WELCOME!!
The Colorado Snowmobile Association was founded in 1970 as an opportunity to unite winter motorized recreationists across the state to enjoy their passion. It has continued the tradition of family and fun for the last almost 40 years. The association has also become the voice of organized snowmobiling to advance, promote and preserve the sport of snowmobiling through work with Federal and state land management agencies and local, state and federal legislators telling the truth about our sport.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A VOICE
In order to continue the work CSA is doing on behalf of the sport of snowmobiling in Colorado we do need funding. Membership dues cover the expenses of running the association and not much else. Travel to and from meetings, hiring consultants to help address land use issues, publishing and distributing educational publications, and sponsoring safety and avalanche classes require additional funds.
Members of CSA travel each year to Washington DC to talk to Colorado's Congressional Delegation on behalf of snowmobiling in Colorado. During the 2009 trip we spent an great deal of time educating the Congressional staffers on the detriment of the Hidden Gems Wilderness Proposal.

WORKING WITH TO PROTECT INTEGRITY OF STATE OHV AND SNOW PROGRAM FUNDING -
CSA has worked in concert with the Colorado Off Highway Vehicle Coalition (COHVCO) to protect the integrity of the State OHV and Snow Program funding. Because of the large network of recreationists that COHVCO and CSA combined have, we have been able to stay the attempts to raid the programs.
PARTNER TO MAINTAIN GROOMED TRAILS -
CSA continues to partner with Colorado State Parks to provide over 3,000 miles of groomed and maintained winter trails all across the state with your registration fees.
To continue to keep land access open, keep trails groomed, educate about Wilderness, educate about snowmobile safety and all the rest we endeavor to do, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
CSA is committed to being frugal and efficient with our funds.
