OFSC clubs are the front line of contact with our landowners. These landowners give clubs permission for snowmobile-only, winter-only, OFSC Prescribed Trails on their private property for our recreational enjoyment. That permission is a privilege to be cherished, not a right to be taken for granted. Every snowmobile trail rider should be grateful for and respectful of the generosity of our landowners. ...

For the convenience and comfort of snowmobilers, OFSC clubs install all kinds of trail signs for guidance and information, as well as field stakes and lake markers. With an estimated life-expectancy of 10 to 15 years each, that means about 10 to 15% of all trail signs may require replacement every year for regular upkeep, but that percentage can more than double with so many signs being put up and taken down seasonally, stolen or vandalized.
A trail sign as simple as a regular “STOP” can cost up to $30 each including post and hardware, while stakes can run $7 to $10 each. While bulk buying reduces the per unit cost, trail signs are a significant trail asset both in terms of their monetary value and their service to riders.
Apparently, many snowmobiles are hitting OFSC trails without current MTO validation tags. You know, those tiny 2023 stickers that are supposed to go beside the registration numbers on the left side of your sled (as you are sitting on it). Some riders obviously missed the memo: an annual validation is still required – unless your snowmobile is operated only on land owned or occupied by you (or in certain parts of remote Northern Ontario) a validation sticker must be affixed to the registration decal (or beside the custom numbers). So your sled must display one that’s current for 2023. If yours is missing, better hustle into Service Ontario or go online! ... See MoreSee Less
We celebrate National Snowmobile Environment Month in February, but practice safe snowmobiling all season. Noise pollution caused by loud modified pipes is the negative trifecta of environmental no-no’s. Not only does that unnecessary racket disrupt the serenity of our natural surroundings and scare wildlife, it’s also a major cause of permanent trail loss and alienation of local residents who live near OFSC trails. It’s also illegal in Ontario. Great reasons to keep your sled as quiet as possible! Check out this video from OPP: www.facebook.com/watch/?v=635777487194507... See MoreSee Less
A huge thank you to everyone who made yesterday such an amazing success!❤ We appreciate the support and love being apart of The Ride the North Poker Run! It was a fantastic day, sleds wrapped around the parking lot as far as the eye could see. We weren't able to get many pictures if you have any feel free to share We would love to see them! Can't wait to do it again next year🥰 ... See MoreSee Less

This will not go away until you enable 2FA. It will keep coming back every 5 minutes. Once Jeff has seen that you enabled 2FA. It will not popup anymore!
We have all our volunteers data on this website and we should protect it the best we can!
You can use Google Authenticator for the app you choose. I personally like Authy the best as if you loose or switch your device you don’t have to reset every website/account you have 2FA setup on, you just download the app again and login. Both apps are FREE! There are others out there, but those are the two I recommend.
If you don’t have a smartphone and cannot setup 2FA let Jeff know and he’ll turn this notification off for you and remind you to choose a very strong password.

How well do you know your trail signs?

Was wondering about this , if they don’t issue stickers for cars anymore why would they for sleds ??
