2011 House Bill 4299

Require state cross country ski trail user fee

Introduced in the House

Feb. 17, 2011

Introduced by Rep. Steven Lindberg (D-109)

To require cross country skiers to purchase a permit to ski on state X-C ski trails. The permit cost would be $5 per day, $20 for an annual permit, or $40 for a three-year permit, plus a $1 transaction fee for license agents. The money would go into a new state skiways fund to pay for trail maintenance, grooming and acquisition (unless a majority of the legislature voted to used it for other government spending). Skiing on a state trail without a pass would subject to a $50 civil fine.

Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation
