Bring on La Niña!

Knock-knock. Who’s there? La Niña. La Niña Who? La Niña, you know the snowy season!

That’s right and widely reported, we are currently in a weak La Niña, which is expected to run through the winter season, when we will transition to a neutral position, like we have been since February of 2025. But, just to be sure, still do your snow-dance. In this issue of Minnesota Snowmobiling we will give an extensive review of the MnUSA Fall Workshop, put on by Region 8 and held in the Twin Cities, which was well attended with great education sessions. Elections were held, and your new Executive Board is your old Executive Board! Thanks for seeing this transition through to a modern age.

Besides “What’s Cookin’” and “Little-Known Facts,” look for great Christmas gift ideas in this issue.

I did get a chance to meet with Congressman Brad Finstad for lunch the other day in Wayzata and discussed our CRP issue. Working with John, his staff person in DC, I did get a personal phone call about the denial of our changing of the word “annually” to “once” and received an official letter shortly there after of the same. We will continue to work on making this change.

Premium Clubs were approved by the BOD on Sunday at the Board of Directors meeting at the Fall Workshop. Contact me about specifics, and the advantages of being a proud MnUSA club!

Looking back in time (like March of 1991), it’s reported that (ISA) the International Snowmobile Association, a pioneering snowmobile organization based in northern Minnesota, has formally merged with the Minnesota United Snowmobilers Association (MnUSA). Former ISA members sit on the current MnUSA Board of Directors and worked closely with MnUSA to re-write the bylaws. MnUSA President Bill Kullberg said, “with the merger of ISA and MnUSA we will have a strong northern representation.” Kullberg continued, “Now that Minnesota is represented by just one snowmobiler organization, there will be clear benefits.” ISA was organized in 1959 in Ely, MN, and ISA formally incorporated on March 17, 1961. A little history for you all!

Pray for snow, do your snow dance, and bring on La Niña for her snowy performance!

From the MnUSA President

Fall Recap and Winter Hopes

With fall mostly behind us, the focus is on trail preparation and signage. Trails open December 1st for the upcoming snow season.

Fall is always a busy time of year starting out with the kickoff of Hay Days. Clubs are starting to meet and make plans for the upcoming snow season. There were numerous events throughout fall all around Minnesota. It seems like there was an event every weekend during September and October, including the MnUSA Annual Fall Meeting and elections.

Region 8 was this year’s host for the event held at the Minneapolis Marriott West. They did a tremendous job with this year’s event. There were great seminars throughout Saturday afternoon for everyone who was in attendance.

The weekend started out with a Friday evening gathering with good company and pizza for all who attended. Saturday started with the General Membership meeting and elections of the executive officers for the 2025-2026 snow season.

The DNR was in attendance with information and forecast for the upcoming grant-in-aid (GIA) benchmarks and payments. With the non-payment of the third benchmark in 2025 there will be funding for the first and second

benchmarks in the upcoming season. The third and fourth benchmarks will be determined by snowmobile registration and renewals. This is greatly dependent on snow.

With that being said, there was a great presentation from a DNR climatologist who, using current data, has forecasted a near normal to slightly better than average snow season. He made it very clear that he was not a weatherman. Climatologists look at the current data and trends from around the world and make their best assumption from this data. Nothing is a guarantee, but it looks to be a better snow season than the last two winters have been.

We continued the afternoon with training on the new MnUSA membership platform. This was a well-attended class and very helpful. Keep your eyes open for other training opportunities throughout the state. The day finished with a great meal and live entertainment from the Backseat Boogie Band (Doug Franzen).

Sunday was the MnUSA State Board of Directors meeting before heading home. As a result of the elections on Saturday, your current Executive Board was re-elected for another term. We are here to help where we can so don’t be afraid to reach out to anyone of us. Thank you for your confidence in the Executive Board and we will continue to work for this organization to the best of our abilities.

Good luck this fall getting ready for this year’s snow season. As I am writing this, there is talk of our first snow of the season (at least in southern Minnesota). I know the northern most part of the state has already had their first sighting of the great white stuff. We are all looking forward to seeing you on the trails. Safe travels!

