OPINION
TOUSSAINT, Chief Judge.
These consolidated cases arise out of two snowmobile accidents on a trail created, maintained, and groomed by the not-for-profit appellant Star Trails Association. Appellant moved for summary judgment based on immunity, and the district court denied the motion. Because appellant is entitled to immunity under (a) the exception to municipal liability for recreation areas, Minn.Stat. §§ 466.03, subd. 6e, 84.83, subd. 4 (2002), and (b) the recreational-use-immunity statute, Minn.Stat. § 604A.25 (2002), we reverse.
