More gray area. yamadooed; Are you saying, for the first 15 days as a Illinois resident, riding my Illinois registered sled in Wis I do not need a Wis "trail permit", or "nonresident registration" on my sled, as long as I have my Illinois registration applied to my sled properly??? But after 15 days I do??? Perhaps that's why the DNR would not explicitly answer my questions directly??? Idn??? This is puzzling for sure.

You WILL need a non-resident trail pass to ride in Wis. Even for 1 day.
He is talking about Registering it in Wis. As far as the 15 consecutive days in Wi that would be hard for them to prove. They just want all sleds to be registered.
Okay. And thanks. It means you need to have your sled registered in your home state. All of the gray areas lead back to the home state registration, even if registered in Wis as a nonresident. DNR would not tell me, that I could "legally" ride in Wis being registered as a nonresident, without home state registration. It's just the money thing again.

If you have your sled Registered as Non-resident .you still need to buy an additional trail pass to be legal to ride. It is a little less money than a non resident trail pass. With Wi. registration you then get a discount on trail pass.
Seems most states snowmobile registration laws seem to revolve around making sure the machine is legally registered somewhere. So you can't just buy a trail pass, that's always an add-on ( or included in the registration as it is in MN)

Wis did have a simple to use system. Not now. Just more government hoops to jump thru???

MI is the same. Needs a current registration (either home state or non-resident Mi) along with a Mi trail pass to be legal.
A non resident Wi. Registration is probably okay also the main theme seems to be that the sled is currently registered somewhere
I can confirm based on my discussion with MDNR officer last year, they don't care where you live, as long as your sled is registered somewhere plus their trail pass sticker.

So just to clarify why this post grew to 55 posts, I think there were 3 separate circumstances being discussed:
1.) The original question, which was how long is an IL registration good for? I think this has been answered, 3 years, same as before.
2.) Can you register a sled in WI only and not your home state? The answer is yes, and it used to be beneficial because you wouldn't have to buy a trail sticker every year. That has now changed.
3.) My question, which was how does a WI resident with WI registration purchase an IL trail sticker (IL requirement per the DNR site)? A few potential answers, but nothing definite.

That is not what I referred to as a gray area???
