Snowmobile Alliance of Western States
Our SAWS goal is simple – we want to keep snowmobilers riding areas open, period. We communicate to our members through our web site and by email only, passing along information that will allow our members to easily let those in charge of OUR public lands - our riding areas - know how you feel and what you think they should or should not do regarding management of OUR public lands. We wanted to maximize our numbers and effectiveness so we chose not to charge a membership fee. Our hope was that without any cost associated with membership, snowmobilers would not hesitate to join.
As of the fall of 2007, we have over 2200 members from across the United States and several Canadian provinces. The majority of our current members are from the states of Idaho, Montana and Washington. We also have state snowmobile associations from Alaska, California/Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, and numerous snowmobile clubs from many western states that have also joined SAWS to help in our goal. The individual members of these organizations increase our effectiveness substantially. This tremendous response validates the need for an organization such as SAWS. We need to continue to grow in order to be able to make a major difference and have a voice in the outcome of all potential closures. We want to be able to squash the tirade of the extreme green organizations that have hundreds of thousands of members, and millions of dollars, that want to see snowmobiling erased from this planet.
With your help, SAWS can make a difference...
