together. Leaders in the snowmobile industry for this. First group with a youth group, congratula ons to
KAOS group and leaders. First group with a Miss Snowflake.
Chris ne explained what ACSA is ‐ voice on na onal snowmobile issues, the face of snowmobiling in Wash‐
ington, DC. They closely monitor what goes on in Washington, the na onal forest service. We do the DC Fly‐
in ‐ 20th annual coming up in April.
Promote posi ve side of snowmobiling, especially through social media
Wisconsin has a lot of miles of trail, 18,000 miles, thanks to clubs working with landowners. Number one
complaint is trespassing. We try to address that, crea ng loss of trails across the country. Most of those
people do not belong to clubs or state associa ons, trying to reach out and find them. Displaying memes at
hotels, other businesses, to get the message across to stay on the trail. Ads are put together to include in
the programs at Amsoil sno‐crosses to remind people to ride correctly and support organized snowmobil‐
ing.
ACSA has a weekly e‐news, go to snowmobilers.org and join the mailing list. Contains a lot of good infor‐
ma on, pertains to snowmobiling across the country.
Coopera ve agreement with Na onal Highway Administra on ‐ funded by gas taxes, RTP which includes
several projects including radio PSA, blogs, google ads Facts & Myths Revision.
9Annual Mee ng Minutes from March 23, 2019 ‐ cont’d
ACSA has done a targeted ad on Facebook on impaired riding, speed.
Www.Snowmobileinfo.org has a lot of tools and studies for your use. Posters, other informa on available,
all free for your use.
Online safety course, scien fic studies, posters, grooming guide, public and private land access guides are
available at that website.
Fundraisers for ACSA ‐ Cash calendar, membership, legal fund, PAC. State associa on gets $5 per calendar
sold.
We are environmentalists. People forget that, keep reminding them.
ACSA reminds decision makers in Washington about us.
Officer Reports
President Dave Newman: Ssome of the snowmobile trails are be er than the roads.
AWSC Director voted in January to implement a $2 dues increase, will take effect July 1, 2019. Was dis‐
cussed for the past year. We need to have a financial reserve in case any legal challenge arises. There are
s ll people that think the AWSC keeps the $10 for the trail pass ‐ that goes directly to the DNR. It takes over
a half a million dollars to run this organiza on. The AWSC has never told any club what they should charge
for dues. Directors will vote on the AWSC budget tomorrow.
In January, Wisconsin State Journal had an ar cle about skiers being concerned about safety with snowmo‐
bilers on the trail. We felt it necessary to hire a pr firm representa ve to help us get out side of the story
out. She is helping with the BlueMounds issue, also. We have used her in the past. She set us up with the
reporter that wrote that ar cle, which contained many untruths. We have not seen any nega ve ar cles
since; she has been very good se ng us up with media contacts.
Vice President Lori Heideman: Hope everyone is reminiscing about the last 50 years, seen the vintage dis‐
play.
Snowmobile Friendly Communi es awards will be handed out later this morning. Thanks to Don Hamilton,
associa on coordinator, and the commi ee; thanks to the coun es/municipali es that applied. This is the
first year of the program, hope there will be more applica ons next year.
Of the Year Awards ‐ deadline is coming up, applica ons are online. Anyone can make a nomina on.
606 clubs in Wisconsin, should be 606 nomina ons for Club of the Year. So many volunteers, club mem‐
bers, groomer operators that volunteered for hours. Don’t forget about our youth. There are so many great
youth members.
KAOS has elected their own execu ve board, we look forward to working with them.
10Annual Mee ng Minutes from March 23, 2019‐ cont’d
Thanks to all that help with the leadership weekend.
This a ernoon, be sure you thank these youth for helping with the games, and all they do.
It is your responsibility to take back to your clubs what you learn here this weekend. Communica on to
your members, get excited, educate them about what we’re doing here. Talk about the last 50 years.
Treasurer ‐ Andy Malecki: Andy announces that there are 3 raffle ckets le . Andy thanks all for suppor ng
him being re‐elected as treasurer. Thanks Lori Pohl for her help and guidance over the years.