From the MnUSA Vice President

Let The Snow Fly!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It’s the beginning of November as I’m writing this for the December issue, but you get the drift! Trail work is in full swing and some of us are holding up until after during deer hunting season to finish up. Flurries are in the forecast, and the temps are dropping, so hopefully the stars are aligning for a good if not great snow year… I’m still hopeful! Thank you for trusting me to continue as your Vice President. I will do whatever I can to help you or your club succeed.

We had a good time at the Fall Conference. A lot of good information was shared, and we had a good turnout for the Membership Management Training. In November I attended the Region 3 meeting and Member Management Training. We had a nice turnout, and a lot of questions were asked, including one on one training after the seminar. I would really like to see other regions follow suit here and schedule a training seminar as well.

The four events each year that are put on by regions, clubs and trail associations, are for all members of MnUSA, not just the Directors. Rendezvous is coming up, and the E-Board is hosting this one at South Shore and Double Tree Hotel in Bemidji, MN. I’m truly hoping to see a lot of people at the Winter Rendezvous this year, especially since this is where we get to ride snowmobiles and enjoy each other’s company.

With that said, we need somebody to step up and start planning the next few years of events. I’m currently working on the Spring Meeting myself, and next year’s Fall Conference is well underway. So, somebody please start working on next year’s Winter Rendezvous, as this event can be profitable and exciting but will take time

to organize. If you are interested in hosting, please reach out to either me or Mike Clevenger, and we will help you get started.

Raffle calendar update: As of Oct. 26, all 6,000 calendars have been distributed to 64 clubs. If you haven’t received yours yet, I’m coordinating with the clubs that still have them in hopes of helping sell all the calendars. I’m very sorry if you or your club have missed out this year, but please understand that we ordered 500 more calendars this year than last, and not all of them were distributed last year, so I felt we were covered. I assure you that we will evaluate this situation and plan to order an appropriate number so that nobody misses out next year. Please be patient with us as we work this out.

To all the men, women, children and clubs who volunteer to support our sport…thank you!

I look forward to seeing you on the trails!

WITH SNOWMOBILE INSURANCE

Peace of mind

As winter sports enthusiasts, we eagerly await the snowy season for the adrenaline rush of snowmobiling. The feeling of the cold air rushing past, the sight of the unspoiled white landscapes—it’s a winter wonderland waiting to be discovered. Amidst the excitement and adventure, it’s essential to ensure that you’re properly protected with snowmobile insurance. Here are a few reasons why snowmobile insurance is a wise decision.

Family and friends

The most signi cant bene t of snowmobile insurance is the peace of mind it brings. Knowing that you’re covered in case of unexpected events allows you to fully immerse yourself in the winter experience. Focus on the breathtaking landscapes and the adrenaline rush of riding, without the nagging worry of potential nancial setbacks.

Protect your snowmobile

Your snowmobile is a valuable investment that deserves protection. With comprehensive and collision coverage, you can rest easy knowing that repair or replacement costs will be covered in the event of certain damage, theft, or accidents. Keep your ride in top condition without breaking the bank.

Be prepared for the unexpected

Accidents can happen, even to the most experienced riders. Snowmobile insurance offers liability coverage, protecting you from the nancial implications of thirdparty injuries or property damage, up to speci ed limits. You can relax and have fun in your winter activities, whether riding on trails or exploring the backcountry, when you have the right protection.

Homeowners insurance

Homeowners insurance may provide some coverage for your snowmobile, but it often has limitations and can have a more costly deductible. A dedicated snowmobile insurance policy ensures that you’re adequately covered speci c to your needs.

Policies can provide off-premises and permissive use, allowing you to con dently have friends and family drive your snowmobile occasionally. You also have the option to add minor operators as drivers, so you can rest easy knowing that you have the right protection if something goes wrong.

Personalized protection

Since no two snowmobilers are alike, snowmobile insurance lets you choose your own coverage options. You can customize your policy to include things like accessory and custom parts/equipment coverage to provide protection if you’ve made enhancements or upgrades to your snowmobile. This way, you can be sure that your insurance plan matches your speci c needs.

Con dence for nancing

Obtaining insurance coverage for your snowmobile is often a requirement from lenders if you have nanced its purchase. Not only does snowmobile insurance ful ll this obligation, but it also provides peace of mind by safeguarding your nancial interests.

