We all “know” it has to go up.
Common sense would tell you that.
On the flip side though, put yourself in the OFSC shoes. The #1 complaint ( for reasons I can’t understand ) is the cost of the permit.
it is impossible for them to put the permit price to where it should be, and keep people sledding. They can’t win in any facet.
All they can do is look to reduce expenditures if they are not going to increase permit costs, all the while trying to increase ridership and permit sales.
there is only so much $$$ to go around.
