Snowmobiling Spotlight

As another incredible snowmobiling season comes to a close, we want to thank everyone who helped make it one of the most memorable in recent years. From our volunteers, groomer operators, clubs, landowners, partners, and permit buyers - your support made it all possible.

The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) appreciates the opportunity to participate in the public consultation on a proposed high-speed rail network in the Province of Ontario. The OFSC opposes this project as currently proposed, due to its impact on riders, communities, local businesses, landowners, and Ontario’s winter economy.

This might be a long post, so we’ll see where it goes. I’ve been snowmobiling for over 30 years. Growing up with my dad most of my riding was based out of the Haliburton area.

We all see lots of negativity on these forums, so bear with me for a longer post about the positive things that happen.

Big reasons, small reasons, serious ones and silly ones - we rounded up 294 reasons to get your 2026 Ontario Snowmobile Trail Permit.

By the end of the 2023 season, we’d ridden every loop of Algoma’s OFSC trail system. My favorites were The Northern Experience, The Deer Trail and The North Shore Scenic. Geologic formations amidst rugged terrain surfaces, simulated well, that of old mushrooms (chaga), yet on a whole different scale; exciting, to say the least-but definitely […]

For the first weekend of March, we met friends at the Sand Dam Rd. parking and staging site about 25 kilometres north of North Bay on Highway 11, at the intersection of TOP A/D and TOP A102Q. As we packed our gear onto the sleds for our overnight getaway, the clouds started to part and […]

As a couple who ride together, we enjoy the beauty of being out on our trails taking in what the OFSC has to offer.  After a long 25 years, we decided to get back into snowmobiling in December of 2020. We made a plan to purchase one snowmobile to use to make sure that we […]

  Many snowmobilers are upset about not being able to go trail riding whenever and wherever they want this season – and today’s rain across most of Southern Ontario won’t help.
