All prices and permit types →Is the permit for me or for my sled?
For the sled. Permits are issued per snowmobile, not per person, and the buyer is responsible for the permit.
Can I buy permits for several sleds at once?
Yes. Add a permit for each sled to one order and pay once.
How do the 1-day and 3-day passes work?
A 1-day pass is good for 24 hours from the start date and time you choose. A 3-day pass covers three days in a row from your chosen start. Day passes are sold online only and can be printed at home.
What counts as a vintage snowmobile?
Sleds from 2007 and older. Vintage permits are sold online, and you'll upload proof of registration after you pay.
Is there a discount for families with several sleds?
Yes. A household that buys more than two trail permits gets back 50% of the lower-priced permit for the third permit and every one after it, based on early-bird rates.
