Annual Meeng Minutes from March 24, 2018‐ cont’d

Where does the money come from, and where does it go? Many aren’t aware of the various funding sources or expenditures.

Registraons are at 232,265 currently. Trail pass numbers (all passes) higher this year than last year.

SNARS ‐ 3/4 done with effort to get grooming units correctly classed.

Queson ‐ There has been an excessive amount of off‐trail riding ‐ any way we can get the DNR to put a note ‐ this trail pass gives you the right to ride on marked, open trails, off‐trail riding will be considered trespass‐ ing. Dave responds that we will meet with the DNR and bring that up.

AWSC Execuve Officer Reports

President Dave Newman ‐ Thanks to the office, Lori Pohl and office staff for a great job with trail passes and memberships being processed. Most people seem to have trail passes on their sleds this year. SNARS program is required this year; you need to work with your county coordinator to get your paperwork submied. Snowmobile Rec Council met in Eagle River in conjuncon with the VIP ride ‐ all counes must have their trails GPS’d by April 15. 36 were in at last count. Need to get a handle on how many miles each county actu‐ ally has, to determine what new miles can be funded. Some grooming equipment isn’t in the right category, that’s being worked on. When purchasing new equip‐ ment, be sure you know the rates for that equipment before you buy it. Cathy Burrow or Gary Hilgendorf can help you with that if you need assistance. Infrastructure subcommiee met this week, are making some recommendaons to the council ‐ some re‐ garding Class 2 or Class 3 drags, set specs for fully tracked trucks, drags that have wings on them. AWSC execuve board members will again meet with DNR personnel Trail passes being purchased for snowmobiles that do not belong to the member to give away or sell has been stopped by tying into the DNR database, worked with the DNR and Lori Pohl to take care of that prob‐ lem. Beer communicaon with club members is important.

Free death and dismemberment insurance through American Income Life has been disconnued, we were nofied recently. As of May 11, it will no longer be available.

Conservaon Congress Spring Hearings April 9 in each county, also county deer advisory hearings are going on now.

2019 will be AWSC’s 50th anniversary ‐ will be a special issue of Wisconsin Snowmobile News, Facts and His‐ tory, also special events at convenon, which will be held here in Green Bay March 22‐24, 2019.

Queson about the difference in registraon numbers and trail pass numbers ‐ some people in parts of the state didn’t ride, so they didn’t buy a trail pass, some on private property, some may have ridden without a trail pass.

Snowmobile Friendly Community Awards

Snowmobile Friendly Community Awards will be presented at the Annual Meeng Saturday morning

S F C P:

Early in 2017, the AWSC Execuve Board created an ad hoc Commiee and directed it to explore the feasibility of cre‐ ang a Statewide Award/Recognion Program the AWSC could use to recognize and/or reward the volunteer efforts of its 600+ Clubs and the Communies they reside in. Although small, the new “Snowmobile Friendly Community Com‐ miee” went to work. Inially comprised of three Execuve Board Members, one Club Member, and one Staff Member, the Commiee held a few planning meengs where they reviewed a wide variety of ways to build a recognion program to meet the goals laid out by the Execuve Board.

By 2018, the SFC Commiee had finalized their Program and the AWSC formally announced and introduced the new “Snowmobile Friendly Community Program” to the Directors, Reps, and Clubs.

There are three main goals to the AWSC’s Snowmobile Friendly Community Program:

1. Create an Award: to recognize/thank the volunteers in the Club and Community who work relessly to support, pre‐ serve, and/or protect snowmobiling…(in short, no maer how large or small the community, award them with a sign/symbol celebrang the collecve efforts of their local Trails)

2. Create a Tool to advocate for snowmobiling: The Award would be ulized by the Community, Club, or County to:  Account for and increase visibility of their Volunteers, (celebrate and movate)  Improve relaonships with their Community by/thru:  Engaging with key stakeholders (educate)  Partnerships, acvies, and events (parcipate)

3. Create a Checklist For Success: The SFC Applicaon is a Standardized Checklist or Guide Communies, Clubs, and County organizaons can use to achieve success in four key areas:  Encouragement  Engineering  Educaon  Enforcement

CONGRATULATIONS to the nine communies listed below:

Friendly Algoma has a lot to offer the winter sporng groups with snowmobile trails, cross country skiing and ice fishing. We have places that offer from burgers and fries to steak and the trimmings. We have Von Sehl Winery that’s open year round for tours and you can get to them all by snowmobile or car. We do have hotels that stay open year round. We are a small city, how small? We do NOT have any stop and go lights in our City. Which means we are small enough to say ” Hello” to everybody!! So if you look to visit us, we are open year round with fishing on Lake Michigan!

