In order to travel on Snoman’s groomed snowmobile trails, snowmobilers require a valid Snopass. Snowmobilers who do not have a Snopass while riding on a Snoman trail will receive a $278 ticket. Enforcement will be carried out by Natural Resource Officers and the RCMP.

The pass, which costs $105 up to and including December 15, includes a sticker which must be visible on the license plate of the snowmobile. Revenues raised from the sale of Snopasses go directly to Snoman and are used to groom trails and enhance recreational snowmobiling in Manitoba.

Prior to November 1, snowmobile owners would have had to make two separate business transactions: one with their Autopac broker, with a second visit to a Snopass vendor.

As of November 2010, there will be a complete electronic integration of the Snopass with MPI's registration system. At that time snowmobilers will be offered the full complement of time payment options offered by Manitoba Public Insurance.

Snoman (Snowmobilers of Manitoba) is a non-profit organization representing 51 provincial snowmobiling clubs that maintain and groom more than 12,000 km of Manitoba's trails. Provincial clubs are financially supported through the sale of Snopasses.
