appy November! I hope everyone is having a great Fall! In September/October I had the chance to experience a few exciting events including the Wausau Grass Drags and Swap Meet, Wide Open Wisconsin, Donahue Super Sports Yamaha Snowmobile Celebration, and, of course, the AWSC Fall Workshop. They were all amazing and each included rockstar volunteers who helped make them each a huge success.

If you love to snowmobile, this is a great time to join a club and become more involved. Right now, clubs all over the state are getting trails brushed and ready for snowfall, marking trails, organizing fundraisers, and more. There is always something a club will need help with! Volunteering in your local snowmobile club is also more than just helping; it’s about supporting the sport of snowmobiling and where you build lasting friendships while making the snowmobiling experience better for everyone. While riding is beautiful and exciting, there is so much more that needs to happen at the local, state and national levels to get the trails ride-ready. Here’s why it’s essential to join a club and help however you can.

Support for Landowners and Trails Access Snowmobile club members play a key role in keeping trails safe and open. When you volunteer for trail maintenance or grooming you help ensure that everyone can enjoy the trail system. Respecting the landowners and maintaining our trails show that we care about our sport and the places where we all ride.

Even more, clubs work to protect riding areas and promote safe riding practices. You can help advocate for these important issues, making sure that the voices of snowmobilers are heard. Your involvement helps to protect riders and the trails we enjoy.

Build Lasting Friendships Snowmobile clubs are not just groups; they are caring communities filled with incredible people of all ages who share the same passion. Volunteering helps you connect with fellow snowmobilers, allowing you to form strong friendships and make new memories.

Whether your club is organizing events, going on group rides, or helping with local projects, you create a welcoming environment that encourages newcomers to join.

Make a Positive Impact Finally, volunteering is a way to give back to the sport we all love.

Your time and effort can make a big difference in your club and within the community. Whether you’re organizing events, leading rides, helping maintain trails, or even website updates and social media posts, every little bit helps strengthen the sport and ensure its future.

Joining and getting involved in your snowmobile club is crucial for the future of the sport. It helps build a strong community and friendships, develop a great trail system, encourage new riders, and makes the riding experiences for everyone even better. By sharing your time, you make a difference and contribute to the future of snowmobiling in Wisconsin. United we trail, divided we fail!

PRESIDENT’S COMMUNIQUE

NEXT GEN RIDERS: BRIDGING THE GAP IN SNOWMOBILING AWSC.ORG By: Lori Heideman, President, AWSC

J

ust over a year ago, I was approached by several young adults.

All of them were snowmobilers who belonged to clubs. They had been tossing around an idea and wanted some input. The idea was to find a place for young adults to help other clubs around the state. They had come up with an idea but had no idea how to get it implemented or how to proceed to make it successful.

As I was listening to them, pretty much what I heard was that they wanted to be useful. They wanted to help. They were struggling with how to make it work. They wanted to be called the Next Gen Riders and wanted a place in the AWSC. As we talked about their ideas, at the very least, I felt they deserved to be heard.

As I stated earlier, we have now implemented a new committee within the AWSC. It is called the Next Gen Riders. They have already made bylaws, to further their mission statement and to become successful within the AWSC. They do not want anything from the AWSC other than to be helpful to us and other clubs throughout the state. We have given them a small budget to work with. They sold clothing items and Next Gen stickers at the fall workshop. The proceeds will help them with travel expenses and costs to cover helping out at our KAOS winter ride.

You will learn more about these young adults in this magazine (page 17) as they will be introducing themselves. They have some really good ideas and have already stepped in to help mentor our KAOS program. I am looking forward to working with them and filling some of the gaps we have in our program.

See you on the trails!

2025

SNOW

We planned to talk to the directors and reps and get their input.

At the director’s meeting last fall, these young adults laid out their plans and their mission. We opened the meeting up to answer questions. To me it was a bit disappointing, there was not one question asked. As a result, I asked the directors to make a motion where we could set up a committee to oversee these individuals and give them input. That motion was made and approved. We now have a Next Gen Riders Committee within the AWSC.

For many years, we have talked about how much older we are getting and how we need younger people to get involved. Our KAOS program does an outstanding job of getting youth involved but when they age out at 21 years old the opportunities for them to stay involved fade. We have begun to realize that the 21 to 35-year-olds are also the ones we need to connect with.