Kewaunee County has 204 miles of snowmobile trails and the Algoma Snowriders Snowmobile Club takes care of 49 ½ miles of these.

The Eagle River area truly exemplifies a Snowmobile Friendly Community. Our “community” is comprised of four local municipalies: The City of Eagle River, Town of Washington, Town of Lincoln, and Town of Cloverland. The Sno‐Eagles has worked with each of these communies to develop relaonships which promote snowmobiling in the Eagle River area.

The Sno‐Eagles maintains a world‐class snowmobile trail system with vehicle and trailer parking trail‐side and access to snowmobile trails from city and town roads. All Sno‐Eagles equipment is stored in structures on city‐owned land and leased to the club at no cost. The Sno‐Eagle trails are an integral connecon to the enre snowmobile trail system in Vilas County’s 900 miles of trails, Wisconsin’s Northwoods, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In addion, the World Championship Snowmobile Derby, held annu‐ ally in Eagle River, is a major aracon for snowmobilers from across the naon.

Area businesses work cooperavely with the Sno‐Eagles to raise funds needed to maintain safe trails ensuring the Eagle River area is a winter tourism desnaon. It is this dedicated community relaonship with businesses and local government that enables the Sno‐ Eagles to provide a high‐quality snowmobiling experience that aracts visitors to the Eagle River area, the “Snowmobile Capital of the World®”

Snowmobiling is strongly supported by local government, businesses, and people, which undoubtedly makes the Eagle River area a welcoming “Snowmobile Friendly Community.”

Guest Speaker—Sco Eilertson

Sco Eilertson was born and raised in St Paul, MN. Aer graduang from North St Paul High School in 1973, Sco traveled across the US and Canada for three years performing mulple dare‐devil acts as the “Evel Knievel of Snowmobiling.” Jumping things with a snowmobile the way Evel Knievel jumped motorcycles, Sco would jump anything he could get lined up. By 1976, Sco had perfected and was well known for his Towering Inferno Jump. Sco’s performances ulmately led to a call from Evel Knievel himself. Sco and Evel quickly became friends and performed to‐ gether in 1977.

In 1978, Sco enlisted in the US Navy where he served for nine years. While sta‐ oned in Iceland in 1979, Sco organized Iceland’s “First‐Ever” snowmobile race.

Aer separang from the US Navy in 1986, Sco came back to Minnesota and began working for Tousley Motorsports in Whitebear Lake. Aer starng in Sales, Sco quickly rose through the ranks at Tousley, to include serving as their General Manag‐ er for five years. While at Tousley, Sco began working on an idea he had to ride a snowmobile from Minnesota to Moscow, Russia. Aer a meeng with former Vice President Walter Mondale in 1987, the “Dream” was quickly becoming more than just an idea. Only two and a half years later – in 1990 ‐ Sco Eilertson successfully completed his Minnesota to Moscow Snowmobile Expedion with two other Arcc Cat riders.

By 1998, Sco’s passion for snowmobiling led him to a posion with Arcc Cat. From 1998‐2017, Sco served as Arcc Cat’s District Sales Manager for mulple regions in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa unl his rerement from Arcc Cat in 2018.

Sco and his wife Faith live in Hudson, WI. The Eilertson’s have three children: a daughter: Geneva, and two sons: Jacob and Ross.

Blue Mounds State Park Master Plan Revision Informaon

The DNR has announced they are iniang the planning process for the Blue Mound State Park Master Plan Revision. It will begin with a scoping process that will ask what needs to be considered in the new Plan. The result of this process will be a master plan that replaces the exisng 1984 master plan.

People are also encouraged to visit the Blue Mound State Park Master Plan website by going to the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov searching keywords "property planning" and Blue Mound State Park under "Property‐ based plans in progress".

You can access the online survey and provide input by clicking on this link: hps://survey123.arcgis.com/ share/a44b9cf3153842f287857cd98864cb16 This survey provides an opportunity to support a snowmobile connector trail from the Military Ridge State Trail to the regional trail network on private lands north of the park. Snowmobiles currently use the Mound Park Road right‐of‐way for this connecon and we are asking for a safer, more enjoyable trail through the Park.

Comment through the survey will be accepted through March 26, 2019.
