9-21-2012~ 2010-2011 Economic Impact of Spending by Snowmobilers
This economic assessment undertaken by The Institute for New Hampshire Studies at Plymouth
State University shows that the sport of snowmobiling delivers an economic impact of $586 million to the State of New Hampshire annually
It is an honor to present the 2010-2011 Economic Impact of Spending by Snowmobilers on New Hampshire Economy. This report demonstrates the value of volunteerism in and for the State of
New Hampshire. Our state is nationally recognized for its wealth of wide, well-groomed snowmobile trails. These well-maintained snowmobile trails that everyone enjoys are due to an enormous volunteer effort by the snowmobile clubs throughout New Hampshire. The trail system is maintained without any contribution from general fund dollars, but brings substantial economic activity into the state.
I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the many men, women and families of New
Hampshire for the countless number of hours that they dedicated, making it possible for thousands
of people to enjoy the great State of New Hampshire.

5-18-2012~Tracked OHRV Registration Requirements
As of July 1, 2012, in order to operate on state-approved snowmobile trails, an OHRV (wheeled
vehicle) that has had the wheels or tires removed and replaced with tracks, cleats or skis, MUST
be properly registered in New Hampshire as a snowmobile.
The tracked OHRV must meet the definition of a snowmobile as defined by law.
The OHRV, with the tracks on, cannot exceed 54 inches in width and 1,200 pounds.
If operating as a wheeled vehicle, a New Hampshire OHRV registration is required.
Machines operated as a tracked OHRV on snowmobile trails in the winter, and as a wheeled OHRV must be dually registered in New Hampshire; both an OHRV and snowmobile registration are
required. Both sets of decal stickers must be displayed on the machine.

5-18-2012~Changes in place for OHRV & Snowmobile Event Permit Applications
Persons applying for permits to hold Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle (OHRV) and snowmobile
events should note that because of recent rule changes, a new application form now must be used.
The new form is available at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department's OHRV web page http://www.ride.nh.gov.
As in the past, the permit must be received at least 30 days prior to the planned event, and the
required $50 administrative fee must accompany the application.

The Corliss lawsuit has been dropped. The “victim’s” attorney admitted that permission was
mistakenly received from someone else, but not the actual landowner. Link is here on WMUR: http://www.wmur.com/news/29822722/detail.html