Execu ve Board and Stormy have worked on the budget over the past months.
There are some ACSA calendars le for purchase
Secretary ‐ Sue Smedegard: Thank you for support in re‐elec on. Thanks to Directors and Representa ves
that a end 4 AWSC mee ngs per year, a end county and local club mee ngs to bring informa on back.
Thanks to the landowners and volunteers that maintain trails, a end mee ngs, step up to be officers, trail
bosses, safety instructors. You make snowmobiling in Wisconsin possible for all to enjoy
Let the world know what we have, experiences, what uniqueness do you have? Tourists come to be cele‐
brated, see the best of what we’ve got, build up the celebra on of snowmobiling. Does your social media or
website tell visitors they’ll be happy to be here? Is it inclusive and celebratory, or does it just say “it’s cold?”
Execu ve Director ‐ Sam Landes: Myron Hedrick, first AWSC President, would be proud to see a group this
size, and over 600 clubs on our 50th anniversary.
50 years ‐ segregated trail fund, 100% goes into the fund, 88% goes to fund the trails, 12% goes to the DNR.
When it was set up, the DNR got even more than 12%. Other states have it all go into their fund, but get a
much smaller por on back. They would love to have what we have. Morris Nelson had “good guy” s ckers
made up for legisla ve mee ngs ‐ if they were pro‐snowmobiling, they got a s cker.
We got funding increased over the years, por on of Indian gaming funds, trail pass program, $10 million
back into program over past 4 years. We’ve answered 2 of our biggest ques ons ‐ what do we do about our
image, what do we do about accidents/fatali es. We s ll have too many fatali es, s ll have work to do
there.
What about the non‐club member? We got more out of the non‐members now than we did 5 years ago.
At one me we were broke. Snowmobile registra ons were down, then we got snow in southern Wisconsin.
Snowmobiling is alive and well today. We have to defend ourselves against the an ’s ‐ need to defend our
trails on public and private proper es.
Blue Mound State Park ‐ 17 years had a club‐supported trail through the trail. We’re on the third me of
opening the master plan to get the trail system on park property and off the side of the road. Paula Gilbeck
had 3 press releases out for the March 12 mee ng, over 250 snowmobilers signed in. We got posi ve press.
11Annual Mee ng Minutes from March 23, 2019‐ cont’d
Snowmobiling and the trail are back into the amendment ‐ we an cipate a plan coming out this summer.
The next comment period will ensure that it passes, you will get informa on on that.
Stower Seven Lakes ‐ was a mul ple use trail that we were supposed to be part of. Friends group found a
loophole, technically the department didn’t have the right to call all the uses, got language changed in
2013, maintenance of that trail are turned over to the county, county and DNR are working on MOU at
this me. Polk County snowmobilers have done a good job s cking together. 250 gathered for a photo at
the head of the trail, great photo, you can see it on Facebook.
Langlade County and Oconto Coun es put over 250 people in a township room to accept or deny grant
for bridge‐ they walked out of the mee ng with unanimous vote to accept grant.
Moving forward, the message to members is par cipate, respond.
Because of trail pass, extra funding allows the rec council to begin funding new miles of trail. 40 foot rule
needs to be looked at, detrimental to new miles. No states around us have that rule. AWSC went on rec‐
ord in support AB7 ‐ changes absolute sobriety to age 21, in line with everyone else.
In the Governor’s budget funding for snowmobile law enforcement comes from GPR dollars instead of
Indian gaming revenue and we are not sure we’re comfortable with that.
Thanks all here without you, there’d be no trail system. Thanks the directors, reps, past presidents, with‐
out you, there’d be no associa on. We ride.
Dave ‐ deadline is March 26 to make comments on Blue Mounds ‐ no ce and links are in the booklet,
and paper form is available to fill out and mail on Monday.
Miss Snowflake ‐ Kendra Randrup: First me in Green Bay, thankful to be suppor ng the AWSC, thanks
to her sponsors.
A ended the KAOS ride, and several other rides and events, MS Snow Tour, World Championship races,
Vintage Ride for Charity, radar runs.

