Elliot Lake Snow - Friday October 16th A friend of mine who lives on Dunlop Lake within the City of Elliot Lake, shared this today. Same lake as the Dunlop Lake Lodge

@Chez Gaston, in Dubreuilville, this am. off our security cam. Ski

November Riding is fast approaching for north of Sault Ste. Marie. Based upon my years of record-keeping, the average start date should be approximately November 11th. That means 30 Days to go. The countdown begins. I will again be running the 440's this year, a legendary tradition that continues. Not sure who will die first, me or those reliable wedge snowmobiles. The attached photo below was taken November 10th - 2019. Wishing everyone a safe 2020-21 season. Keep in touch. Dan-Senior Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario dan.kachur@email.com

I had 14400 miles on my 1994 xcr 440 before I sold it. Never rebuilt did a track and clutches and drive bearings, voltage regulators, rebuilt fox shocks. I had first year of plastic ski’s and everyone thought I was nuts. (Most people ran steel with skins on them back then)

I have no reason (to date) to pay the extra charges for courier delivery. I have purchased 2 permits every year but last year (only 1 permit) since online started and have had no delivery issues. The only thing that I think the OFSC needs to do is spell out in big bright letters on the order site what date permits will start to be shipped. That would take the worry or concern out of the equation for those that have been fretting.

Not if by courier - nearly threw out one pass last year as the second one was stuck in the envelope in such a way it was unseen. I paid for tracked delivery on September 1, still have received no email for two passes. Had phoned OFSC in September and a fellow named Marco told me that passes bought this way would be shipped by Purolator. Last year, same thing, but no warning email and the Purolator delivery person left the "you were not at home" sticker in a place where I did not see it. Trusting my instincts, went over to the local Purolator pick up place at a convenience store, and there it was. Year before, trail passes bought "regularly - no fee" travelled to Owen Sound and a couple of other places before finally getting to me. Jasmine at the local Shopper's post office and I became fast friends as we followed its route from day to day. I still send her a Christmas card every year on January 7. The Quebec pass I ordered arrived three days after purchase in regular mail.

If you don’t get your permit within 30 days and you get your credit statement, you have write to put a hold on funds and credit card company will do investigation and you have a form to fill out, if ofsc won’t tell you where the permit is. Credit card companies will stand behind any transaction as long as you report it, within 15 days if receiving statement. I have had to go this route a few times on different things. Always got a credit after about 60 or so days and charges reversed. This is beauty of credit cards.

Got the same email today, and I did NOT pay for preferred shipping

Got email today saying my permit has been shipped . was starting to wonder how long it was going to take but looks like it’s on the way

Early Snow - North of Sault Ste. Marie This is projected snow for Friday Night into Saturday (October 17th). This is obviously going to melt by Saturday, but an interesting preliminary start.

If it's not warranty I go with Wild Bill at Rosseau Rd. just south of Parry Sound. It's a long drive for me but I believe it's worth the drive for service I can trust.

Since the provincial government suspended the requirements for renewal until further notice, I have not renewed my plates for car or truck (due in May)

Wow 3 emails. You buy 3 passes or are you getting charged 3 times for one?