Sometimes KAOS are moving on, some going to school others getting jobs. To make our organization fully successful and to keep all ages involved, I feel that having some young innovative snowmobilers, who are willing to step forward and learn our roles is very important. They are truly our future.

VP NOTES

WINTER IS COMING: THE IMPORTANCE OF TEAMWORK

preparation. It’s essential to remember that we are all volunteers working toward the same goal: ensuring a successful and enjoyable snowmobiling season for everyone. We might not always share the same level of drive or determination, and, like the festival situation, we may also get caught up in the moment.

Randy Murdock – Vice President

In those times, taking a step back and considering the bigger picture is crucial. Everyone is trying their best. Instead of escalating the situation, let’s focus on being problem solvers. Don’t pour fuel on the fire, let’s work together to find solutions that work for everyone involved. Let’s approach our challenges with a calm mindset. After all, we’re all in this together, and the joy of snowmobiling is what unites us.

A

s we roll into November, the anticipation of winter starts to set in, bringing with it a whole list of tasks and responsibilities. For many, this time of year can feel overwhelming. We find ourselves juggling various chores— winterizing equipment, chopping wood, raking up fallen leaves, finishing up garden work, and, of course, marking and brushing trails for snowmobiling. Each task can add to the stress, and it’s easy to feel swamped by it all.

Recently, I had the opportunity to work at a large festival alongside numerous volunteers. While it was a great experience overall, it also got hectic at times, with lots of moving parts and a variety of opinions and ideas coming from everyone involved. As the day unfolded tensions ran high. It was a classic case of people getting caught up in the moment—a situation we often see with NASCAR drivers and other professional athletes, especially in high-pressure environments. They often talk about how the intensity of the moment can lead to impulsive reactions. It reminded me of the old cattle saying and if you ever herded cattle you know, “don’t take anything I said personally while I was working cattle.”

Reflecting on that festival experience, I thought about how we should approach our challenges, especially as we begin our trail

MISS SNOWFLAKE SCRAPBOOK 2023-2024 AWSC Miss Snowflake

By: Brianna Crotteau

awscmisssnowflake misssnowflake2324@gmail.com

hank you to all of the AWSC members across our beautiful state for making this past year so memorable. All of you do an incredible job! Keep up the great work! I hope to see many of you in the future at various snowmobiling events and on the trail too. Let it snow!

The Ride with the Cup event where I spent two days traveling around with a great group of people to visit numerous clubs and businesses who support the snowmobiling industry.

I was able to meet Dick Decker and learn all about the creation of the Eagle River Championship Derby Races.

What an awesome man.

The Multiple Sclerosis Snowmobile Tour where we raised money for those battling MS. Such a cool event where we could do something good for those in need.

I encouraged many young ladies to run for AWSC Miss Snowflake as this is a once in a lifetime opportunity that you will cherish forever.

Nov 2024 11

I had the honor to join the Sayner Barnstormers in their trail dedication to Carl Eliason and his first working prototype of the snowmobile. It has been 100 years of tracks on snow in Sayner, WI.

My ride on Memory Lake with 6X Watercross World Champion David Fischer.

What an awesome racer, but an even better person that he is. Thanks for the fun David!

I had a lot of fun with the Next Gen Riders group at the International Snow Congress as well as other events throughout the year.

It was great to see a few of the DSG ladies at Hay Days!

Always thankful for our program supporters!

The KAOS group and I at the ISC Groomer Reception. What an awesome job they do all year round!

This is Brian with Tyler’s Backcountry Awareness, one of the Miss Snowflake program supporters I met at Hay Days. I was able to meet up with many of the program supporters this year. Special thanks to Donahue Super Sports, Braap Wraps, Floe Trailers, DSG Outerwear, K/M Motorsports, Airtec Sports, and Unique Signs & Designs for all of their support!

YOUTH PERSPECTIVES

AGING OUT YOUTH ADVISORS REFLECT ON THEIR KAOS JOURNEY

H

ey everyone! My name is Madisyn Gates-Roehl, and I represent St. Croix County as a KAOS Youth Advisor. This is the last year of my 6-year journey in KAOS.

