REMEMBERING
JOHN DEE
This year we’ve lost some pretty important people in the Michigan snowmobile world. Life tends to move at a high rate of speed for many of us and it’s important to stop and appreciate those who make an impact on our lives.
John Dee’s passing hit me hard, like it did for so many other snow lovers. He was a gentle soul, with a love for everything snow, his family, and the Keewenaw, and that love resonated in everything thing he said and did. John was a volunteer, husband, father, woodworker, craftsman, snowmobiler, and a guy who just loved life in general.
Many of us “met” John when the internet started to become accessible to more people in the early 2000s. JohnDee.com was a dream to many of us diehard snowmobilers, as we sat every morning hitting the refresh button to see if he updated his snow forecast. We stared at webcams around the state hoping and praying for big snow numbers. The days he didn’t provide an update felt like a day with a giant hole in it.
If you were a regular to his Sunday journals, you became part of his life just by reading. From his adventures with the dogs, building his house and shop, or the adoption of his daughter, we all got to be a part of his life. If you subscribed to his blog, “Snow Church,” you got a glimpse of his lighthearted personality. The man could straight-up get goofy at times, but he made us all laugh. At the same time, he was able to explain the weather at a level that we all could understand. To say he was inspiring would be putting it mildly, and so many of us envied where he got to live and the lifestyle he chose.
Because John became the “go-to” for weather conditions, I spent a lot of time on his website. I tuned in to his journals on Sunday evenings and remember him talking about making the move from Illinois up to the Keweenaw. This inspired me to push harder every year to be able to make my own move up north. When I finally had the opportunity to move, I shared my story on his forum much like he did.
January of 2008 was the first time I got to ride with John, and I felt like I was riding with a “Legend.” I was lucky enough to have gotten a chance to ride with him at least a half dozen times and it was always an adventure! Even when the snow was bad, or he wasn’t healthy enough to ride, we’d meet for lunch and talk about riding. Those are memories I will never forget.
You never really realize how important a person is until they are gone. Looking back now, I realize that I took his forecasts and website for granted because the information he shared was always there. Although we only got to talk occasionally, I took those conversations for granted too. I will miss the bright colors of blues, pink, and yellow that he shared in his forecasts, his sense of humor, his willingness to share his life, and the passion for snow that we all shared with him. I wish I had the opportunity to thank him for all he gave to us snow-lovers and sledheads. He was a great role model, friend, and human and will be deeply missed by the snow community and all the people who knew him.
Rest in Peace, my friend, and “Think Snow.”
VP NOTES
By: Todd Maschke, MISORVA Vice President
THE VALUE OF WORKING TOGETHER
“Michigan is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes and natural features in the world. Our quickly growing off-road community shows how much Michiganders love getting outdoors to experience it. With the signing of this bill, we are renewing state support for our unparalleled off-road vehicle trails and the infrastructure necessary to enjoy them. Michigan will continue to be a place with safe access to explore our grand outdoors.”
On May 9, 2023, representatives from the Michigan Snowmobile and ORV Association (MISORVA) along with representatives from the Department of Natural Resources, testified in support of HB 4515.
Representative, Jenn Hill, with the help of MISORVA, has taken the lead on this important legislation. The bill amended Section 324,81116 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. The amendment removed the expiration date on license fees for off-road vehicles (ORVs).
Currently, under the existing act, the owner of an ORV requiring licensure must file an application for a license with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) or with an ORV dealer or DNR license agent. Licenses are valid for one year beginning April 1.
The current fees for a license are as follows: For a license that does not authorize the operation of the ORV on state ORV trails, $26.25. (This license authorizes operating the ORV on eligible county roads, the frozen surface of public waters, and eligible state and national forest roads.) For a license authorizing
operation of the ORV on state ORV trails and scramble areas, $36.25. (This additional $10 purchase is described as a trail permit supplemental to the basic license described above.)
In 2013, Section 324.81116 was amended to provide that no fee would be charged for an ORV license or trail permit beginning April 1, 2019. In 2017, that date was extended to April 1, 2024.
Act No. 217 Public Acts of 2023 (Formally HB 4515) , approved by the governor, November 22, 2023, becomes effective February 13, 2024. The proposed bill removed the sunset language and retained ORV license fees beyond that date.
Why is that important?
