OFSC Announces Two Great New Benefits for Snowmobilers
Online Permit Sales and Classic Permits Available This Season!
(Barrie, ON. October 27, 2009): After a year of research and development, the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) has launched online permit sales at
www.ofsc.on.ca. For the first time provincially, snowmobilers are now able to buy their Full Season Trail Permits online, just in time to save $50 by purchasing on or before December 1st. The new site, approved by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO), is secure, confidential and private, meeting all the Government of Ontario privacy and risk standards to protect consumers and safeguard web site transactions.
“Our clubs and our customers have requested the convenience and simplicity of online permits sales,“ commented Paul Shaughnessy, OFSC executive director. “We expect our new online business to significantly reduce the workload of both our volunteers and our traditional permit selling outlets.”
Available only through OFSC district offices, the new Classic Permit is a Go
Snowmobiling initiative intended to increase trail riding among owners of antique sleds and participation among families whose older snowmobiles may have previously been inactive. The Classic Permit is only for sleds that are model year 1995 or older, at a fee that is 50% of the regular cost of a Full Season Permit. For 2010, a Classic Permit sells for $125. A VIN number is required to purchase a Classic Permit.
For 2010, Ontario Snowmobile Trail Permit fees and types authorized by MTO and
sold through the OFSC are:
• Full Season Permit
o Pre-Season Fee - On or before December 1, 2009: $200
o Regular Fee - After December 1, 2009: $250
• Seven-Day Permit: $140
• Three-Day Permit: $100
• Special Event Permit: $35 (available only for club sanctioned events)
• Classic Permit: $125 (sleds 15 years or older)
• Replacement Permit: $10 (from selling club with proof of purchase)
All Ontario Snowmobile Trail Permits are official and legal instruments of the Ministry
of Transportation of Ontario (MTO). Recreational snowmobiles entering or travelling an OFSC Prescribed Trail are required by Ontario law to have and display a valid
snowmobile trail permit (some exceptions may apply for certain user groups, see Ontario Regulation 185/01, Section 4).
The OFSC Go Snowmobiling Campaign is targeted to increase participation in
recreational snowmobiling and help grow the industry by promoting the snowmobiling
lifestyle. The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs is dedicated to providing strong
leadership and support to member clubs and volunteers, to establishing and maintaining quality snowmobile trails which are used in a safe and environmentally responsible manner, and to furthering the enjoyment of organized snowmobiling.










Canada's largest and most extensive classified network in the country is here for you to buy and sell your snowmobiles

30 days - 30 photos - $30.00. Now that's a deal

And the best part - Money collected from this classified network goes back into our activity to improve our trails network and safety programs. Tell your friends, list your sleds and go snowmobiling!
