Below is the price over in QC.
First discount saw less purchased at a $125 in savings.
Second discount saw more purchased at a $100.00 in savings.
So around $36 mil so far in QC sales with reduced permit fees if my math is right.
I think the last ON permit numbers I saw were around 60,000 for Dec 1 at around somewhere between $244 & $214 per permit, so lets say $230 as an average, put that around $13.8mil here in ON.
$425 Annual trail permit (October 1 to October 31, 2025)
$450 Annual trail permit (November 1 to December 15, 2025)
$550 Annual trail permit (purchased after December 15, 2025)
Maybe, nobody will ever really know.
Reality is that it means either almost 4 thousand riders bought early ( less money on the snow ) - or 4000 riders felt looking out the window last year was enough for them to blow the dust off their sleds and go it again, 4000 new riders showed up, or a combination of all of the above.
It's not a success until it's a success
I believe it is due to discounted permit prices to the end of November. as prevente translates to pre-sale. The increase may be due to a good season last year.
