile Registration Maine resident registration renewals and non-resident registrations are available for purchase online at the Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife web site, www.maine.gov/ifw/. Registrations are also available through dozens of registra tion agents. A list of agents can be found on the IF&W web site. Resident: $56/Season (7/1-6/30). Non-Resident: $120/Season (7/1-6/30), $100/10 consecutive days, $75/3-consecutive days. Questions? Contact IF&W Licensing and Registration Division, 41 State House Sta tion, Augusta ME 04333; 207-287-8000. j Maine Snowmobile Law Handbook Posted on the Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife web site, www.maine. gov/ifw/ . j Trail Fund Donation Sticker Support Maine’s snowmobile trails with your voluntary donation to the state trail fund. Trail fund donation stickers at three donor levels ($25, $50, $100) are avail able when you register your sled. The donation program, which is separate from the registration requirements, is a way to show how much you appreciate Maine snowmobile trail development and maintenance efforts. j Trail Condition Reports Trail condition reports can be found on the MSA web site www.mainesnowmo bileassociation.com , updated most weekdays during the trail grooming season. Reports are voluntary observations of MSA members, not a guarantee of current conditions. MSA members - trailmasters, groomer operators, club officers, trail riders, supporting business owners - are all welcome to submit reports to: www. mainesnowmobileassociation.com . Please include your name and the name of your snowmobile club. Snowmobile clubs, Chambers of Commerce and tourism groups produce maps of much of the 10,000+ miles of trail not included on the ITS map. These maps of regional or local systems are more detailed than the ITS map, due to scale. See pages 16-18 of this publication for a listing of local and regional maps. Instructions for obtaining copies of these maps are also listed on the back of the ITS map and posted on the MSA web site, www. mainesnowmobileassociation.com .

MAINE SNOWMOBILE ASSOCIATION

The MSA encourages all snowmobilers to take a snowmo bile safety course. Contact the Recreational Safety Office at the Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife for in formation (207-287-5220) or check the schedule of cours es that IF&W posts online at maine.gov/ifw/ . Snowmobile Registration Maine’s trail system is partially funded through a sled registration system. All riders, resident and non-resident, need to register their sleds in Maine to ride on the trails. Residents of Maine register at an annual fee of $56 per season. Non-resident registration is $120 for a full season, $100 for 10 consecutive days or $75 for 3 consecutive days. (Plus a small agent fee). There is no trail pass or club membership requirement. The MSA strongly encourages all who ride in Maine to support an MSA club through their membership. A portion of the registration fee is used by the Snowmobile Program of the Maine Dept. of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry to administer and fulfill grants that reimburse snowmobile clubs for some of their trail maintenance ex penses. A portion is credited to a fund to assist in the pur chase of grooming equipment. A portion is used for law enforcement and safety education expenses of the Maine Warden Service. In the case of Maine residents, a percentage of their regis tration fee also goes to their municipality. In many cases the municipalities return those funds to the local snowmo bile club to assist with trail maintenance expenses.

Resident renewals and non-resident registrations can be purchased online on the Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife website, www.maine.gov/ifw/ . Registrations can also be purchased through registration agents. A list of agents is posted on the IF&W site. Most are located in Maine; there are a few in New Hampshire and Vermont. If you need more information about the registration process, contact the IF&W Licensing and Registration Division, 41 State House Station, Augusta ME 04333; 207-287-8000. Snowmobile Law Before heading out on the trail system you should go over the snowmobile law handbook. It’s posted on the website of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife, at maine.gov/ifw/ . Print a copy to have on hand. Here’s a little basic info to get you started: A driver’s license is not required to operate a snowmobile. Liability insurance is not required by law; the MSA en courages riders to have coverage. MSA and snowmobile club membership is not mandatory; such support is welcome and appreciated. There is no speed limit on the snowmobile trails. Riders need to maintain reasonable and prudent speed for the cur rent conditions, taking the weather, trail conditions, trail traffic, operator skill level and other contributing factors into account. You may see a speed limit sign posted by a club or community, generally to protect trail access or for safety considerations. Please observe these locally posted limits.

j Safety Courses Snowmobile Safety courses are offered by the Recreational Safety Office of the Maine Dept. of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife: 207-287-5220. A list of their upcoming courses is maintained by IF&W at www.maine.gov/ifw .

