All of the revenue from all Snowmobile Trail Permit sales goes to the OFSC and its clubs. Together, we invest these funds to operate, maintain and support over 40,000 km of OFSC snowmobile trails for your riding pleasure.
The Trail Permit is valid only when permanently affixed in the approved areas so that it is fully visible to a person standing 10 meters in front of the machine on its centerline.