Cathy Burrow ‐ Snowmobile /ATV Grant Manager: Sue Smedegard has copies of the power point, will be
going out to the directors and reps a er the weekend.
12Annual Mee ng Minutes from March 23, 2019‐ cont’d
State of the grant ‐ income has nearly doubled since the trail pass ‐ will have a lot of income this year be‐
cause of the snow. Most goes to trail maintenance, right back to the clubs, supplemental maintenance,
development grants, state trails, law enforcement and safety, administra on.
Trail grants ‐ most goes to maintenance, supplemental, then smaller categories are bridge rehab, trail
rehab & reloca on, new category is new bridges, and storm damage. Next year will add new miles to the
categories.
Current registra on numbers down slightly from last year. Trail pass numbers are in your booklet. Total
trail passes this year 157,084.
Governors council ‐ council recommended increasing $250 to $300, Joint Finance report is available on
the snowmobile council webpage. Ad hoc commi ees formed ‐ one is audit, coun es that go into sup‐
plemental are audited. Will be a commi ee looking at bridges.
FEMA concerns
GPS in groomers, council does not want to move too fast, looking at whether this is an allowable ex‐
pense (the equipment)
Trail signing handbook should be done sooner rather than later.
State contracts ‐ Sam will discuss at directors mee ng ‐ Sue has handouts for this for the directors
mee ng tomorrow, clubs that contract directly with the DNR, all done in SNARS now, but club s ll needs
to invoice that property for the money. Bureau of Finance will not pay without invoice. Handout lists
every DNR state trail where there is no MOU with the county, says what has to be on the invoice.
Snowmobile Council webpage ‐ has everything the council does, look at agendas, mee ngs.
New Trail ranking ‐ Sue has sheets for directors and reps for tomorrow’s mee ng. Will also be sent out to
directors and reps via email.
Fuzzy Moran brought up off‐trail riding, losing trails ‐ can something be included with the trail passes
saying off‐trail riding is trespassing, illegal.
Ranking sheet includes permanent easement points, another is ten‐year and five‐year easement. Proper‐
ty changes hands frequently in some parts of the state.
Another associa on ques ons that every club has to have insurance on the trails, why can’t that be
claimed as a maintenance expense? It’s an eligible expense for the county, but not the clubs. Insurance
covers events, etc., also ‐ asks if at least a percentage could be claimed.
Dave men ons that the council is a 15 member ci zen board; many are in this room, stood for recogni‐
on.
13Annual Mee ng Minutes from March 23, 2019‐ cont’d
April Dombrowski ‐ Natural Resources Program Manager: Sec on Chief, 35‐40 full me and limited me
employees, creden aled staff, law enforcement and non‐creden aled staff.
Congratula ons on 50 years of being an organiza on, a lot of history that goes with this, you should be
proud of the history and being part of the tradi on. Con nue to tell your story, and how you want the
next chapter wri en.
Program updates ‐ rebuilding sec on, transi on with recrea on wardens ‐ 10 around the state focused
on enforcement, accident inves ga on and training. Focus on importance of volunteer instructors. Out‐
door skills trainers are fully dedicated to volunteer instructors. Now rebuilding administra ve part of sec‐
on. Have some vacancies, announcement is currently out.
Overall DNR alignment, looking at where they move forward, efforts provided in parks system in sum‐
mer. Took them away from trails and lakes, re‐evalua ng to see what direc on that’s going. Bureau of
Law Enforcement going through strategic planning at this me, also. One of the goals is recrea on ‐ en‐
hancing safety, experiences.
Annual report for snowmobile and atv program ‐ changing direc on of annual report, transi on to calen‐
dar year rather than season rela ng to sta s cs. What story do we want to tell moving forward? Work in
progress.
Trail signing handbook ‐ brought in snowmobilers, ATV’ers, off road motorcycles, highway department.
Working on ge ng it finished off and produced. A number of revisions have been made, now sent to le‐
gal staff for review. Then goes to graphic ar st. Hope to have it on the web for viewing on May 1.
Prin ng hard copies will be evaluated, cost, budget is issue, will there be any law changes that would im‐
pact the booklet? It’s a handbook, set of guidelines, not the “bible.” Can’t address every scenario in the
state.
