From Jan. 20-22, 2017, snowmobilers from Maine can obtain a free three-day trail permit to ride in New Brunswick. The special free permit must be obtained online by visiting www.nbfsc.com.
All snowmobiles and snowmobilers on NBFSC trails will still be required to carry personal PLPD insurance ($200,000 minimum) and have a current 2017 snowmobile registration from Maine.
Additionally, riders from New Brunswick will be permitted to operate in Maine without a current Maine registration on those dates if their snowmobile is legally registered in New Brunswick.
The following weekend, Jan. 27-29, 2017, is the annual tri-state snowmobile weekend. This annual three-day event allows all legally registered Maine snowmobiles to be operated in New Hampshire and Vermont without being registered in those states, and snowmobiles legally registered in New Hampshire and Vermont can be operated in Maine without a current Maine registration.