Have fun in the winter with con dence, knowing that you have the proper coverage for your situation. Invest in snowmobile insurance and ensure that your thrilling escapades remain just that—thrilling, safe, and unforgettable. Let the snow-covered landscapes be your playground, and let insurance be your safety net.

Legislative News

Happy Snowmobile New Year!

It seems everyone has their own New Year. There is the traditional New Year on January 1, which for me is generally resolving to drop 10 pounds and finding out where my money goes to. Minnesota lobbyists have a legislative new year and that is the start of the 2026 session on February 17.

Perhaps for Minnesota snowmobilers the real New Year is upon us! December 1 is when trails can be opened and our season begins. If you visit mnusa.org there is an active countdown clock down to the second. At this year’s fall workshop in the Twin Cities, our legislative committee and general membership meetings approved our legislative resolutions which are as follows:

• We will continue to move the sales tax exemption for materials used in the construction and maintenance of our trails. Our bill remains active in the Senate Tax committee since last year;

• We will continue to fight for a specialized snowmobile license plate for automobiles;

• We have given conceptual support for DNR enforcement legislation to fight AI-enabled fraud resulting in false registrations and fake stickers. MnUSA will review the actual language of this bill before giving our final approval;

• MnUSA will once again host a reception for our legislators.

Recently there were two special elections in Senate district 29 and 47 because of the death of one incumbent Senator and the felony conviction of another. These elections were won by one Republican and one Democrat, so the Democrats retain their one-vote majority.

Now that the Senate seats are filled by the November election, there are two vacancies in the House. The special election for these seats is January 27. The coming legislative session will be a short, non-budget year before an election. With that said what comes of this session may resemble the snow of 2024 2025! There will be more detailed information to come in next month’s legislative issue.

With the December 1st New Year upon us it would be fitting to accomplish our own December resolutions – like sending in our registrations and having our trail passes ready for the opening day.

As a postscript, make sure to check out our website (mnusa.org) and go to the resources page and get updated on everything from current regulations, safety, trail conditions and the statues that apply to the landowners that make our trails possible.

MnUSA News

CRP Update

I had the opportunity to have lunch with Congressman Brad Finstad in mid-October after receiving a denial letter of our MnUSA initiative to change the policy wording in the CRP document to say “Once” vs. the current word “Annually” as it relates to reporting requirements. Rep. Finstad was very understanding from our viewpoint and was supportive in providing a letter from his office supporting our position.

An additional point was supported by former State Executive Director Perry Aasness, who attended the same luncheon, stated to me that, “Kurt can handle this at the state level and is what I would’ve done when I was in the position.”

MnUSA will continue to work with Finstad staff in DC and reach out to additional congressional members to get this, simple in our minds, changed for the betterment of our local MnUSA clubs.

Snowmobilers Promoting Snowmobilers!

The American Council of Snowmobile Associations (ACSA) began in 1994 and continues today to be the Voice for Snowmobilers on National Issues.

The State Snowmobile Associations make up the Board of Directors, along with the elected officers. The current officers include:

President Dave Newman from Wisconsin. Dave served as ACSA VP for 2 years and most recently served as President of the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs for 9 years. Dave was self-employed and is an avid snowmobiler, searching for snow when necessary!

Vice President Stan Stutheit comes from Nebraska, where he has served as President, Vice President and Treasurer. Stan comes with a John Deere Farm Equipment Dealership background and has also served as the director for the North America Equipment Dealers Association. Stan always travels to find the snow, from South Dakota to Montana, Wyoming and Colorado.

Serving as Secretary/Treasurer is Len Neisler from Indiana. Len has served in many different roles with the Indiana Snowmobilers Association and has been serving as the ACSA Secretary/Treasurer, a natural position with his Financial Planner background. Len loves to ride and can often be found on the trails somewhere in the Midwest—or as far as Quebec!

Immediate Past President Bert Miller hails from Cody, Wyoming, where he manages a Chevrolet Dealership. Bert served in many levels with the

Wyoming State Snowmobile Association and continues to serve in many roles dealing with public land access with state and national impacts. Bert is an enthusiastic mountain rider and will proudly you tell you riding the West is the Best!

