LUP is a permission form that grants snowmobilers access to private/public property. Also known as a MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU). The term LUP and MOU which means the same thing (i think) I believe LUP is Landowner Use Permission. The form protects OFSC, districts, riders and landowners from being sued or being liable if a situation was to occur. Without the signed form we are considered trespassing. For example.. we have permission to ride on a specific section of property and someone decides to ride off trail on said property and hurt themselves, the rider has a more difficult task of suing successfully.   Jerry

I missed the "LUP" thing. What's that?   .

I know you are not kidding - it just really shows the mindset of so many Canadians, who are not in the position to turn down a decent pay cheque!

I kid you not. It's just for the next couple months, but still. Christmas is just around the corner.  My wife is taking care of a dear friend thats at the end of life. Bad timing for business but it's something thats important to her. 

No kidding, right? And without having to break a sweat. The other day I offered one of them $100 to come with me for an hour, mix a bag of sandmix in a wheelbarrow, shovel it into three 5 gallon pails and hook it on a rope so I could pull it up to the roof to do a chimney repair. I guess rinsing stuff off with the hose was the deal breaker.  I was able to recruit my youngest daughter today so I feel slightly better. Atleast my money stays in the family. lol
