ecarnell Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Got our two. sooo nice not having to worry this year of having sleds arrive before the snow flys (both did NOT last year). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I will order both of ours once I get a VIN number for the new sled, worst case, One trail permit and One Gift Card. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreyboater Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 My 2 OFSC permits on the way, plus 2 FCMQ 7 days will buy this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyr Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I ordered an OFSC gift card. I am on the fence about a Quebec permit. I will be a last minute buyer of one if it looks like I will even get close to breaking even on it. I hate the temp passes from Quebec. I find that I just get waved through Police checks with the full season sticker on my sled but always have to pull over and go through the motions when I have a temp pass on my machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, we've never had much problem with the 7 day permits. Had one guy who wanted to check the dates on each of the 4 sleds years ago but that's the only time and it didn't take long.

Last year we actually didn’t run into any of them on our trip. But I can see why the partial or temp permits would get scrutinized more….typically suggests that I’m not a local and to validate the dates…lol.

scottyr Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 When I did the Gaspe tour we got stopped 7 times. I had a full season pass and led most of the trip. 5 out of the 7 times we came to a Police check, I was waved through and the rest of the group was stopped and ALL documents were checked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderman Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Last time was in QC I do not recall getting stopped or checked at all in the 2 days through there. It was also about -45 - so that could have played a factor in it as well lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Farmer Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 With price of diesel sky rocketing now. I wonder what affect that have on grooming frequency this winter? Some sources say we could see 3.0 dollars a litre clear. Hopefully with border open Americans will come back and buy permits again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The budget dictates fuel useage. We are covered for budget.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we had closed schools for all of January - and unfortunately closed trails too. My son and I were so upset - the one time school and hockey were closed simultaneously and we couldn't even go sledding. It was a piss off to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two would be for me and my boy. My current main sledding chum will likely follow us up once this year. And my old main sledding chum and his boy are in process of fetchin' their passports as they are chomping at the bit to head back out towards Halfway. My chum hasn't been up since '08 I don't think, and his boy - never. But they live in Munising, Mich, so not like they haven't been riding. All of those will likely just buy weekend passes if/when the time comes. If we think that we may be on many trails anyhow... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
