We the permit buyers got screwed in the Kirkfield, Brechin, Lake Dalrymple area last winter when the OFSC decided the Carden Sno Drifters were not in good standing.
If OFSC wants or cares to keep trails on the east side of Lake Simcoe they should get their heads out of their asses and help find a solution! Because 2 years in a row will be devastating to the area and permit buyers.
There is a group who have been working hard jumping through hoops to make it happen but not sure on status.
And almost all of Carden trails were on township road accesses and there was signed letters of permission in place from townships.
Also note I hear Beaverton trails might be reduced or gone!
I was considering buying a second permit for the cause.
If everyone who thinks permits are cheap buys an extra permit that would help put more $$$ on the snow and might also show a greater number of permits for lobbying for increased government funding.
Although that would have to be a widespread belief across the province by many riders to have the desired impact.
Right now my local trails or club do not even make the club drop down list.