Mark Hazzard is a Delegate at Large and comes from Illinois. Mark is a past president of the Illinois Association of Snowmobile Clubs. Mark served as the ACSA Trails Riding Region Director and continues to provide assistance in many areas. Since retiring as a Manufacturing Engineer, he can be found most often on the trails in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan riding his sled or Side by Side.

Jeff Kracl also serves as an ACSA Delegate at Large. Jeff is from Nebraska and has owned a Yamaha Dealership for 30+ years. Jeff is the definition of a motorhead— he loves to ride snowmobiles and everything else. Jeff has served in many positions with the Nebraska State Snowmobile Association.

Pictured left to right: Jeff Kracl, Mark Hazzard, Dave Newman, Christine Jourdain, Len Neisler, Stan Stutheit, Bert Miller, Dennis Jordan, Past Mountain Riding Region Chair, and Dan Long, Past ACSA President.

FALL WORKSHOP Education in Motion

Region 8 would like to thank everyone who helped pull off a very successful Fall Workshop and Annual Meeting over the second to last weekend in October. All businesses had the opportunity to sponsor our one education focused event we have each year on rotation—Region 9, you’re up next. Special thanks to the Platinum Sponsors: St. Boni Motorsports, Minneapolis Motorsports, Chopper Powersports Maple Plain, Davis Motorsports Delano, MSEAF, Ride Command and Track Inc.

It was a beautiful sunny fall weekend with a first-rate hotel and accommodations, all within driving distance to the Mall of America, Ridgedale Mall, and multiple dealerships. Friday was a great day for setup. An emergency legislative meeting regarding AI, and DNR snowmobile safety training for instructors was held. Afterwards, attendees and guests enjoyed a pizza pop party…and commensuration at Kip’s Irish Pub.

Bright and early on Saturday, the Annual Meeting of the Association was held (summary found in this publication). After lunch, many attendees drove the 12 miles to one of the events— the Open House/Chili Cookoff hosted by platinum sponsor Chopper Powersports out of Maple Plain. In addition to many different types of chili to sample and vote for, there was a halfprice price clothing sale and $20 off any gallon of oil, which kept the dealership humming. Personally, I liked number 6… can I get the recipe? A good time was had by all. Thanks Chopper!

The education portion of the event was next on the docket, kicking off with “Stop the Bleed.” The most preventable cause of death by traumatic injury is bleeding. This course showed attendees how to use three easy steps to stop bleeding.

MSEAF receiving checks from clubs supporting the Vets Ride.

Concurrently, “Climate Change and Variable Winter Conditions in Minnesota” by Kenny Blumenfeld, Ph.D. Sr Climatologist State of Minnesota. You have been asking, and the Minnesota DNR has been promoting, have the last two winters been the new norm when it comes to winter seasons? A discussion was held on how the changing climate affects our snowmobiling riding seasons, and the future funding of our sport.

Next up was “Ride Command” presented by Dave Halsey and Ben Linke. They showed the latest and greatest Ride Command changes, starting with introductory beginners, on how to use the Polaris App, and what the new features are to make your trail ride navigation easy.

At the same time a legislative forum “Political Civility in Uncivil Times” was held. Following the assassination of Senator Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and their loyal dog Gilbert and the assassination of conservative Charlie Kirk, the political environment has grown in uncivility and elevated caustic political rhetoric. With that being the case, this breakout was very well attended. The session was moderated by MnUSA’s lobbyist team of Doug and Christian Franzen, in a conversation between two prominent political leaders, about difficult and divisive political issues, including the future of snowmobiling.

We were honored to have Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon (D) and State Representative Andrew Myers (R). The discussion started around voter ID and fair elections. Simon discussed new technology that is currently being used by the TSA on facial recognition when you board a plane, and whether this technology could be extended to voting. Myers agreed that looking at all opportunities is something he’s open to discussing. Simon continued that any irregularities in Minnesota’s elections have been microscopic, and when you do the math, it’s very small—3 incidents out of 13.3 million ballots—but admittedly, still too many.

