Winnipeg – Snoman (Snowmobilers of Manitoba) Inc. is pleased that Manitoba Public Insurance has released the highly visible plate for snowmobiles. The colored plate will assist with enforcement for enforcement agencies and is something that Snoman has been asking for.
“This is certainly a positive step and will help with providing more recognition for Snopass holders on the trail network,” said Alan Butler, President. “Whether you’re using the trails or accessing a shelter, our volunteer clubs pay for the maintenance and upkeep and it is important that all who use these services contribute.”
Snoman encourages those who have already received a sticker for this season to visit a MPI location and get the orange plate. A regular Snopass is $150 per riding season and a 7-day pass is $75.50. If one decides not to renew their Snopass the orange plate has to be returned to MPI and revert to a regular ORV plate. Reverting to a regular ORV plate means lack of access to the Snoman trail network.
“Our volunteers work countless hours to provide this winter recreational activity for riders to enjoy safe well-groomed trails,” said Yvonne Rideout, Executive Director. “This will make the process for snowmobilers simpler and we look forward to the rollout on December 1.”
Snoman Inc., a not-for-profit organization, is dedicated to providing strong leadership and support to its member clubs to develop safe and environmentally responsible snowmobile trails to further the enjoyment of organized recreational snowmobiling in Manitoba.
