Aberdeen Driftbuster Snowmobile Club Poker Run
The Aberdeen Driftbusters Snowmobile Club Poker Run hosted just over 80 riders today. The weather was perfect. The trail was great but took a beating. The Club gained 5 new family memberships and 2 new associate memberships. Thank you all that participated.
Thank you, Richmond Oasis, The SHED in Westport and The Crossing Bar at Mina Lake for hosting us!

SNOWMOBILE TRAILS and SNOWBIKES
Questions have been raised on how to obtain a permit for snowbikes on the snowmobile trail.
Per SDGFP’s website: Motorcycle Trail Pass
32-20A-25. Permit to operate motorcycle as a snowmobile. Any resident owner who has titled a motorcycle which has been modified to comply with the definition of a snowmobile for use as a snowmobile on a state snowmobile trail or area established pursuant to the provisions of chapter 41-19 may purchase an annual permit valid from Dec. 1 – Mar…. 31, inclusive, for a fee of $20. The permit shall be affixed to the motorcycle on the right side of the unit and shall be clearly visible. The Department of Game, Fish and Parks shall collect the annual permit fee imposed by this section and shall deposit the fees in the snowmobile trails fund established by 32-5-9.2.