Fraud was also discussed—with Minnesota being in the national spotlight over the last year—and what additional scrutiny the federal government will have when it comes to funding for Minnesota, and how does that affect our snowmobile funding and DNR amounts. Secretary of State Simon reminded attendees of the Minnesota Whistleblower Law, and encouraged attendees to take advance of money available to those who turn others in. The state has provided the “carrot” so to speak, for individuals who step up, by offering substantial money to get you to report what you saw or are seeing. The Walz administration hopes that this reminder will help slow the tide of fraudulent activity.

A snowmobile-themed license plate was discussed, with Rep. Myers wanting to make a “winter-themed”

plate with ice fishermen included—splitting funds 50-50 between snowmobilers and ice fishermen. That notion was stopped immediately, and now Rep. Myers knows where we are coming from. He said he would be supportive of our cause, as this could be a good funding source now and into the future, as your plate will come due annually. We successfully got the PFAS Bill to exclude snowmobile suits, boots, gloves, 120’s and other snowmobile items that potentially have PFAS in them. Sales tax legislation was also discussed and will be pursued again in 2026.

An additional seminar that was going on was the “Fundraising, Trail Stops, and Other Fun Activities,” being facilitated by Heather Berndt of the River Valley Trail Blazers. She taught attendees on how a successful snowmobile club can have fun, maintain their funding, and still create a fun environment for existing club members, and new club members too!

Simultaneously, a new group of breakouts started at 3pm. “Effective Trail Signing” by Kim Raap, owner of Trails Work Consulting in Sioux Falls, S.D., was facilitated by Scott Wakefield, and gave an extensive deep dive into suggested signing.

Topics included:

• Maintaining what you put up

• How fewer signs is better

• Faded signs must be replaced

• Keeping signs at eye level

• IASA guidelines on placement location

• Advanced placement of signs, to a stop sign based on speed, and deceleration distances

• The couple that stays together at a stop sign and a stop ahead sign

• The most important signs you can put up

• An extensive panel of photos of good and poor signing

• Making sure you’re signing for groomers and not just snowmobiles

• The second most important sign—diamonds

• Signs not for local riders

• Use specific caution signs, not the redundant caution. For example: a caution sign with rock, culvert, driveway, drainage ditch, etc. underneath

• Try to reduce stacking signs on one post, and if you have too, the most important sign goes on top.

• Bridge markers—the black lines face into the bridge, not the other way around

• Use informational signs and directional signing at trailheads, and major intersections.

In addition to the presentation, a discussion was held on the pamphlet IASA (International Association of Snowmobile Administrators) Guidelines for Snowmobile Trail Signing and Placement.

The other presentation was conducted by Website Chairman Randy Vannet on the new membership management program. Attendees were given opportunities to learn how to navigate the web page and how to maintain a club’s memberships, pay dues online, and print membership cards.

At the conclusion of the extensive education seminars presented, it was time to give our brains a break at the

well-attended reception, followed by a wonderful meal and live entertainment by the Backseat Boogie Band. It lasted into the evening, but not too long, as directors needed to attend the Director Meeting the next morning at 9am, along with the presentation of the Executive Board who were elected the day before at the Annual General Membership Meeting.

Made in Minnesota – Built for Trails!

Marshall Rollr Blade is a trail roller with an adjustable blade, designed to pack deep/heavy snow on trails to create a base that lasts throughout the season. When used in conjunction with a drag, the end result is a smooth, packed trail.

• Roller saves you time and fuel.

• Easy to operate.

• Sideways-slide protection for side-hill trails.

• Hydraulically controlled blade in front of the roller drags snow along and levels bumps before the roller packs the trail surface.

• Roller is made of 3/8” thick x 36” diameter pipe.

• ground for transporting on surfaces other than snow, if needed.

• Built heavy for snow compaction - 4,000 lbs.

MSEAF’s Vets Ride donations continued throughout the weekend.

Youth News Hillman Swampstompers

On November 1, the Hillman Swampstompers youth got together and went through our storage building and cleaned and organized getting ready for this season. Part of the project was to go through and replace old, faded signs or scrape any busted post and make a new post and sign. The hope is that it will speed trail setup and maintain a well-marked trail system. It didn’t take much time, and a lot of sled talk went on over some pop and pizza.
