Oh, i thought it was once person at the OFSC.
No, it is one person at the district level. In an area that once open stays that way it is not an imperative thing, but it would seem that a time lag of a day or two when a trail moves from closed to limited or open has a very negative outcome. Many stay home when they could ride, or trailer to a far away area to ride when they could have done so close to home. I cannot see anyone not being a little peeved if they trailered 250km to ride for the day, only to find out the trails ten minutes away were groomed and open. Hence why I say, if the trails have already been open, and it snows a decent amount, ride em and forget that map.

I think it should be possible that each district have their own access to the map and update on their own whenever they want. Why leave it to one paid person to find the time to do the updates. The map is most likely a database where there is a value assigned to each section of trail closed, limited, open or unknown. Assign a login id and password to each district's section of the database and make their own changes.

It already is done by the district.

I thought snowmobiles are under same classification as cars...thats why you need the yearly plate sticker but on atvs you do not although I see that changing soon....
Your personal insurance will cover your snowmobile if running on a closed trail. This has been discussed many times, with adjusters, and brokers both confirming this to be true.

Agreed on that. I ran from shining tree to rockies in 2 feet of powder averaging about 110-120 kmh the entire trip except in the twisty parts of the pole line and burned 34 liters of fuel in 150 km of riding. groomed hard trails I burn 21 liters on the same trip. Range on sled went from 240 kms down to 155kms and I almost ran out of fuel. Another think I found, riding very slow burns a ton more fuel per km. This season I was out for a few hours putting around doing some brushing and riding on pre groomed early season trails, added 25 liters for 75 kms. Unless you know your sled very well it is hard to determine your range if you are riding in abnormal conditions.
