The Yakima Ski-Benders were the first snowmobile club in Washington, founded in 1965 by five friends with a passion for riding and community.

Incorporated in 1967, their mission has always been to promote, develop, and maintain the sport of snowmobiling, while advocating for safety, and supporting the riding community.

The Yakima Ski-Benders maintain the largest groomed snowmobile area in Washington, covering 240 miles across Ahtanum, White Pass, Chinook Pass, and Greenwater.

The club encourages and participates in on trail clean-ups, bridge repairs, and making donations to local fire departments and search & rescue teams.

Interested in joining? Membership is just $10 for individuals or $20 for families.

Meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month from September to April at Magic's Pizza in Selah or via Zoom.

The club is always looking for new members who are passionate about keeping public lands open and strengthening the snowmobile community.