Section 324.8117 - 324.8119 prescribes what to do with these funds. Without these funds being put into the various accounts what would happen to the trail system as we know it? Back in 1994, when the ORV program rolled out, I do not think anybody realized how it would evolve into what it has now. MISORVA and the DNR are constantly looking at ways to improve the ORV program. MISORVA does not feel starting again with a fresh slate is the answer. MISORVA feels it is best to approach the areas with the direst need and work to get the legislation amended.
Did you know that in the Fiscal Year 2021-22, ORV fees generated $11.4 million for the ORV Trail Improvement Fund and the ORV Safety Education Fund? These funds are used to support the DNR’s ORV grant programs. They also support appropriations for parks and recreation, law enforcement, as well as departmental administration. The legislation received unanimous, bipartisan support and was signed by our governor on November 22, 2023. This, members, is progress and shows the value of working together!
DIRECTOR’S VIEW
HELP THE COMMUNITY
BY: KAREN MIDDENDORP, MISORVA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Ihave heard the same conversation from many clubs and grant sponsors across our state. They all say their volunteers are dwindling because they are getting older. While I am sure this is a portion of the reason, there are others. While it’s true we all get older every day, the question is, why aren’t younger enthusiasts stepping forward to help?
There could be many reasons for this. We may not make events attractive or fun enough for younger families to participate. We may not be communicating events to the general membership or just informing the same few who always show up because it’s easy.
There are many times when work needs to be done during the middle of the week, but trail work in the fall can be enjoyable. It’s great to be out on the trail with other members on a Saturday, doing the brushing and signing. When many people work together, the task can be completed quickly. Another common comment is, “Our membership keeps dwindling. How can we turn this issue around?”
The answer is community involvement! Attend your local Chamber of Commerce meetings and learn about the issues your local business owners and administrators face about the economy. They will tell you they need more people to use their services to create revenue. If you show interest, they will return the favor.
Think about starting a local high school scholarship program, provide a snowmobile and ORV safety class, and donate funds to various community programs during the holidays. Do something for your community! Get involved at the local and state level.
Please keep in mind the following information: MISORVA relies on your membership dues and support to continue working with our state leadership and DNR. Similarly, your local club also needs your help. They are responsible for maintaining your trails, and our trail funding programs for snow and ORV leave many necessary items for the clubs to purchase. This includes pole saws, chain saws, and various other tools, safety equipment, heat, and lights for the groomer barns to maintain equipment. Be a member, help where you can, when you can, and always remember to RIDE RIGHT!

MISORVA NEEDS YOUR HELP WITH HB4459
By: Joe Bartlett, MISORVA Legislative Committee Chairperson
The Legislative Committee is facing a challenging 2024 agenda, with one of the main matters being HB4459. This issue is currently in the House Natural Resources, Environment, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation Committee, led by Representative, Laurie Pahutsky. We will need your help to push this bill out of committee and onto the House floor for a vote; letters of support from trail users are greatly needed. After that, the bill will go to the Senate Committee and then a vote from the full Senate before being sent to the Governor for a signature. The Legislative Committee intends to commence work on this issue from January 1, when the next session begins. Before this date, meetings with the members of the House Committee will be arranged to ensure the bill moves forward.
I’ve included below a list of items that we see need to be addressed for you. They are listed in no particular order of priority:
1. One permit versus two required currently for ORV trail users.
2. The ORV fund procurement process needs to be changed so that grant sponsors can effectively access the funding required for trail maintenance.
3. SAW and ORVAW committees must be established into law to prevent their dissolution, similar to the Equestrian committee.
4. Changes must be made to the ORV signing handbook so the program funds map boxes at all cycle and ATV trail intersections.
5. Signs need to be added to all trailheads in the state for dirt and snow, calling out who maintains the trail, along with a link or code they can scan directing them to contact information.
6. PA288 of 2016 needs to be amended to increase ORV program funding to be used by Grant Sponsors for damage restoration grants.
7. An investigation needs to be conducted into a registration process for ORVs, which could create a Permanent ORV Trail Fund for trail improvement, maintenance grants, damage restoration, and aid law enforcement.
8. Keep a vigilant eye on organizations like “Keep the U.P. Wild” to prevent the loss of riding areas to land grabs.
Given the talent and dedication in this organization, and under the leadership of Paul Anderson, we can achieve great things for motorized recreation in Michigan — always working together. Best regards, Joe.
