Open Snowmobile Registration Weekend Is March 1-3, 2024
It’s time for snowmobile en- thusiasts to start planning for New Hampshire’s Open Snow- mobile Registration weekend. From Friday, March 1 through Sunday, March 3, 2024, riders from throughout New England, as well as those from all around the U.S. and Canada, will have the opportunity to explore the over 7,000 miles of picturesque trails.
During the three-day Open Snowmobile Registration Week- end, sleds legally registered to ride in other states and provinces will be able to operate on New Hampshire’s trails. All NH laws and regulations regarding the operation of snowmobiles will be enforced, including speed limits, safety equipment, carry- ing signed landowner permission letters, compliant exhaust systems relative to noise and decibel lev- els, and youth operation stan- dards. “This weekend is one of the highlights of the winter for
many resident and non-resident riders,” said NH Fish and Game Law Enforcement Captain Mi- chael Eastman, who coordinates snowmobile and off-highway recreational vehicle enforcement, registration, and safety education for the Department. “It’s a great opportunity for residents and vis- itors alike to explore some of the most beautiful parts of the state that can be most easily accessed by snowmobile in the winter.”
Open Snowmobile Registra- tion Weekend is an annual event held each March, and NH res- ident snowmobile enthusiasts should look to other New England states and Canadian provinces for similar Open Snowmobile Registration weekends in Janu- ary and February of 2024.