SNOWMOBILE MAINE 2024-2025

You do not have the right to operate your snowmobile on someone else’s land if permission for access has not been granted. There are many places where it is just plain illegal to operate a snowmobile in Maine: in cemeteries, near hospitals and churches, too close to private homes, on public sidewalks, etc... Riding is only allowed on power lines and utility corridors if there is an authorized snow mobile trail. Those trails will be marked and appear on a snowmobile trail map. Riding on railroad track rights of way is illegal, the exception would be an authorized trail crossing. Visit the Operation Lifesaver web site, oli.org , for more information. Finally, in light of terrorism, illegal entry, human traffick ing, and drug smuggling concerns, it’s a poor idea to ride the border slash between the US and Canada. Keep it simple, stick with the marked and groomed snow mobile trails, where landowner permission has already been granted, signs posted and reasonable efforts made to keep the trail free of hazards. Younger operators Younger operators are not legally required to take a safety course before operating a snowmobile in Maine. The MSA strongly encourages that they do so. Be aware that anyone who allows a person under 18 to operate a snowmobile is jointly liable with the minor’s parent or guardian for any resultant damages. All snowmobilers under the age of 18 (operator or pas senger) must wear a helmet. Children under the age of ten who are operating a sled must be accompanied by an adult (under visual-voice control), unless they are riding on their parents’ property with their parents’ permission. Children under the age of 14 may not cross a road maintained for travel while operating a snowmobile. An older operator must cross the sled for them. Operating a snowmobile requires some maturity, skill and strength. Many Maine kids have ridden graduated size snowmobiles since they could manipulate the controls of a mini sled. They become competent operators at a fairly young age, instructed in the rules and ethics of snowmo biling by their parents and grandparents. Children who haven’t benefited from such experience should not be al lowed to operate a snowmobile without training and adult supervision. Where’s the snow? The MSA maintains trail condition reports on line at www. mainesnowmobileassociation.com , updated weekdays during the snowmobiling season. Along with reports vol untarily submitted by club trailmasters, groomers, riders and business members, the site has a number of links to other trail report pages maintained by clubs and businesses throughout Maine. The trail report page was originally cre ated as a courtesy to riders, and continues in that spirit. It was quite a novelty at the time it first appeared on the scene many years ago; now there are numerous internet sources for winter trails information. Reports should not be considered a guarantee of conditions, as conditions can change rapidly.

MAINE SNOWMOBILE ASSOCIATION

If you have trouble finding a report from the area where you plan to ride, try contacting the local snowmobile club, your lodging facility or the area Chamber of Commerce. The MSA trail report focuses on groomed trail riding. Gen erally groomed riding can be found somewhere in the state from mid-December through early April, with prime rid ing found in the months of January, February and March. The longest grooming season is usually found in a north erly widening swath running from the elevated western mountains and foothills up through northern Maine. Great riding can be found in all areas of the state, but southern and coastal areas usually see a somewhat shorter season due to earlier warming trends and proximity to the ocean. Local clubs determine when conditions are right to open the trails in their area. Snow pack alone is no guarantee that trails will be open. The determination is based on factors like the amount of snow on the ground, progress of preseason trail work such as signage, and whether the ground is well frozen. In some areas landowners will re quire an opening date that doesn’t conflict with their pri mary use of the land, and the clubs will of course comply. There are Maine businesses, Chambers of Commerce and tourism organizations throughout the state who will gladly assist with trip planning and local trail information. Snowmobiling has a significant economic impact for many communities in the state, and lodging facilities, restaurants and other local businesses look forward to the arrival of snowmobilers in their area. The advertisements in this guide and listings and links on the MSA web site, www. mainesnowmobileassociation.com , contain information about a number of these welcoming businesses. Depending on where you choose to ride, lodging choices may include resorts (lodging, dining, sled rentals and Please respect “Trail Closed” signs. Services for Snowmobilers

guide service available in one location), modern motels, inns, B&B’s and sporting camps. Some groups prefer to rent cabins where they can prepare meals and enjoy one another’s company in a private setting. Couples may prefer private cottages or suites. Families with youngsters may enjoy a motel with a swimming pool and on-site dining. You’ll find restaurants from home-style cooking to fast food, upscale dining to grab and go. If you have the opportunity, stop by a snowmobile club public supper (or breakfast or lunch...). There’s always lots of good home made food at a can’t be beat price. If you’re planning to rent sleds, reserve the machines in advance. Expect a minimum age for operators, and a damage deposit requirement. The rental agent should go over operation and safety guidelines before you head out. First time riders may consider hiring a recreational guide to lead a knowledgeable tour of the area trails. Remember that in some areas of the state, particularly the north woods, there will be a distance between any stops for gas and food, so plan ahead. The Maine Snowmobile Association The volunteers of the 280 +/- affiliated clubs of the Maine Snowmobile Association accept responsibility for maintaining much of Maine’s snowmobile trail system. Members work with landowners, cut, brush, sign and groom trails, build bridges, purchase, maintain and operate grooming equipment, produce local trail maps, maintain the records and paperwork required for trail and equipment grants, host fundraisers and recruit new members. Some MSA clubs are involved with charitable fundraising events and sponsor safety courses and voluntary trail checks during the season . Early leaders of the MSA successfully pushed legislation