What Has KAOS Done for You? Oftentimes I think, “What would I be like if I did not join KAOS?” I was 15 when I joined KAOS and had very limited knowledge of the AWSC. I was terrified to attend my first event, the winter leadership ride, without my parents and even asked my dad to turn back. Thankfully, he didn’t. KAOS showed me a whole world of people who all shared the same love and passion as I did. I have made so many connections, lifelong friends, and a lifetime of memories. I’ve made lifelong friends and unforgettable memories while also developing valuable skills such as communication, public speaking, leadership, teamwork, and collaboration. KAOS has significantly shaped my outgoing personality and deepened my passion for snowmobiling.

My favorite memory is my first ever KAOS event which was the winter leadership ride. I only knew one person and that was the previous Fond Du Lac County KAOS Youth Rep, Evan Conlon. If it was not for him, his mom Tami Conlon, and his dad Pat Conlon I am not sure I would have even joined. At my first event, I learned so much and I think I talked my parents’ ears off for about a week.

It was so cool to me that there are other youth out there who love snowmobiling just like me. After that event, I knew I wanted to do anything and everything I could to promote youth involvement, organized snowmobiling, and just the sport of snowmobiling.

Advice for Current/Future KAOS Members: My advice for the current youth members and any future is to just go for it. You have a whole state of people who will support you. Share all your ideas, no matter how crazy they are, to your club, county, KAOS, or AWSC. Don’t let anything stop you from sharing your ideas, reaching your goals, and sharing your passion for snowmobiling.

I wanted to end this with a thank you to some people who supported me and influenced me. My parents, Michelle Gates & Derek Roehl, The Yasick Family (Mike, Debbie, Justin, & Josh), The Conlon Family (Tami, Pat, and Evan), Brittany & James Lillion, The Thompson Family, The Burzinski Family (Rodney, Lesia, Lynsey, & Rachyl), Members of Princeton Sno Barons, The Luker Family, Rob Hargrave, Aaron Remley, club members of Berlin River Riders, HEXCO Motorsports, all clubs & members of Winnebago County Snowmobile Alliance, Lily Sno-Birds, Brad & Carrie Lagerman, The Unger Family, Kate & Brian 14 WSN - www.awsc.org

H

ello! My name is Ethan Degner and I am the Jefferson County Youth Advisor. As I am aging out of KAOS that certainly doesn’t mean I am stepping away! I currently serve as the Jefferson County AWSC Rep and I am looking forward to getting even more involved.

What Has KAOS Done for You? KAOS has taught me many valuable lessons not only in snowmobiling, but in everyday life. I’ve learned that there is much more to this sport than simply getting on a sled and riding on the trails. It takes countless hours from many volunteers to make sure we can all enjoy this awesome sport. KAOS has also shown me what it means to be a leader while being a team leader.

Favorite Memory?

My first ever KAOS event will always be my favorite memory! It was the 2021 International Snowmobile Congress (ISC) in Omaha, Nebraska. Before this trip, I had never met any of the KAOS Youth Reps or Advisors in the program at the time. After being talked into applying by my dad, I was shocked when I found out I had

been selected to go! I was nervous about driving out of the state with a bunch of people I had never met. However, once I arrived, everyone was nice and not once did I feel out of place with this group. Looking back, I am extremely glad I made that decision and applied.

Advice for Current/Future KAOS Members: I strongly encourage any youth to try KAOS out. The lessons and memories that are made are unforgettable. Being able to work with people who are just as passionate about snowmobiling as I am makes it all the more fun. I promise you will not regret it!

A big thank you goes out to the AWSC for promoting and encouraging this awesome group of KAOS youth. Thank you all!!

NEXT GEN RIDERS: FUEL THE FUTURE

WE’VE GOT THE 2025 MODELS IN STOCK. Get a 2025 Ski-Doo sled and enjoy winter adventures like never before.

Next Gen Riders nextgenriders nextgenriderswi@gmail.com

ello snowmobilers! My name is Nick Grams, and along with the Burzinski sisters, Lynsey and Rachyl (former AWSC Miss Snowflakes), we’ve started something called Next Gen Riders. Our goal is to support and grow the sport of snowmobiling for young adults aged 21 to 35. We chose this age group because it includes those who are transitioning out of K.A.O.S. and young adults who are either new to the sport or have been riding for years.

It’s really important to grow this sport for its future!

Next Gen Riders want to support snowmobiling at all levels—state, county, and local clubs, whether big or small. We’re here to learn and help so we can keep this sport alive for many more years. We also want to bring in new riders by setting up first-time riding experiences, giving young adults the chance to try out a snowmobile in a safe and fun way.

