About Us

The Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association Inc. (SSA) is a volunteer-driven non-profit organization that is the provincial voice of snowmobiling. We work with stakeholders to promote Saskatchewan as a world-class snowmobiling destination while seeking to understand and respond to the needs and expectations of snowmobilers, ensuring snowmobiling remains a vibrant recreational activity in Saskatchewan.

The government appointed the SSA as the Trail Manager for Saskatchewan’s snowmobile trail system and to administer the Trail Fund through an agreement with the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport (PCS). This allows us to allocate the snowmobile registration fees collected by SGI issuers to our 53 Trail Funded volunteer clubs, who groom, sign, and maintain over 11,200 kilometers that make up the provincial snowmobile trail system.

Beyond the Economy

Snowmobiling strengthens communities by:
