Yeah, sorry, I just read that he said he bought it from a northern club - so I assumed he actually bought it from them like we used to do as well - in person. My bad.   Agreed there is little benefit at this point other than to tick the volunteer box - and bigger plus would be donating $ directly to the club. 

If you read on, it basically speaks to purchases from home but supporting a northern club. He like many sent a chequed and bought a permit from Dubreiville and they mailed it to him. Since online permits there is very little benefit if any at all as to what club is named.

I got a newbie this winter. Die hard winter guy. He's going to buy gear and ride my old skidoo (900 ace) for a few days this year. Then I sell him sled lol 😆 

100 percent.  No better feeling or rush than being on a sled.  A 270 tuned winder gives me the giggles and movement in places I won't discuss on here.  Once my kids are old enough to ride by themselves, I will get ones for them if they want.  It is nice to hop in the SxS and just go as well and not have to get all the snow suits on.
