OFSC Offers Go Snowmobiling Savings on 2014 Trail Permits Until Dec. 1

(November 4, 2013 - Barrie, ON) – The not-for-profit Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) invites Ontarians to experience exceptional fun, camaraderie and adventure by enjoying snowmobiling on available OFSC trails this winter. For the first time this season, 2014 Snowmobile Trail Permits are now available directly from the OFSC’s community based snowmobile clubs and their volunteers or from club designated retail outlets across the province. There are two permit types available until December 1:

Seasonal Permit - Seasonal Permits are available from clubs on or before December 1 for $210 – a saving of $50 off the regular permit fee of $260. Snowmobilers purchasing online at www.ofsc.on.ca can save an additional $7.50, thanks to no charge for Seasonal Permit processing fees until Dec. 1.

Classic Permit - Any snowmobiler owning a sled that is model year 1999 or older is entitled to buy a 2014 Classic Permit. Primarily available online for $140 on or before December 1, a Classic Permit offers a saving of $30 off the regular fee of $170. Classic Permits are also available on a limited basis at retail; contact OFSC district offices for locations.

Both the Seasonal and Classic Permit allow access to available OFSC trails anywhere in Ontario for the entire winter. OFSC member clubs operate over 30,000 kilometres of snowmobile trails throughout Ontario that rely on the revenue from the sale of permits to pay operational costs. These trails generate almost $1 billion of winter tourism economic impact annually, while enabling family riders from all walks of life to enjoy winter by visiting many places and sights only accessible by snowmobile.

OFSC trails are marked, mapped and maintained for the use and enjoyment of permit holders. Ontario law requires any snowmobile entering an OFSC trail for recreational sledding to display a valid permit. For more information on 2014 Snowmobile Trail Permits visit www.ofsc.on.ca.