Law enforcement efforts ‐ rebuilding that area, hopes to get those posi ons filled. 199 wardens on pay‐
roll, some re rements to work through currently. Snowmobile program has the equivalency of about 9
posi ons. Fiscally responsible with this, challenge this year, snow across the state.
Snowmobile sta s cs from the season, some trails are s ll open, calendar year 2018 ended with 19 fatal‐
i es, this calendar year we have 15, seasonal standpoints has us at 19 for this season. We work on this
through safety courses, marke ng safety. When you look at the 10 year trend, fatal trend con nues to
fall compared to number of registered sleds.
Volunteer instructors for safety programs ‐ volunteer instructors awards for years of service looked at,
snowmobile program has a long list of years of service, from 2 years to 45 years of service, no other pro‐
gram has that many years ‐ there is no award for 45, will be looking into that. Those that have 30 years
and beyond were recognized.
Drew Nussbaum, Regional Tourism Specialist: Outstanding to see a year like this come to reality, snow
around the state. Kept marke ng as aggressive as they could.
14Annual Mee ng Minutes from March 23, 2019‐ cont’d
Gave away a snowmobile last year to create a database from riders from Wisconsin and surrounding
states. All 72 coun es were open at some point this year ‐ he was able to talk about that in surrounding
states.
Secretary Sarah Meany a ended the AWSC Celebrate Wisconsin Snowmobiling event. She is well aware
of how important snowmobiling is to tourism in Wisconsin. It was her first me on a sled, and she got to
drive a groomer.
Keep pushing our message out to our legislators, lawmakers.
Marke ng has been increased this year; snowmobile pieces have had thousands of hits on social media.
Safety messages that were requested from DNR is an issue for all of us. Tourism, clubs, everyone needs
to be involved. He has always encouraged clubs to post videos. We need to do a be er job promo ng
and educa ng. Social media rules us. 80% of travelers to Wisconsin engage on social media. Be careful
what you post, advocate a message of responsibility and safety. We need to focus on the centennials, 23
and younger. We haven’t addressed their technological advances. Michigan does a really good job with
videos. Hard to explain to some town/city/county boards why we are important.
Promo ng outdoor recrea on is vital to the visit and work aspect in Wisconsin. We don’t brag enough –
50 years of this associa on. 40,000 club members make this the coolest sport there is, no tax dollars, us‐
er funded. Con nue to advocate for how important this is.
Proclama on of 50 years of AWSC received from Governor Evers, presented to AWSC President Dave
Newman by Drew Nussbaum.

16AWSC Execu ve Officer Candidate Profiles
PRESIDENT— Dave Newman, Incumbent
I am announcing that I will again be a candidate for president of the AWSC. I have
proudly served as president for the past seven years which was preceded with four
years as vice president and the Clark County Director prior to that. On top of my du‐
es as president, I am s ll very ac ve in my club and on the county level.
I have always encouraged our vice president, Lori Heideman, to take the next step
and run for president whenever she felt ready. Because of her commitment to her
job, Lori has not felt she has had the me to dedicate to a president’s posi on un l
re rement, and it looks like that day is in sight. So, it is my inten on to run one more
me this year and happily endorse her for president in 2023.
Un l then, I will con nue to represent the AWSC in a posi ve way on both the state and na onal level. I feel
I have proven myself to be the professional and ethical leader the AWSC needed. Thank you for your past
support and I hope I can count on your vote once again this year.
VICE PRESIDENT ‐ Lori Heideman, Incumbent
I am the current Vice President of the AWSC. I have decided to run for another term
of Vice President. The past eight years have taught me a lot. When I started out in
this posi on I talked about how overwhelming it was. There was so much to learn. I
feel that I have come a long way since that first year. The execu ve boards I have
worked with have not only taught me many things, they have introduced me to the
AWSC's key stakeholders.
Along with my vice president du es, I also sit on several commi ees. I am s ll a very
ac ve member of the youth commi ee. This has been a commi ee that I have been
on since the incep on of our KAOS program. I have traveled to many Interna onal
snowmobile Congresses to support our youth when they gave presenta ons. I con nue to be a great sup‐
porter of KAOS.
