Jason Wiebe
President
Jason was elected Snoman President in October 2022. His passion for snowmobiling was deeply engrained at a young age as his family has a long history of snowmobiling. He has snowmobiled extensively across Manitoba, as well as in Saskatchewan, Northern Ontario, New Brunswick, Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. Jason is a member of Eastman Snopals where he serves as Vice President. He also serves as President of the Eastern Region Snowmobile Association. Riding snowmobiles, while improving the experience for both him and others, has been a way of life for Jason. His goals for the Snoman board include promoting process improvement and collaboration across the organization.
Darcy Wyborn
Vice President/Western Region Director
Darcy has been actively involved with snowmobiling in 2001 in the Brandon area. He has held positions of President and Treasurer at the club level. Darcy became involved with the West Region Snowmobile Association, acting as a club representative. He has served as treasurer, an Alternate Director to Snoman, and then a regional Director. He is the president of the WRSA, treasurer of his local club, and Snoman’s Vice President. This would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the support of his wife and two daughters.
Darcy looks forward to the new challenges, continuing his work with the clubs, maintaining a family-friendly approach, and turning every ride into a fun adventure.

In 1997, he became an Interlake Region representative on the Snoman Board. Wayne’s involvement with the sport continued and he has been actively involved with the trail audit process.
