âA number of our member clubs are reporting seeing many snowmobiles which do not display the orange Snopass plate,â said Yvonne Rideout, executive director of Snoman. âThese snowmobilers will be subject to a substantial fine if they are travelling on Snoman trails and are caught by the RCMP or Manitoba Conservation officers.â
