  4. Great post and one that many are likely say "he is right!!" There is a lot of money spent on snowmibling in Canada each year, roughly $8 BILLION!, The economic impact of snowmobiling on the economy in Quebec is appriximately $2 BILLION per year. There is money goes back into snowmobiling in Quebec every year from tax dollars. There are many infrastructure projects that are cost shared with both provincial and federal dollars. A person can never loose sight of the fact that some of these huge bridges that are built throughout the province didn't get built solely on trail permit dollars. With enviromental regulations as they are today putting in a simple 18" diameter culvert for a cross drain on the trail can cost well over $1000. So are taxes being put back into snowmobiling? Yes, Every provincial snowmobile association/federation along with the National organization representing snowmobiling in Canada are working very hard as we speak trying to get a bigger piece of the yax dollar pie. Will more tax dollars be directed to snowmobiling? Yes. I believe there will be some some big annocements before March for snowmobiling in Canada. People buying permits are expecting more and more for there permit dollars every year, the sad thing is the number of volunteers to help do the work are dropping. It is hard to see big changes with this see saw effect. Just my thoughts
  5. I am not sure what they have on the ground right now, but there is a system going through in the next two days that should drop another foot in the Mt valin area.
  6. Perhaps they are the new trail wardens, no permit......
  7. The Quality Inn in Matane is a nice, inexpensive, snowmobile friendly, spot.
  8. For those that want to bicker back and forth on a message board, go to another one!
  9. I believe it is $42, not a lot, but all it costs is the price of a stamp.
  10. Regardless how far it is from each of us, it look pretty damn good to me for the 30th of October! Lets jus hope it doesn't melt and continues to accumulate!!

  16. Linda is correct on the new pricing. I was invited to the OFSC AGM on the weekend as a guest speaker and present the Queen Elizabeth ll Diamond Jubilee Awards to two of their members. It was a great event!! A great new idea to help drive permit sales.
