same here. if I want to go to winter game, I will have to get one.
another way to get more money out of us. so where does this money go to?
I have never registered a sled here.:face-icon-small-win
I got them when I bought my new Pro this year. I do not plan on putting them on. Not sure of the resale down the road.
You have to pay your $17. regestration fee like normal. But this year, for snowmobiles they also added a $17. Trail Pass that we have to have. That is BULL ****!!!!
My county recorder hates this idea. thought it was absolute bull ****.
You dont have to buy the trail pass, but if you want to ride on the trail system, or anything else public you have to have it.
My question was, well where is our regestration money going to? Cant ride the sleds in the ATV parks, so always thought they split the money, but guess not...
Trail pass money is suppose to go into the snowmobile fund to help pay for groomers and etc, which i am fine with, but then whey do we have to pay a yearly regestraion fee, if they want to pull this, i think they need to go to a 2 or 4 year regestraion fee on the sleds and a yearly trail pass.
Hell if we dont get any snow in iowa this year, i paid $40.00 to look at it,

Only sticker that will be on my sled will be my WY. one. Bought the sled to ride west and if we get any snow and I mean a BIG if here in Iowa, I will just ride it and not worry about it.
Hopefully my sled is out west every year and then I won't have to worry about it.
I was pissed just like you. I decided not to pay for either decal. I don't even understand what the point in registering it is if you don't get the trail pass. Why would I register a sled to ride on my property. I usually do register to be legal if I should ride here, but that is complete BS to require another decal. I don't have to have it registered here in Iowa to register it in Wyoming or Colorado.
Sounds like a screwed up system to me. However if you riders from Iowa are planning on riding in SD you still will need to register your sled in Iowa. SD still honors other states registrations. That does not include trail passes (non resident permits) from other states only actual resident registrations. The only other option SD has is the 5 day temporary permit for $40. SD has discussed a non resident user permit but we have not gotten to that point yet.

i never buy one even at winter games i just shoot the bridge if i want to get from east lake to west lake . but they caught me when i sunk the year before last

You spend thousands of dollars to ride a week or two out West yet you're to tight to spend $40 to promote your sport in Iowa? Not everyone has access to private land and we have a whole new generation of riders coming up that need our trail system.

I didn't ride in Iowa last year. And the state doubling fees, to me, just seems greedy. So, yes, I'm too tight to spend $40. Maybe if there are others like me that think that is ridiculous and choose to not pay the state will rethink there fees.:yo:

How are they doubling you fees? You're suppose to register your sled every year anyway, just like your car, boat or motorcycle. If you're not riding in the state, don't buy the trail permit. If you feel lucky ride without. Not me, I've seen the fine schedule.
Snowmobile Trail Pass Legislation
Signed by Governor Branstad
The ISSA-supported $15 snowmobile trail pass bill has been signed into law
by Iowa Governor Terry Branstad after passing both the House and Senate the
second week in April.
ISSA Lobbyist Mike Heller noted that this bill is one of the very few fee
increase bills to pass this year in the Iowa Legislature, "or in several years for
that matter," he said.
"It has been a long haul, and it is important to thank legislators who helped
on this important bill. We also need to let the governor's office know the
importance of the bill," Heller said.
The $15 trail pass is on top of the $15 annual snowmobile registration fee in
Iowa. The added revenue would be a boon to the IDNR's ongoing initiative of
updating the aging groomer fleet in Iowa, especially with the cloudy future of
federal grant money.
"This bill is in lieu of the $15 registration fee increase," ISSA President Gary
Burger explained. "Those with registered sleds in Iowa who ride only in other
states or on their own property would not need to purchase the trail pass."

IF YOU RIDE SLEDS SUPPORT THE SPORT IN EVERY STATE YOU RIDE IN!
That is the only way this sport stays funded. If you ride in Iowa you need to support your local snowmobile club. That is the lifeline between you, your trails and the ISSA. Believe me, there isn't a club in Iowa who wouldn't gladly take more members and more help.

Look on the ISSA website and see the healthy fines for riding without registration and trail passes.