I also co‐chair the Snowmobile Friendly Communi es commi ee. This program was established four years
ago to bring recogni on to our volunteers and celebrate communi es. It is becoming a very successful pro‐
gram.
I have represented the Associa on at the DC fly in as well as the Interna onal Snowmobile Congress the past
eight years. I feel that I am making connec ons at the na onal level as well as with many of our state direc‐
tors. The more familiar I become with the issues that face the AWSC, the be er I can represent the snowmo‐
bilers. I appreciate all the support I have received these past eight years and ask that you support me once
again as the Vice President of the Associa on. Thank you for your support.
17Execu ve Board Candidate Profiles ‐ Con nued
TREASURER – Lauren Levey, Incumbent
Hello Wisconsin snowmobile club members! I cannot believe it's almost been a full
year since being elected Treasurer of the AWSC. I have learned so much over the last
year and s ll have a lot to learn regarding Treasurer du es and how the AWSC oper‐
ates. I've received a ton of very posi ve feedback from many of you regarding the
younger genera on stepping up to be involved on the Execu ve Board and I appreci‐
ate your support over the last year and hopefully moving forward into the next elec‐
on season.
I am a proud member of the Cambria Moonlighters snowmobile club in Columbia
County, a member of the KAOS commi ee, a newly re‐cer fied snowmobile & ATV
safety instructor, and a sponsored trail rider for DSG Outerwear. Outside of snowmo‐
biling, I enjoy hun ng, fishing, and taking out the UTV with my husband, Trevor, and introducing all of our
hobbies to our 5‐month old, TJ.
One of the most damaging phrases to any organiza on is "that's the way we've always done it" and I would
encourage everyone to remove that from their vocabulary. People (and organiza ons) can't grow without
stepping out of their comfort zone. I'm very proud to represent the younger genera ons on the execu ve
board and I hope you re‐elect me as Treasurer of the AWSC to be the person to help our organiza on step
outside of our comfort zone!
SECRETARY—Sue Smedegard, Incumbent
I have served as the AWSC Secretary since March, 2011. I currently serve on the
Governor’s Snowmobile Recrea on Council, Office of Outdoor Recrea on Commi ee,
serve as the liaison between the execu ve board and the Wisconsin Department of
Tourism, as well as the Wisconsin ATV Associa on. I was proud to receive the AWSC
President’s Cup in 2018. I am an officer of my club and county associa on. I serve as
the Burne County representa ve to NoRTAC as secretary (Northern Regional Trail
Advisory Commi ee), and am Ac ng Chair of the Gandy Dancer Trail Commission.
It has been a priority for me to get the minutes and other informa on out to directors,
representa ves and members as quickly as possible, to communicate with Directors,
Reps, and members about what’s going on within and involving the Associa on of
Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs. I look forward to con nuing to work with our very dedicated execu ve board
as we work through the coming year.
I hope I can count on your support and vote for Secretary of the Associa on of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs
for the 2022 – 2023 season. I look forward to working with all of you!
18Snowmobile Friendly Community Awards
Snowmobile Friendly Community Awards will be presented at the Annual
Mee ng Saturday Morning
Early in 2017, the AWSC Execu ve Board created an ad hoc Commi ee to explore the feasibility of crea ng a
Statewide Recogni on Program the AWSC could use to recognize and reward the volunteer efforts of its 600+
Clubs and the Communi es they reside in. Although small, the new “Snowmobile Friendly Community Com‐
mi ee” went to work. Ini ally comprised of three Execu ve Board Members, one Club Member, and one
Staff Member, the Commi ee researched and reviewed a wide variety of ways to build a recogni on pro‐
gram to meet the goals laid out by the Execu ve Board.
By 2018, the SFC Commi ee 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 components of the AWSC’s Snowmobile Friendly Community Program:
1. Create a Recogni on Award: to recognize/thank the dozens of volunteers in the Club and Community
who work relessly to support, preserve, and protect snowmobiling. In short, no ma er how large or
small the community, award them with a sign/symbol celebra ng the collec ve efforts of their local
Trails.
