Why Your OFSC Permit Matters

Managing 25,500 km of Ontario’s curated snowmobile trail network is no small feat. Even with more than $16 million in volunteer labour annually, the costs keep climbing:

• Over the last 5 years, expenses have risen 52% (from $17.8M in 2021 to $27.1M in 2025).
• In just the last 3 seasons, the OFSC has invested $61.6M into trails, grooming, infrastructure, and equipment.
• Clubs groomed 758,000 km of trail last winter—the equivalent of circling the Earth nearly 19 times!

Permit revenue is what makes this all possible.

What’s New for 2025/2026

• Permit fees remain frozen at last year’s prices—but your early commitment is critical to keeping those trails up. 
• Trail network capped at 25,500 km: fewer underused trails, more focus on quality and connectivity.
• Smarter grooming operations: better coordination across the province to ensure consistent riding conditions wherever you go.

How You Can Help

• Buy your permit early and encourage your friends to do the same.
• Support your local club through volunteering or fundraising events.
• Respect the trails and landowners—preserving access for the future.
• Share your story about what snowmobiling means to you.

See you on the trails!
