   NONRESIDENT SNOWMOBILE RIDERS MUST PURCHASE MONTANA 

SNOWMOBILE USE PERMIT

      Nonresidents riding their snowmobiles in Montana must purchase a  

$15 snowmobile use permit per machine to support the grooming of 

Montana snowmobile trails.

      More than 80 percent of the revenue collected is used to groom 

snowmobile trails.  The balance goes to enforcement of snowmobile laws, 

county search and rescue teams, and administrative costs.

      Most snow-belt states, and nearly all Canadian provinces, charge 

similar nonresident fees.

      The nonresident snowmobile permits are available from FWP, FWP 

license providers in areas of heavy snow trail use, select snowmobile 

equipment retail businesses, hotels and motels and other businesses 

serving snowmobile riders.

For more information call 406-444-4585.

	Interesting. If it is only required of non-residents; it is clearly illegal? BEAR

	i don't have a sled, but my understanding is that residents have to register their snowmobiles.

	If it is the same (with some extra $$$ for non-residents it would be ok. But it would be like making non-residents buy a special license to drive their cars in the state. I only have a dirt bike.....and everyone hates that. BEAR
