Snowmobilers in Saskatchewan will now pay $40 per year to license their snowmobile, compared to the previous $9 per year. Why such an increase? The new fee also includes a trail permit, which used to be purchased separately for an additional $65-$90 per year.
The Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association is in favor of the new system, because it solves the problem of people using the trails without buying a permit, and it will generate about $500,000 a year in additional revenue for the 75 snowmobile clubs to maintain the 10,000 kilometers of trails in the province.