to establish a state snowmobile registration system to assist clubs with trail expenses. Several years ago the MSA successfully lobbied to credit the trail fund with a small portion of the state gasoline tax attributable to snowmobiling. The trail system is supported in part through a state grant program funded by these user pay sources, but clubs must raise funds to cover expenses not reimbursed by their grant. Club fundraising events may include public suppers, dances, winter festivals, swap meets and racing events. Attendance at any club hosted fundraiser is a great way to have fun, meet other snowmobilers and support the club’s efforts. A portion of each club member’s dues goes to support the state association, a non profit organization currently representing 20,000+/- family members and 2100+ business members. The MSA has an office in the state capital of Augusta. Staff includes a publications editor, membership processor and executive director who is a registered lobbyist representing MSA members before the legislature, state agencies and Maine’s congressional delegation. The staff produce a web site ( www.mainesnowmobileassociation. com ), a newspaper ( The Maine Snowmobiler ), an annual guide to Maine snowmobiling (Snowmobile Maine), the statewide map of the Interconnected Trail System and the annual Maine Snowmobile Show and distribute additional information through an email alert system and social media. In addition to membership dues, the state association is supported by publication advertising revenue, the Maine Snowmobile Show, a golf tournament and an annual ‘Super Raffle’. The MSA Scholarship Fund, Inc., a separate but closely allied organization, has helped a number of MSA members with education expenses. To contact the MSA, email msa@mainesnowmobileassociation.com , phone 207-622-6983, visit 7 Noyes Street Place in Augusta or write MSA, PO Box 80, Augusta, Maine 04332. Visit www.mainesnowmobileassociation.com , and like the MSA on Facebook. The MSA and the snowmobile club in your area, or in the area where you ride, would welcome your support.

MAINE SNOWMOBILE ASSOCIATION

Know Before You Go! – Always Check Local Ice Conditions Provided by The International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association

I ce can always be dangerous because of changing conditions and inconsistencies in its thickness, particularly when there is running water beneath it.The safest snow mobiling rule is to never cross lakes or riv ers since ice thickness to support a snow mobile can never be guaranteed. Never venture onto lakes or rivers unless you are absolutely certain of a safe route across the frozen surface. In addition to the danger of plunging through thin ice, you have far less traction for starting, turning, and stopping on ice. Always use extreme caution and travel at lower speeds when riding on ice. Remain seated on the snowmobile to help keep the center of gravity low and to aid in con trolling your machine. A snowmobile can be extremely hard to control on ice without additional traction devices; consequently fast stops are impossible and spinouts far too common on bare ice. Avoid heavy braking to stop; instead let up on the throt tle allowing the machine to slowly coast to a stop. Snowmobile collisions on lakes account for a significant number of crashes because riders often wrongly assume lakes are flat, wide open areas, totally free of obstruc tions. Realize that if you can ride and turn in any direction while operating on a lake,

so can other riders, so the threat of a col lision can come from any direction at any time. Additionally, lakes are not always free of obstructions since ice heaves, slush pockets, or frozen mounds from ice fish ing can be encountered unexpectedly and change from day to day. Never trust the judgment of other snow mobilers by simply following their snow mobile tracks across ice. You are responsi ble for your own safety so, if you choose to ride across ice, be absolutely certain the ice is safely frozen by testing the ice thickness. It is critical to evaluate the ice quality and type before traveling out onto it. New ice that is clear and hard is the only kind of ice recommended for travel. Always avoid: • Slushy ice • Ice on or near moving water (i.e. rivers, currents, channels) • Ice that has thawed and refrozen • Layered or ‘rotten’ ice caused by sud den temperature changes • Other risk factors that weaken or ‘rot’ ice are: • Snow on ice that acts as an insulating blanket that prevents hardening • Pressure ridges in the ice due to wind, current, or ice pressure Know and follow safe ice thickness guide

lines, which apply only to new clear hard ice: Getting Out ifYou FallThrough Drowning is a leading cause of snow mobiling fatalities. If you ride on ice often, consider wearing a buoyant floatation snowmobile suit. It is also a good idea to wear a set of commercial ice picks, which have spring-loaded sleeves that cover the points and are attached to a cord so they can be threaded through the sleeves of your jacket. If you fall through the ice, stay calm. Realize that air trapped inside your snow mobile suit (even a non-buoyant one) and helmet may help keep you afloat for sev eral minutes. Extend your arms out for ward in front of you and onto the unbroken ice surface in an attempt to catch yourself. Kick your feet to help propel you onto the ice, like a seal. If the ice keeps break ing, continue kicking and trying to move toward shore or the direction from which you came. Use anything sharp like ice picks, keys, or a knife to dig into the ice to help pull you forward. Don’t remove your gloves or mitts. Once you are on the ice, crawl or roll away from the hole. Do not attempt to stand up until you are well away from the hole.
