Sure, I am talking a full no tort for any incident involving a recreational vehicle, be it landowner, clubs, volunteers, governing body, riders, etc.   Just like Quebec, but have it legislated for application in recreational trail use under the MSVA.   Permits - handled by OFSC - funds collected go to the trails Val Tag - increase it - funds go directly into a fund to fund that part of the system.   Move away from OAP altogether.   Have the recreational trail(s) etc. removed from the OLA - and put its own section/language under the MSVA. We already have the MSVA - it is now time to revisit it and revamp it. We need to re-think how we're doing business in today's landscape and look at the bigger picture and where it's headed in the future.   Status quo - but reducing trails is not sustainable. Time to think bigger - and push now - because you're only strength to push is your numbers and value it brings to the economy, as that shrinks, so does your bargaining power.   You're friends situation happens all the time. He has his own coverage for his injuries and can only sue for certain benefits. Make no mistake, the other riders insurer will Third Party in the club, the OFSC, and anyone that touched anything to do with anything that day.   Accidents happen, things happen, there is risk in what we do, so choose to accept the risk or don't is my view.                      

7 feet are best to tow. Depends on length of your sleds too. I think at that width you need 16 feet be minimum . I won't tow another 8.5 foot wide trailer. Most likely go 18 or 20 feet next time in length. 

Why cant all liability be put on the riders insurance? Why does the ofsc and landowners assume any liability? Why not a waiver included with purchase of a trail pass? If a rider is negligent, then sue them, no one else is responsible. Why cant the courts refuse to hear land owner or OFSC suits?? It's a dangerous activity. Know the risks before you ride. If I get launched off the trail into a tree it's on me is it not?? I dont feel like anyone, including my insurance company should pay for my recklessness.  I agree with insurance to protect from other peoples negligence, but other than that, own your shyte. If you got launched off the trail, then you were being a little to "sporty" for your skill level. Tuck your tail and own it. I'd be uninsurable if I made a claim every time I bruised my ego.  Judges should be able to levy all costs and throw folks that bring frivolous lawsuits in jail for wasting peoples time. Just a day or two in a drunk tank for good measure. lol  

I put bergstrom triple points with shims and ski savers on the polaris. They are surely better than what came with it. No complaints. I have never used snow trackers.

This makes total sense. I would even settle for a prohibition against suing the landowner. That would remove a major impediment to obtain land use permission.  As the operator of the trail, the OFSC and or clubs have a duty of care to riders accessing the trail. That duty of care is specified in the Occupiers Liability Act which basically says that for recreational trails the occupier cannot knowingly create a hazard. That should not be a very difficult bar to achieve.     the problem with trying to bar all legal action against the landowners and the OFSC is the legal community lobby group. You would be barring access to a major source of settlement cash as well as the enormous legal fees these suits generate.  As an alternative I would propose that if the plaintiff is unsuccessful in their claim, they and their lawyers would be liable for all costs incurred by the defendants.  This would curtail the bulk of the frivolous claims without impeding anyone’s right to pursue a claim.
