Waukesha County Snowmobiling Association: About Us

To secure snowmobile trails and develop such trails across public, leased, and privately owned lands, the Waukesha County Snowmobile Association (WCSA) shall promote snowmobiling as the great family sport it is. This will be achieved through a speakers bureau, a snowmobiling safety program, effective self-policing, and informational meetings with non-snowmobilers. The association will also develop a program that fosters respect and understanding among snowmobilers regarding the rights and concerns of private landowners and the public in general. All members of the WCSA must have reciprocal trail agreements with one another, regardless of location or connection.

The Waukesha County Snowmobile Association (WCSA) is a collective of 17 dedicated snowmobile clubs focused on promoting the needs of snowmobiling in Waukesha County. By joining forces, these clubs amplify their influence with city, county, and state governments on issues related to our sport. The association is responsible for maintaining nearly 100 miles of snowmobile trails that are publicly funded in Waukesha County. These trails are financed through the snowmobilers' share of gas tax revenue. To ensure snowmobiling safety and quality, the WCSA leases grooming equipment and services, allowing them to cover the costs associated with grooming the funded trails, while individual clubs take care of maintaining these trails each season.

The Waukesha County Snowmobile Association (WCSA) and its member clubs promote snowmobiling safety by encouraging safe operation of snowmobiles at all times. Each season, member clubs offer snowmobile safety classes for individuals aged 12 and older, both before and during the snowmobiling season. For specific dates and additional information, please visit our Snowmobile Safety page. Furthermore, the WCSA and member clubs collaborate with the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department to provide search and rescue teams for winter emergencies. The association also implements a snowmobile intersection numbering system, which helps Waukesha County emergency response teams quickly locate and address trail emergencies.

All clubs in the Waukesha County Snowmobile Association (WCSA) and their members also become part of the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC), a statewide organization comprising over 600 snowmobile clubs and 41,000 members across Wisconsin. The AWSC plays a crucial role in maintaining 25,000 miles of funded snowmobile trails throughout the state, ensuring that snowmobiling safety remains a top priority. This organization gives snowmobilers a voice in Madison to advocate for legislation and issues related to our sport. Without your membership in such organizations, the sport of snowmobiling in Wisconsin would not thrive.
