CLUB NEWS:
Welcome back to another season of our online newsletter. If you are new here - we send out an email like this once a month from September to April. You'll find details on our events and programs below. You can unsubscribe at any time. We can't wait to get back into the 2026-2027 snowmobile season! The Farmers Almanac is predicting a fall with high precipitation, so we are hopeful that means a year with lots and lots of snow. We've already seen snowfall in the Alberta Rockies. :) To kick off the season, we're back with our freshly rebranded Alberta Powersports Show (previously the Alberta Snowmobile, ATV & Off-Road Show). There are lots of new things to see and do at the event. We also have a number of club rallies scheduled (dates are subject to change). If you haven't already, we invite you to renew your ASA membership on our website. Since we redesigned the website and have a new web host, you will need to create a new account with your email (even if you have logged in and purchased one in previous seasons). Head to albertasnowmobile.ca for more info.
New this year at the Alberta Powersports show- This SNOWPLANE exhibit has been seen by over 14,000 people. You won't want to miss it. You may have heard about snowplanes, but if not, the vehicles were an important form of winter transportation used on the prairies from the 1930's to the 1950's. Snowplanes do not fly, they are "on ground" winter transportation that runs on skis powered by an airplane propeller in the back. Our Snowplane Display has two parts to it: 1. A History of Snowplanes Museum inside of a brand new 24 ft enclosed trailer. It features interactive displays about snowplanes, props and other snowplane memorabilia. 2. The restored 1947 Fudge "Snow-Sedan" is wheeled out and set up on the floor in front of the museum trailer so people can see the machine for themselves up close.
Changes to memberships This summer we launched our freshly designed and updated website. You can still find us online at www.albertasnowmobile.ca Since we switched our backend website host we are restarting our membership database. What this means for our returning members - You will need to create a new account if you haven't logged in to the new website after August 2026. You can use any email you choose to create your new account. After creating the new account you will be prompted to purchase your online membership for $80 or $90 if you choose to get a decal. You can now purchase the decal in the same transaction as your membership. Decals are optional. You'll be prompted to select a club at the time of purchase from a dropdown list. If you are not a club member you can select no club. Please get ahold of the ASA by emailing info@albertasnowmobile.ca or calling the office during business hours at 780.427.2695 Thanks for your support. As a not for profit, your membership purchases help us and our clubs to continue the progress of our trail system across Alberta.
