1981-2012... 31 Years serving snowmobilers.
The Klondike Snowmobile Association is a volunteer, non-profit organization
formed in 1981 and incorporated in 1984 to represent snowmobilers in
the Yukon Territory. Our mission is to "protect, develop and enhance
the sport and recreation of snowmobiling in the Yukon." We do this by representing Yukon snowmobilers at local, national and international meetings; as well as being a major participant in the building, maintaining, grooming and signage of both snowmobile and multi-use trails in the Yukon. We are also the official Trans Canada Trail people in the Yukon Territory.
The vast majority of our work is done by our volunteers. The supplies and equipment are paid for via membership fees, donations, and grants. For more information on volunteering and/or becoming a member, see our Become A Member page today! While you're there check out the list of Membership Benefits we offer - the discounts you get will more than cover the cost of your membership!
We are a
member of the following organizations:
- Trans Canada Trail Foundation
- International Snowmobile Council
- Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations
- Sport Yukon
- Tourism Industry Association of the Yukon
- International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association
- Safe Riders
Program
If you're planning a visit from outside the territory, be sure to let
people know you're coming. Many good rentals and guides are
available who can tailor something just for you. Although we do
not run tours ourselves, we can put you in touch with those that do.
Please report Trail Conditions to klonsnow@yknet.ca or (867) 667-7680
Help us keep our trail conditions page up to date and let our groomers know where their assistance is needed.
Support those that support us!
We encourage everyone to check out our corporate sponsors. They have been very generous to us over the years, and after all they are the reason we are able to offer such an extensive list of membership benefits!

Safe Snowmobiling!
- Join your local club... They work
for you.
- Leave Tracks, Not Trash... If you had space to bring it in, you have room to respect nature and carry
it out.
- Maintain Your Sled... A well-tuned
snowmobile is more environmentally-friendly and will be more reliable.
- Protect Wildlife... Animals are more
vulnerable in winter, so keep your distance and leave them alone.
- Leave it stock... Refrain from using
after market pipes that increase noise, scare the animals and annoy other people.
- Stay on the Trail... Whenever possible,
reduce your environmental impact by riding on organized trails.
- Respect Sensitive Areas... There are
lots of other places to ride, so avoid areas marked as environmentally
sensitive or protected.
- Embrace New Technologies... Mother
nature appreciates snowmobiles that run even more efficiently and
effectively.
- Spread the Word... Snowmobiles have
improved continuously thanks to oil injection, sound reduction,
variable height exhaust valves, direct injection, on-board computers
and 4-stroke engines.
- Groomers always have the right-of-way... The
groomers sometimes need the full width of the trail. Expect the unexpected.
