2019 SNOW TOURS
35 Snow Tours for 2018-19!
Our 35 OFSC Promoted Snow Tours are self-guided rides that showcase some of our province’s best riding experiences and well-known snowmobiling regions. Each Snow Tour is a route carefully planned and maintained by its participating OFSC district (note: actual distances on the snow may vary slightly due to trail changes). Snow Tours are laid out on established trails that are well mapped, well marked and have good access to services.
Snow Tours take most of the guesswork and uncertainty out of your sledding, leaving you to simply enjoy a memorable, no hassle ride experience with friends and family. That’s why participating OFSC districts have committed to the highest possible consistency and quality with priority grooming for their Snow Tour trails – and it’s why you’ll be able to find your way around by following their Snow Tour signs. Just remember, if it’s not on this list, it’s not an OFSC-Promoted Snow Tour!
No other snowmobiling jurisdiction in North America offers anything as developed, as turnkey or as easy to navigate as our Snow Tours. So what are you waiting for? Check out the list below, then call your riding buddies and start planning – and find out more online at www.ofsc.on.ca!
All you have to do is follow the signs...and don't forget to Rate The Tours after your ride!
