Ski-Doo Revives the Snow PASS Program for a Sustainable Future

Ski-Doo, a renowned name in the snowmobiling industry under BRP Inc., has proudly announced the return of its Snow PASS program. This initiative aims to bolster the snowmobiling community's commitment to responsible riding and the preservation of winter recreational areas. The Snow PASS program not only provides essential financial aid but also emphasizes the importance of community involvement in maintaining and enhancing trails and riding experiences.

A Commitment to Community

The Snow PASS initiative is designed to protect, access, sustain, and support the areas that are vital for winter sports enthusiasts. Since its inception, the program has successfully allocated over CAD $1.2 million in funding, which has facilitated more than 240 community-led projects across North America. These projects have made significant contributions to improving trail infrastructure, ensuring safety and enjoyment for the hundreds of thousands of riders who explore the snow each winter.

David Baker, Vice President and General Manager of Powersports at BRP, highlighted the vital role played by local clubs and volunteers. He remarked, "We recognize the countless hours local clubs and volunteers dedicate to making our sport possible. They maintain trails, support continued access, and protect the playgrounds we all enjoy." This acknowledgment reflects Ski-Doo’s commitment to not just the sport but also to the environment and the community.

Funding Opportunities for 2026-27

For the upcoming 2026-27 season, eligible national, provincial, state, and local nonprofit clubs or community organizations are encouraged to apply for grants of up to $5,000. These funds can be directed towards initiatives focused on protecting and maintaining riding areas, enhancing trail infrastructure, and revitalizing volunteer engagement.

The application window is open from April 1 to July 31, 2026, with funding decisions expected by September 15, 2026. Organizations that previously submitted funding proposals but did not receive support in past rounds are invited to apply again, ensuring continued opportunities for community enhancement.

A Focus on Responsible Riding

The return of the Snow PASS program is part of a broader initiative by Ski-Doo to promote responsible riding and environmental stewardship. The Snow PASS program aligns with BRP's Responsible Rider program, which emphasizes safe riding behaviors, respect for local communities, and the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations.

By actively supporting local clubs and improving trail infrastructure, Ski-Doo embodies its principles of responsible riding. This commitment not only ensures that snowmobiling remains an exhilarating and safe sport but also enhances the accessibility of winter recreational activities for coming generations.
