The ATV clubs are where the snowmobile clubs once were. It will come with time. Having a lot of separate permits or non reciprocal permits is a challenge.
They have joint permits now in some areas. I only buy day passes so it doesn’t matter to me. Atv is fun for a few rides a year, away from home.

I've rode Timmins, Cochrane, Hornepayne, and about everywhere between Dub and Searchmont.
I'm sure that I've never heard of anyone requiring permits in any of these places, at least not back when ....
.
Common place in central ontario to require permits on some trails. Allot of clubs have dedicated atv trails now and aren’t using same trails as sledders. So permits are a way for them to cover infrastructure like bridges and grading and fill where required. A two day permit is usually like 30 bucks or so, so not too expensive. I have only been checked once and that was on rail line coming out of hailburton going to kinmount. North I am guessing they aren’t organized like central part of province is and use mostly crown land, such as logging roads.

Markham tends to be the technology hub for Canada... definitely not anywhere in Quebec
I agree for it support. Lots of good things coming out of Montreal lately though, that I use for business, both software and hardware related. Can even do remote trouble shooting for me too and automatic updates. Amazing actually, what can be done today. Quebec is agriculture hub of Canada and that is why leading companies in sector pick Montreal over Markham.

I have to ask the question thats on everyone's mind. Someone in the computer world on here, tell me WHY?, each and every year theres problems with the online maps. And how come Quebec's site seem to work pretty darn good, and you can he damn sure they update etc each year, so they cant use that excuse. Im pretty tech savy, but if theres anyone in the computer world can give a good answer.
Lots of government funding in Quebec especially for snowmobiling. Quebec is also global leader in agriculture computer systems such as Maximus. So doesn’t surprise me they have a good online trail map. Very impressed with technology I get that comes out of Quebec, even doo’s come from there too.

Time to say Hello neighbours, looks like this time snow will stay, so keep finger crossed and see you on trail, Cheers
You had to say that. Maybe I should buy a rain suit so I could ride with you. Fingers crossed that the snow will hold and setup to allow an early start to season.

This year could be different but in the past usually only the Northern Corridor is about the only area open for New Years, anything else is a bonus.
That is trend now . Years ago I use to ride in Kearney area at New Years or hailburton down rail way line to kinmount was usually open . Even deerhurst sometimes had open trails down to port Sydney too. Maybe this year will be different. Sometimes east is open early from mattawa to pembroke as well.

Minus the winter months. Minus the blackflies. Minus the deer & horse flies...
My atv goes out almost every day. At end of day insurance is just over 300 bucks for 2 million liability, fire, theft and collision on a 700 cc Yamaha. I find that very reasonable. Sled is more and I only use it a handful of days a year.

I wonder what legal right an OFF duty OPP has to demand to see permits/insurance/ownership not to mention issuing tickets
Hailburton forests does this and they are sure friendly cops if you have your paper work in order. Must be worth three while and maybe need to do it to keep libabilty costs of thier trail system in check. Word gets out fast and then everyone complies pretty much.

Maybe in future one free day, would be a good promotion. Quebec is still doing it this year so they must see a benefit too it.
Ofsc needs to bring in day passes in my opinion. Not everyone wants to ride a min of two consecutive days. With online system should be no issue to sell day passes too.

That's not what they told me.... I am covered essentially anywhere it is legal to ride a snowmobile. If a municipality allows a sled on the road I am covered. If I am breaking the law then I am not. Pretty much the same as if you drive your car / truck on a road that has been closed by the police then no coverage.
What did they tell you about Ice riding and If your sled happens to go thru (hopefully it never happens) I hear different horror stories about going thru ice and insurance is voided and you are on your own essentially.

I hate to sound all negative but after 3 crappy winters in Southern Ontario I cant see a lot of people getting their kids into sledding. Probably different in Northern Ontario though.
Yeah it sucks! Hopefully we get a good year this year. Last year I rode one day from home and that was it for season!

TD declined me becuase I had 2 windshield claims in 2years on my insurance record. I tried to explain that at the time I had 5 cars insured so it really wasnt a huge deal. They told me I was too high risk. Bastards called me wanting to quote my house this year. I told them to f-off.
No more TD either for me. They wouldn’t insure my atv because I registered it in my farm companies name and use it for work around the farm. I moved everything over to a broker and pay similar rates without headaches. Broker automatically manages values of everything I have there too.

Not familiar with marketplace. Is it a FB thing? (not on FB) TIA
Yes it is part of Facebook. Basically only site I use to buy and sell things now. Nice knowing exactly who is coming to your house to buy your item before handing out the address. Every buddy has a rating like eBay which is nice feature. I find a wide age range of buyers and sellers on there too, so it is popular now. Good luck!

Try market place if you haven’t yet. I just sold one of my sleds on there.

Mattawa golf and ski is worth a look too. Mike and Brenda are great hosts and accommodations are good but was a bit outdated but clean when I was last there. They have been up dating cottages though I have been told. Can cook your own meals and or eat in restaurant on site. Great location and easy access to trail and lots of trailer parking if you want to go to pembroke for a night and come back. They support snowmobiling in area too.