If we can get even just 1 in 10 first-timers to join our community, we’re making progress!

DONAHUE SUPER SPORTS PRESENTS A YAMAHA SNOWMOBILE CELEBRATION By: Dave Newman

D

onahue Super Sports, Wisconsin Rapids, a longtime Yamaha snowmobile dealer, held a celebration of Yamaha’s 57 years of snowmobile history on October 12. The event which was held at their dealership, included food and music under a large tent.

Donahue customers and collectors from all over the Midwest displayed over 200 Yamaha snowmobiles, many in excellent collector condition. Some of the sleds on display were rare one-ofa-kind models, including numerous restored race machines owned/ raced by champions like Tim Bender, Mike Trap, Dick Trickle, Bobby Donahue, Eddie Schubtzke, Leon Koch and many more.

Yamaha representatives were on hand to talk about some of Yamaha’s history and give away some swag to the hundreds of guests. The final Yamaha snowmobile manufactured, a 2025 Sidewinder SRX LE EPS was displayed at the event. This unique collector sled with serial number 998 is in a display box and will be auctioned off in February through bringatrailer.com with the proceeds going back to grass roots snowmobiling.

The highlight of the day was a chance to meet and talk to three champions of the Eagle River World Championship races. Mike Trapp, 1971 & 1972; Tim Bender, 1989 – 1994 and Bobby Donahue, 1985. Bobby did a great job of introducing the three of them and had each of them talk about how they got their start in racing along with some of the exciting highlights of their racing careers.

What a great way to celebrate the years of innovations and memories from 57 years of Yamaha snowmobiles.

So much history in one place! Thank you to Bobby and the Donahue family for putting this event together!

Good signage at a T intersection

SIGNS, SIGNS, EVERYWHERE A SIGN…UNLESS THERE ISN’T By: Paul Bradley

S

igns are everywhere, telling us where to go and what to do.

They also help us navigate as snowmobilers to find the nearest fuel, food, and the next town we will head to.

These are great things unless signs are not where we need them when we need them.

When posting signs for marking trails, it is important to view this from an outsider, who does not know the area. I have traveled from Platteville to Hurley, to the tip of Door County, and all other areas in WI and MI. Years ago before the onset of apps that are on phones, you relied primarily on paper maps and signs at intersections. The new apps are great, but some areas do not have service, or when clubs move trail systems and apps are not up to date, it can be confusing.

Many times I have come across a T intersection, and it gives me no other information, than that I have an option to turn left or right.

We need to keep in mind that we have all kinds of people using these trails, from youth just getting their first time to venture a little further from home to the experienced rider who has tens of thousands of miles on sleds such as myself.

20 WSN - www.awsc.org

Bad signage at a T intersection

When marking trails, look at intersections as if you have no clue about the area you are in. Find ways to mark for fuel, local restaurants, and establishments that will offer to warm up on a cold day. Mark roadways with the name of the road.

In the instance of an accident, it will be much easier for medical help if you can remember the intersection you just came through, or it will assist those who are a little lost.

THE ALL-NEW

ENGINE

Make sure those Stop signs are very visible, not faded.

Ensure there are stop-ahead signs as well.

Clubs that have shadow boxes with maps in are certainly a huge value. Just look at the number of footprints and snowmobile tracks that go up to these. It also adds value when you can see where you are on such a map with a dot or an arrow.

When we ride our own trails, we become so used to knowing where we are going, and how we get there, that it becomes second nature, and we do not need signage to get around. Let’s think about those from outside our area, who have come to enjoy some of the same sceneries that we enjoy. List points of interest.

Describe the large bridges that you cross. Support the local eateries and establishments that support clubs throughout the year.

A WEEKEND AT WIDE OPEN WISCONSIN

By Mike Holden AWSC Exec. Director, Sheb. Cty Director

T

he AWSC was well represented at WOW (Wide Open Wisconsin), held at the Washington County Fairgrounds on September 20-22. There was something for everyone at this event. WOW hosted a huge swap meet, which sadly was rained out on Sunday. There were snowmobile blacktop drag races plus a water cross demonstration on a small pond on the fairgrounds. If you are a vintage snowmobile enthusiast, there was a large display of old snowmobiles. The event also featured many vendors selling all sorts of gear and accessories. If you have not attended this event, it is really worth attending! There was no parking charge and a very minimal entrance charge. It was a pleasure talking with everyone who stopped at the AWSC booth. It was interesting and informative listening and talking about people’s compliments, thoughts, and concerns about snowmobiling in Wisconsin.

