The Snow and Ice Management Association (SIMA) supports private snow contractors across the U.S. and Canada with training, resources, and advocacy. With over 1,200 members, SIMA is building a stronger, more connected industry—one contractor at a time.
In the private snow and ice management world, community and connection matter. Whether you’re a solo operator or managing a large team, finding others who understand the unique challenges of the industry can be a game-changer.
That’s where the Snow and Ice Management Association (SIMA) comes in.
What started with just 10 members has grown into a thriving network of more than 1,200 contractors across the United States and Canada. SIMA exists to support private snow professionals through training, resources, and advocacy—all designed to help members grow, improve, and succeed.
And for many members, joining SIMA marks a major turning point in their journey.
Across the industry, contractors often talk about how there was their business before SIMA—and their business after SIMA. The shift is real. With access to peer learning, best practices, and industry standards, members often see dramatic improvements in how they operate, grow, and lead.
A Place to Learn and Connect
SIMA offers more than education—it creates space for connection. Members learn from one another, exchange best practices, and discover new ways to improve operations and customer service. Whether it’s in-person events, webinars, or peer networks, the focus is on practical, results-driven growth.
Advocacy That Makes a Difference
SIMA is also a national voice for private contractors. Right now, the association is working on liability protection for salt applicators, an issue that impacts snow professionals across the country. But advocacy efforts only succeed when members get involved.
To influence legislation, SIMA needs thousands of contractors—not just a few—to contact their state senators and representatives. With a united voice, the industry has a real shot at securing the protections it needs.
Open to All Snow Pros
There are still many contractors who haven’t yet engaged with SIMA, and the door is wide open. Whether you want to improve your business, build relationships, or make a difference in policy, SIMA is here to support you.
If you work in private snow and ice management, SIMA is built for you.
