1981-2010... 29 years serving snowmobilers
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.
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 Trans Canada Trail people for the Yukon Territory. This work is done almost entirely by volunteers; and the supplies and equipment are paid for via membership fees, donations, and various grants.
We are a
member of the following organizations:
- International Snowmobile Council
- Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations
- Sport Yukon
- Tourism Industry Association of the Yukon
- Trans Canada Trail Foundation
- International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association
- Safe Riders

While you're there, be sure to fill out your 2009/2010 membership form!
Your membership goes a long way in supporting snowmobiling in the Yukon, and easily pays for itself with the discounts your card can get you. Even if you don't have the time to volunteer, funding programs are often based on number of club members, so just having your name on the list can make all the difference!

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 by carrying
it out too.
- 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 and annoy others.
- 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 now 4-stroke engines.
- Groomers always have the right-of-way... The
groomers sometimes need the full width of the trail. Expect the unexpected.
