Hi,
Does anybody know if people ride snowmobiles w/ their dogs? Are the trails in Alton on rt. 11 open for anyone to ride ,or do you have to belong to a club.
Thank, Wynn

We used to ride snowmobiles with our dogs.

Every trail in the state is open for anyone to ride provided the snowmobile is registered in state. In NH you get a substantial discount for joining a local club, but more importantly, you help fund the maintenance of your local trails.

Did you have a way to keep the dog on the sled? Mine is jumpy.
And just what "discounts" do you get from joining a club?
I would think my NH license "helps the state", just like my fishing & boating lic's

Our dogs just rode in our laps since they were 4 1/2 lbs and 7 lbs. I had the smaller one in my jacket most of the time. The 7 lb one flipped with the hotrod at 50 mph which didn't make me happy. I did have a bag but didn't use it for them. I think your dog would just ride with you if he likes it.

The state, recognizing that volunteer clubs perform the lion's share of trail maintenance, provides a snowmobile registration discount of $30 per sled for club members. Our dues in Moultonborough are $35/ year so you almost break even when registering one sled and do better the more sleds you register.

Here is the breakdown from last year:
Resident Club Member is $64.00.
Resident Non-Club Member is $94.00.

Non-Resident Club Member is $84.00.
Non-Resident, Non-Club Member is $114.00.
