There is hope for them

We have a place in Northern Wisconsin and heading up tomorrow. Have a number of trails through our land and a number of trees down on them. Will be starting on that as well as oil change on the jeep and lawnmowers.

Good for you X2 Those dam clubs the same ones that groomed the trails you posted pictures of. Dam them

Good for you

Interesting you quit the AWSC in 2013 but are calling them to ask questions 3 years ago. The counties are the ones that decide if they want to break up the counties and where the zones are broken up. The AWSC has NOTHING to do with it. I was involved with the committee to break up our country. It is all worked through inside each. county.

This increase is for what the clubs pay to the AWSC for each club member to be a member of the AWSC. Trail pass prices will not be going up. I'm sure some of this will cause some clubs to increase their membership to cover the $5.00 increase. It's been $12.00 for a while and before that it was $7.00 The AWSC is a good organization represents the sport well and a good voice in the Madison legislature for the sport. It is what it is.

Beautiful shop like that find a project. Look for that old sled you could never get to buy and restore it. Half the fun it researching and finding parts that you need.

For the past six months we have been talking about dues increase for association members. In today's economy, where everything has gone up exponentially, the executive board ask the Director's and reps to take back to the clubs the idea of a dues increase. The AWSC is not bankrupt, nor are we broke. However, we cannot continue on the path we are on. Historically we have borrowed from these reserves approximately $30,000 a year for at least the past 11 years. We have always managed to put that money back into the reserves yet have never added to them. As an organization we need to be responsible enough to make sure that we are in good financial standing before something happens. My article in the March magazine explained what revenue we can use as operational expenses. That is membership dues and our two raffles: the $100 cash raffle and our new calendar raffle. This past year 40 of the $100 raffle tickets went unsold. That is a huge amount when you are trying to stay within a budget. We also have several accounts that cannot be used for our operating budget. These accounts would consist of KAOS, Scholarship, Next Gen as well as others. The revenue for these accounts is generated from fundraising or donations; thus all monies are ear marked specifically for those purposes. The weekend of March 29 & 30, 2025 in Green Bay the Director's and Reps voted to increase AWSC dues by $5.00 or $17.00 per family. Many other figures were looked at, but the median was $5,00. As the executive board we will continue to look at ways to keep costs as low as we can. However, at this time rent, utilities, office supplies, IT and legal and lobbying have gone up as well. We are currently working on some legislation to up trail pass fees. Thank you, Lori Heideman, AWSC President

Like others have said pay attention to the frame structure of some of these trailers. Triton which is no longer in business had an XT and Elite series snowmobile trailer. The XT had less structure with the main beams only attaching to the 2 center crossmembers and axle, widers spacing between crossmembers and the bed only having 1/2 Plywood bed. The Elite which obviously cost more the main beams run the full length front to back. The crossmembers are spaced tighter together and 5/8 marine Plywood.

Very strange but If that's what MC your therapist suggest you do have at it

Dam tagged in 3 different posts Must be that time of the month

Great niece goes to the same school and says the same think. A number of teaches basically teach their own agenda and belief far from what the course studies are. Most are tenure teachers with a lifetime of protection and security in their job. If you question their opinion you will pay the price.

Gage them off the audience.

Where were the Lib protest for Biden. TDS runs deep

So your pissing in a bottle now. Differently have to rethink the 51st state's stability.

The TDS crowd should easily understand this he's speaking in "Kamala" terms