RIDE SAFE
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH SNOWMOBILE SIGNAL LIGHTS
BY: BRAD BEARDSLEY AND MIKE KEITH
They go by several names including Trail Courtesy Lights, Ride Lights, Signal Lights, Trail Hand and RAD Light, but all these aftermarket LED light brands function in a similar manner to signal oncoming riders if there are more riders in the group they are encountering. These aftermarket products have been around for quite some time, but are gaining popularity every season. Some clubs in Michigan have been highly promoting them. For 2024, Ski-Doo is one of the first OEMs quietly offering them as an accessory for their handguards, and could be considered, by some, as a huge step forward in snowmobile safety acceptance.
Right, wrong or indifferent, hand signal usage on the trails has stirred some heated debate. It can be argued it is safest for everyone to keep both hands on the handlebars and in control of their snowmobile at all times. If you are
your group’s trail leader, you probably feel responsible to protect the riders behind you. Using hand signals, some lead riders claim they are successful signaling to about 90 percent of the oncoming traffic, but the other 10 percent of the time, feel safest keeping both hands on the bars to avoid hitting anyone who may be on the wrong side of the trail as they approach.
Others will contend that lights aren’t necessary and only add expense. Every snowmobile safety class educates on how to RIDE RIGHT, meaning, your common sense should tell you to treat every corner like a snowmobile is approaching, and while riding, you should keep your machine under control, operating at a safe speed and on the right side of the trail. (Like an automobile) Both groups will tell you to always remember, there is no center line on a trail, but the right side is mine.
No matter your feeling, if you see an amber light approaching you this winter, it means there will be more riders in the group behind that leader. When you see the green light, that will signify the last rider in that group. Use whatever practice or device that feels safest for you. Everyone’s end goal is to Ride Safe while enjoying the incredible snowmobile trails in Michigan.
CLUB SPOTLIGHT
SAULT STE. MARIE SNOWMOBILE ASSOCIATION
SOOTRAILS.ORG
SAULT STE. MARIE SNOWMOBILE ASSOCIATION
The Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association (SSMSA) maintains 103 miles of trail in the northeastern part of Chippewa County. Starting near the Soo Locks, the trail head is located on the St Marie’s River at Ashmun Bay where Trail 8 starts.
Riders can also stage at Kewadin Casino in the Soo, or Bay Mills Resort in Brimley, but it is recommended to ask either location if there is available parking that day. Their trail system will take you right to the Soo I-500 race track which is typically a busy trail ride the day of the big race.
Their trails also lead to many of the popular places in the Eastern UP like Kinross, Brimley, Trout Lake, Strongs, Hulbert, Paradise and right to the front door to two casinos along with many more amazing places.
Trail maps are available to view online, can be picked up at most local businesses, and also posted to map boards along the trail route.
The town of Sault Ste. Marie is also snowmobile friendly as they allow snowmobiles on most of their streets in town.
One spot that is always a favorite stop for riders is the Mission Hill overlook. Many amazing pictures are taken here as you can see two frozen lakes along with the St Marie River and our neighbors to the north, Canada, is located on the other side of the river. This is also a great spot to catch the Northern Lights if the conditions are right.
SSMSA does an amazing job with a full staff of 30 volunteer groomer operators and a dedicated team who go out every Sunday during the spring, summer and fall to brush and sign trails. Follow their Facebook page to see the updates each Sunday just to get an idea of how much
work it takes to maintain 103 miles of trail, then volunteer to help. There is no off season when a club has the pride in their trails like SSMSA club does. They have a member who works nearly full-time posting updates on Facebook to include content regarding trail reports, upcoming special events, stories of concern, shout-outs of thanks or requests for volunteer help.
They have awesome support from 32 commercial sponsors in the area and another 70 regular members. They are a snowmobile-only club as their trail system only has eight miles of dual-use trails in it which are maintained by the local ORV club, the Chippewa County SORVA. SSMSA does however help them when they need extra trail help.
The club holds several social and fund raisers a year including a fall Dice Run for ORVs, a snowmobile poker run, and a trail stop during the snowmobile season. Members have the opportunity to go on a groomer ride along. The club is looking to the future with hopes to build a groomer barn in Kinross where their second groomer is stationed. This addition will allow them to service and house this groomer and make it easier to maintain the southern portion of the trail system.
As you read this, most parts of Michigan are in the best part of the snowmobile season, and if you have ridden SSMSA trails and enjoyed them, please search out their website and show them some appreciation by becoming their newest member!
I promise, you will never get asked to volunteer other than telling fellow riders yes, I am member of the Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association. All clubs rely on volunteers and memberships to do what they do, Snowmobiling is 100 percent user-funded to make their trails as great as they can be. Please join a club today!

