I would hope the nominal difference between the early bird and full season would not be a detractor. We're talking a case of beer here.  

Looks like Marathon won the fight.  White River to Marathon and the spur north to Manitouwadge will be open this year.  Closed from Dubreuville to White River.  They are talking about offering a shuttle.  Not ideal, but best case for them.  Will keep the locals engaged.  The timing isn’t great.  How many local folks won’t buy because they skipped the early bird.  

Same, never have and never will. Would be the same for anyone I'm riding with. Using this "data" to make decisions is ridiculous.    

I've never used it and have no intention of using it. I think there are a lot of riders that share that thinking. That said for those that do, please ride the less travelled trails when you can this season.

Kinda seals/confirms it. OFSC are using garbage data to make decisions.
