  1. I think the big difference is the geography between the two provinces. Montreal is as far north as Huntsville. Quebec City is comparable to North Bay. You essentially have two major cities that are living in the snow belt. Those riders can be in good snow within a very close drive. They also can be at exceptional destinations in 5 hours or less. From Montreal Gaspe, Saguenay and Abitibi are all only 5 hours away. The laurentians, Lanauduere and Chaudiere are all less than 2 hours from home. There is inheritantly more value to these populations as opposed to someone in Toronto that is only in North Bay or Sudbury with a 4 - 5 hour trip (great riding, but not as good as Gaspe or Abitibi). The algonquin highlands are a 2 hour drive from the GTA which is great sledding, but it's definately a shorter season than Lanaudiere. I don't think the OFSC is doomed. It's arguable that district 5 is in trouble unless there is some technology changes (can we come up with a way to preserve the snow we get or make artificial snow???). The OFSC is arguably making much better use of resources compared to Quebec on a dollar by dollar basis. That said there's no denying that Quebec is delivering more grooming, better signage and a longer season due to the geographic advantages it has. They are probably attaining and spending 30% or more cash each season compared to Ontario so it's no wonder there is differences. Here's hoping we see permit sales increase in Ontario this winter. I personally haven't met anyone yet that bought permits last season that said they won't buy this year due to covid. This could work out very well for the sport in Ontario.

  2. They wouldn't get your signature on the new waiver though. I do like the idea though.

  6. Totally different type of people that live in ON & QC when it comes to lifestyles and opening their wallet for enjoyment or pleasure. ON folks just don't want to pay for certain things, not all, but a larger majority......QC people seem to have a lot less thought when it comes to spending, granted the tax & cost of living structure is different.
