LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The state is increasing snowmobile permit fees for the 2011 season.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday that this season the price for a permit is $45, an increase of $10 over last year's price.

The fee will be $45 through the 2015 snowmobile season.

A state law signed in 2008 provided for the incremental increase in snowmobile trail fees, which support maintenance and grooming of the state's snowmobile trail network.
