Cool dogs on sleds

Hi,
Does anybody know if people ride snowmobiles w/ their dogs? Are the trails in Alton on rt. 11 open for anyone to ride ,or do you have to belong to a club.
Thank, Wynn

Every trail in the state is open for anyone to ride provided the snowmobile is registered in state. In NH you get a substantial discount for joining a local club, but more importantly, you help fund the maintenance of your local trails.

Did you have a way to keep the dog on the sled? Mine is jumpy.
And just what "discounts" do you get from joining a club?
I would think my NH license "helps the state", just like my fishing & boating lic's

Our dogs just rode in our laps since they were 4 1/2 lbs and 7 lbs. I had the smaller one in my jacket most of the time. The 7 lb one flipped with the hotrod at 50 mph which didn't make me happy. I did have a bag but didn't use it for them. I think your dog would just ride with you if he likes it.

The state, recognizing that volunteer clubs perform the lion's share of trail maintenance, provides a snowmobile registration discount of $30 per sled for club members. Our dues in Moultonborough are $35/ year so you almost break even when registering one sled and do better the more sleds you register.

Here is the breakdown from last year:
Resident Club Member is $64.00.
Resident Non-Club Member is $94.00.

Non-Resident Club Member is $84.00.
Non-Resident, Non-Club Member is $114.00.