MICHIGAN DNR CELEBRATES REOPENING OF DOLLAR BAY TO LAKE LINDEN TRAIL SEGMENT
By: John Pepin, Deputy Public Information Officer Michigan Department of Natural Resources
Supporters and partners joined the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in Houghton County to celebrate the reopening of a roughly 8-mile segment of snowmobile and off-road vehicle trail devastated by a historic storm in 2018.
In what is likely the Michigan DNR’s largest trail repair project, $10.5 million was spent for work taking contributions of time, money and expertise from numerous sources and years to complete.
Michigan Department of Natural Resources Parks and Recreation Division Chief Ron Olson, far right, talks today with attendees at a trail reopening ceremony in Dollar Bay in Houghton County. Also pictured, left to right, Daryl St. John of the Keweenaw ATV Club, 110th District Rep. Greg Markkanen, DNR U.P. Field Deputy Stacy Welling-Haughey and DNR Upper Peninsula trails coordinator Ron Yesney.
“The bottom line of why we do this stuff and why we spend the money and the resources is to provide people with an enrichment and in the end it’s lifelong memories,” said Ron Olson, Chief of the DNR’s Parks and Recreation Division. “ When you ride down a trail like this, what you remember is what’s important, and the experience you have.”
Olson said the trail also provides opportunities beyond economic benefits and tourism for improved health and well-being. He said a trail outing can help reduce stress.
“You can ease yourself and you can enjoy yourself and forget about some of the problems of the day,” Olson said.
The Father’s Day flood in June 2018 dumped seven inches of rain over the Houghton-Hancock area in the span of only a few hours.
Coupled with the steep terrain of the surrounding hills, the rain rushing downhill washed out or plugged numerous culverts and damaged or destroyed roads, homes, streets, trails and other places where the water sought its level.
Among these features was the Dollar Bay to Lake Linden segment of Trail No. 3, which was constructed from a decommissioned railroad line.
In the wake of the historic storm, repair work was needed at 171 sites along the 7.8 miles of recreation trail. Just over 100 culverts needed to be replaced and 34 major washouts needed repair.
“Some of the washouts were 80-feet deep and 240-feet across.”
- Ron Yesney, Upper Peninsula trails coordinator for the DNR’s Parks and Recreation Division
Ron Yesney, Michigan Department of Natural Resources Upper Peninsula trails coordinator talks at the trail reopening ceremony today in Dollar Bay.
The damage to this part of the trail was so great that many feared the trail segment might never be rebuilt. But with the help and considerable efforts of several state agencies, lawmakers and other partners, the nearly $11 million project to reopen the trail has now been realized.
“Getting this project engineered and constructed was a monumental task,” Yesney said. “I’m real proud of the effort to restore this trail and I am thankful to all those who participated in the reconstruction.”
Speakers at today’s ribbon-cutting commemoration, along the trail in Dollar Bay, included Olson, Yesney and DNR U.P. Field Deputy Stacy Welling-Haughey and state 110th District Rep. Greg Markkanen, Daryl St. John of the Keweenaw ATV Club and Ryan LaPorte of the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club.
“This trail is just incredible,” Markkanen said. “I want to commend the DNR for their commitment to this project, and they finally get it done, everyone’s here today, it’s just a very emotional moment.”
Markkanen also praised the “phenomenal” work done by construction crews on the trail restoration project.
Daryl St. John of the Keweenaw ATV Club is ready to cut a red ribbon held across the Dollar Bay to Lake Linden section of Trail No. 3 today in Houghton County.
He applauded restored access to recreation opportunities going north from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden.
“It’s so important to our economy, to our local businesses, to our groups and to our communities as a whole,” Markkanen said.
Those gathered for the ceremony stood on the trail behind a red ribbon drawn tautly to be cut by St. John in celebration of the trail work’s completion.
“Everyone here had something to do with this, please come and stand here with us,” Haughey said.
About 60 people attended the event.
Funding for the $10.5 million project was derived from numerous sources, including $4 million in a state general fund appropriation allocated through the Michigan Economic Development Corp., $2 million from the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, $2.1 million from state ORV funds compiled from fiscal years beginning in 2018, $1.5 million in federal Land and Water Conservation Fund granting and $.5 million in snowmobile program money.
DNR partners on the project included the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, the Michigan Department of Transportation, Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget, B&B Contracting, DP Construction, Bacco Construction Co., MD Contracting, Blue Line Sit Solutions and OHM Advisors.
