The Wyoming State Snowmobile Association is working to protect snowmobiling access in Wyoming. The WSSA ACCESS WYOMING Program was established to help fund professional assistance with this on-going effort to help ensure that you can continue to ride in your favorite Wyoming backcountry areas.

Over 85% of the snowmobiling areas on public lands in Wyoming are currently undergoing management plan revisions by federal land managers. The federal planning actions currently in-progress in Wyoming that could affect your snowmobiling access includes the following:

• U.S. Forest Service, Bighorn National Forest Management Plan – in the final stages of completion (includes the North and South Bighorns/Sheridan/Buffalo/Worland/Lovell areas),
