W have considered buying in quebec. Due to work and where we live now, local riding is spotty at best and we really do not get oit from home at all these days. We take sled vacations now and quebec is close by. However I wqnt to support the OFSC trails.

If you are going to replace them use these rollers.     https://hitorquerollers.ca/

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)

Perhaps many more out of province folks buying there, for reason perhaps not known........lol.

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
