Please consider being an active member in our club. We are looking for people to help in all aspects of our club. There is always something that needs to be done to provide the quality trails everyone enjoys. Please contact Mike Weaver: [email protected]
THANK YOU!
For your information----
If you have an I phone, and are snowmobiling please find a way to keep an eye on your phone. Today alone we received multiple automated messages from Iphones reporting crashes, that didn't happen.
This feature is great in theory, but when people don't answer dispatch and dispatch can hear snowmobiles driving around, it is a drain on resources in the area if we have to send out Fire Departments, Law Enforcement, and EMS.
We have found that this feature is very sensitive while snowmobiling.
UPCOMING EVENTS -

The Ashland County snowmobile community lost one of their very best members this past March. Terry Olby’s legacy will live on for generations to come. This dedicated man could fix almost anything with a rubber band! He was known for his welding expertise which came in extremely handy for the Ashland & Bayfield County Snowmobile Alliances, where he built a drag for the county. He was always quick to adapt to situations, whether it was removing or replacing bridges, brushing, cleaning up after storms, or creating new trails; Terry was a visionary when it came to finding solutions. If his wife Beth were unable to find him around the house, all she had to do was look in the groomer barn and chances are Terry would be there. Getting the groomer ready for the yearly Christmas parade was a task Terry met with vigor, even running the possible risk that his wife, Beth, would call in the authorities for stolen reindeer yard decorations. Instead, the reindeer were found traveling down Ashland’s Main street! Both Terry and Beth volunteered hundreds of hours to the local snowmobile club, serving as president and secretary. Terry averaged 400 hours of service to the Ashland County trails yearly. Although his love for snowmobiling was strong, his love of family came first. In one of his better “rubber band” moments, he attached skis to an old recliner so Beth, who had been laid up, wouldn’t miss the fun. Terry is a very special person to many people, especially his grandchildren. His premature death is an enormous loss to anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him and to the snowmobile community.

The mission of the AWSC "United We Trail - Divided We Fail" is to provide information, direction, education, and resources to our members, and member clubs to promote, improve, and preserve safe responsible snowmobiling throughout Wisconsin, the snow belt states and the international snowmobile community. Wisconsin, well-known for its pristine snowmobile trail system, is regarded as one of the top three snowmobiling destinations nationwide. These trails are made possible though the volunteer efforts of snowmobilers who are members of an AWSC club. These club volunteers have the responsibility of securing trail easements, placing necessary signage on the trails, brush, groom and maintain trail grooming equipment.
By belonging to an AWSC snowmobile club, you are helping to keep the sport strong by having your legislative voice heard at the Capitol in Madison as well as in Washington, DC. In addition, your membership fees enable the clubs to continue to improve their trail system which benefits local economies as well as Wisconsin's tourism economy.
