Snowmobile and winter trails in Manitoba
Manitoba's groomed snowmobile trails are run by Snoman (Snowmobilers of Manitoba) and its member clubs, and about 10,400 km of them are mapped on OpenStreetMap, shown on the map below. For skiing, snowshoeing and fat biking, Manitoba Parks designates 129 winter trails and recreation areas in 14 provincial parks, about 582 km in all.

Snowmobiling: what you need
- A Snopass on Snoman trails. From December 1 to April 30, every snowmobile on a Snoman trail needs a Snopass: $150 for the season, $75.50 for 7 days or $49.50 for 3 days. The pass belongs to the machine, not the rider, and the fine for riding without one is $486. Snoman trails inside provincial parks are part of the same system.
- Buy it with your registration. Snowmobiles are registered and insured through Manitoba Public Insurance, and the Snopass is sold by MPI agents at the same time. An annual Snopass runs with the machine's registration, so if the registration renews during the season, the pass has to be renewed with it.
- Riders from Saskatchewan can use Snoman trails with their own registration and insurance (at least $500,000 of liability coverage). Everyone else, Manitobans included, needs a Snopass.
- Helmets, lights and age. Under the Off-Road Vehicles Act, the driver and every passenger must wear a helmet; lights must be on from half an hour before sunset to half an hour after sunrise, and whenever visibility is 60 m or less; and no one under 14 may drive unless a parent, or an adult the parent authorizes, is with them and keeps them in view.
- Roads. Snowmobiles may not travel on a road, its shoulder or its median. They may cross directly at an intersection, at a designated crossing, or anywhere at least 3 km from the nearest intersection, and the driver must hold a driver's licence to cross.
The trail lines on this site show where trails run, not whether they are groomed or open this week. Check Snoman's trail status map or its Snowmobile Manitoba app before you ride, and read the winter on Crown land guide for lake crossings and winter roads.
Park winter trails
In winter, Manitoba Parks assigns each trail to an activity: groomed ski trails, shared-use trails wide enough for skiers, walkers and fat bikes side by side, and trails packed only for walking and snowshoeing. Never walk, snowshoe or ride on set ski tracks, keep dogs on a leash, and keep fat bikes off ski-only and snowmobile trails. Snowshoeing is allowed on any trail that isn't groomed for skiing or snowmobiling. A park vehicle permit is needed all year.