2. Create a Tool to advocate for snowmobiling: The Community, Club, or County can use the SFC Award to:
Account for and increase visibility of their Volunteers, (celebrate and mo vate)
Improve rela onships with their Community by/thru:
Engaging with key stakeholders (educate)
Partnerships, ac vi es, and events (par cipate)
3. Create a Checklist for Success: The SFC Applica on is also Standardized Checklist/Guide for Clubs,
Communi es, and County organiza ons. The Checklist can use to achieve success in four key areas:
Encouragement Educa on
Engineering Enforcement

Community of Arbor Vitae
The Cross Country Cruisers are a 100% Volunteer snowmobile club based in Arbor Vitae, WI.
The club is responsible for signing, maintaining, and grooming over 90 miles of trails in both
Vilas and Oneida Coun es including the Bearskin Trail. The club’s yearly membership sits
around 450‐500 members which includes commercial memberships. The town of Arbor Vitae,
where the clubhouse is located, has a rich logging history which has produced many excellent
trail systems for outdoor recrea on, including snowmobiling. Arbor Vitae is a small communi‐
ty where neighbors are friends, and friends are family ‐ which makes it a perfect place for the
Cross Country Cruisers to call home.
Community of Conover
Conover is located on US Hwy 45 just south of the Michigan border in the heart of the lakes
region. Nestled on the eastern side of Vilas County, Conover is a small town of 1253 friendly
residents surrounded by a unique blend of forests, lakes, rivers and natural beauty. With rich
history in the logging industry, trail development was a logical choice for such a beau ful
landscape. The Conover Sno‐Buddies Snowmobile Club was incorporated in 1972 and recently
celebrated their 50 year anniversary. The club currently manages a trail system of 70 miles
winding through scenic forest lands and rolling hills that connect to 600 miles of trails within
Vilas County. With a membership roster just over 300, the Sno‐Buddies are managed by a
board of 11 officers, 3 program coordinators, a fundraising commi ee of 10 and a grooming
squad of 7. Come and ride with us soon!
Community of Lodi
Lodi, meaning peaceful valley, is located in the heart of scenic south‐central Wisconsin, Co‐
lumbia County and is a community of about 3,100 residents. The Yellow Thunder Snowmobile
Club, 200 members strong, has been around since 1968 and is responsible for grooming and
maintaining over 70 miles of trails. Their club remains very involved in their community,
providing snowmobile safety classes, two scholarships, volunteering at various events and
even providing their city with their first snow ambulance. Yellow Thunder owns two groom‐
ers; a New Holland and a CASE IH. As with most clubs, Yellow Thunder would not have their
beau ful trail system without the generosity of their 180 landowners and volunteers.
20Snowmobile Friendly Community Awards
County of Chippewa
From countryside, to forests, through quaint downtowns, the Chippewa County snowmobile
trail system has miles of adventure and fun awai ng all. Supported by over 20 local clubs over
400 miles of trail system is well taken care of, which is shown through the consistently
updated trail markings and seamless communica on of trail condi ons. Welcoming enthusi‐
asts from around the country, our clubs, lodging partners, restaurants, taverns, and a rac on
businesses know the importance of maintaining the trail systems and crea ng a comfortable
ride to all.
County of Marine e
"It's not about the miles, it's about the smiles!” In Marine e County you'll find both! The
Marine e County Snowmobile Alliance is comprised of nine clubs that maintain over 700
miles of trails and promote the exhilara ng Northwoods pas me of snowmobiling. Clubs op‐
erate in coopera on with state, county and local governments, along with private landowners
who graciously allow snowmobile use on designated areas of their private property.
The Marine e County Snowmobile Alliance organizes and shares informa on among its clubs
and works to promote safe, well maintained trails for public use. An Alliance trail map is
printed yearly and features over 170 business sponsors. The Marine e County Snowmobile
Alliance and its clubs also work closely with county and state tourism departments to
promote its trails across Wisconsin, the Midwest and the na on. For the hard working club
volunteers who make their trail system a riding des na on, the reward is seeing the smiles of
happy riders.
