[706 trail in Glen Alda closed?]

Revrnd is right, it's a Stoney Lake trail.  Normally, it crosses a road bridge over the Crowe River but that bridge is being replaced so the trail and the road is out of action there.

 

That being said, the club has created a re-route which goes from Glen Alda (at the Bordertown Café), alongside of Highway 620 west for about 1km and then south about 2km on Glen Alda Road and re-joins the trail at Winters Bay Road.  There are a couple of "Follow Road to Trail" signs on the re-route.

 

The lake trail through Winters Bay is not staked this year but the other Stoney Lake trail on Chandos is staked and it gets a lot of traffic.

 

As long as there's snow on the side of Highway 620, the re-route is not too bad.

[Is the OFSC missing out]

We considered this at one of our club events but we believed that OFSC liability insurance would not cover this if something happened and people were paying for a ride.

[Driver Training Classroom Numbers Dropping]

I believe that Haliburton County Snowmobile Association had a well-filled class in District 6.  I've heard a few parents saying that they want their kids going to the class rather than doing the online course.

[2020 Permit Gift Cards]

MTO Minister Mulroney announced as part of her keynote address that gift cards would be available this year.  She didn't provide any details, though.

[Only One Trip Meter 2020 Ski Doo Gauge Cluster]

Thanks for the heads-up.  I sent BRP an email ad well.  I frequently use both of them on my sled.
