I thought the cap for permit price increase was limited to 7%? Can a 50.00 increase even be a possibility with the MTO involved? Asking since they were the ones who shot down the OFSC's recommendation for a request for a price increase. Ski

1. I hope you're right - but not sold they won't just do what they want until told otherwise - it's their MO   2. Agreed, in theory it should, but we've seen over the years how fickle our membership can be and how bent out of shape they get over these nominal financial things   3. 100% agree - anything less is hurting more than helping    4. Agree again - this should be common sense - but we know that lacks in all parts of society. It, in my view also hurts more than it helps and is a very very short sighted plan - that will explode in someones face, and not likely the person that made the decision, because they'll be gone!    

On the bold - that should be a given, too bad it was not, but as you have said....things tend to work out, and might have been for the best in an odd kind of way....lol   $50.00 should not be a hard pill to swallow considering the duration since last increase and increase in so many costs across the board....crap, I paid more of increase than that this year by waiting to pay full pop, and I seem to be doing okay after all.....  

Nutter you are spot on for the groomer topic.  Reduce the fleet and wear out your existing equipment that much faster.     Not sure there is a payoff there unless you’re a short term finance guy trying to justify a cutback decision.  And we had hit a low snow winter