A special thanks to those members who helped at the AWSC booth: Kate Fuchs, Dan Reinhardt, AWSC Treasurer Steve Clark, Dean Wandel, Mary Holden, Karl Allen, KAOS member Aubrey Allen, and Mike Holden.

CLUB NEWS EAGLE RIVER SNO-EAGLES SUPPORT WEEKEND BACKPACK PROGRAM

By Cindy Fruhwirth, Sno-Eagles Secretary

F

or several years, the Sno-Eagles have conducted a 50/50 raffle at their membership meetings with the proceeds being donated to the Weekend Backpack Program. This program administered by Prince of Peace Lutheran Church provides weekend meals to children from 4K to 6th grade whom local schools have identified as needing assistance. What began as help for one child that teachers noticed showing up hungry on Monday mornings in 2015 now provides support to anywhere from 112 to 135 children.

For their first meeting of the season, over two dozen members met at Prince of Peace Church and filled approximately 200 bags to be distributed over the next two weeks. The bags are delivered confidentially by the schools to each student’s locker. Members enjoyed learning about the program they have been supporting and participating in the fulfillment process. The Sno-Eagles provided a meal at the church and Sandy Bishop, Prince of Peace Backpack Coordinator, presented the history of the program during the meeting which was live streamed on Facebook.

Last spring the SnoEagles donated $1,200 to the program which serves Eagle River, Land O’ Lakes, and Phelps Elementary Schools. Last year they spent over $30,000 to purchase food. Volunteerism and community partnerships help programs like this thrive in the Northwoods. Go to princeofpeace-er. org/backpackprogram/ to learn more about this program and how you can help.

CLUB FLASHBACK

INTERWALD WANDERERS CELEBRATE 50 YEARS!

O

n Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024, the Interwald Wanderers Snowmobile Club had the pleasure of hosting our 50th Anniversary Celebration! We had a great time celebrating with club members and landowners. Thank you to Brianna Crotteau, AWSC Miss Snowflake, for attending our celebration and helping with our door prizes!

Interwald Wisconsin is a small town near Rib Lake Wisconsin in Taylor County. The beginnings of the snowmobile club go back in 1974 when only a handful of members started it and often they met at a member’s home. Through many years of work in the community and on the trails, the club has grown to 76 members!

The Interwald Wanderers Club members are responsible for maintaining 34 miles of trails and 100 percent of the trails are on landowners property. If not for the 90 landowners and their support of the club, as well as the snowmobiling community, we would not have some of the best trails in Wisconsin.

The Interwald Wanderers would like to Land say aO’big thanks to all the Lakes Recreation club members, landowners, and club sponsors the past Landthroughout O’ Lakes 50 years for making our snowmobile trails safe and fun for all to 715-547-3530 enjoy. Cheers to 50 years! lolrec.com

DID YOU KNOW ?

SMOOTHER RIDES: ARCTIC CAT’S SUSPENSION INNOVATION By: AWSC Vintage & History Committee

I

n 1966, Arctic Cat made a groundbreaking advancement in snowmobile technology with the introduction of the torsion spring slide rail suspension, designed by the legendary Roger Skime. This innovative suspension system marked a significant departure from the traditional bogie wheel setups used by most snowmobiles at that time. Instead of running with bogie wheel suspension systems, the torsion spring system utilized a pair of slide rails that ran directly on the cleats of the track. These rails positioned themselves between the rubber belts of the track, providing a more stable and effective suspension.

1966 Panther

One of the key advantages of the slide rail suspension was its ability to keep the track flat beneath the snowmobile, preventing it from conforming to the uneven contours of the bogie wheels. This unique design not only increased the speed of the snowmobile but also enabled it to “bridge” over bumps and obstacles, resulting in a significantly smoother ride for the operator. Additionally, the slide rail suspension allowed for the use of shock absorbers and various types of springs, many of which were adjustable, further enhancing the overall performance and ride quality. The introduction of this suspension system set a new standard in the snowmobiling industry, paving the way for future innovations in snowmobile design and engineering.

Roger Skime, one of the most legendary inventors, innovators and competitors in the snowmobile market.
