SUDBURY TRAIL PLAN ASSOCIATION
Snowmobile Trail Permits
Available |
|
“Winter is just a
few short weeks away so we encourage all snowmobilers to get their
snowmobile trail permit early and save some money at the same
time” newly elected STP President Gilles Tessier announced today.
The Sudbury Trail Plan Association advises the 2006/2007 MTO full
season snowmobile trail permit is now available for sale. Permits
may be obtained from any one of the 8 local STP member clubs, or
through a number of businesses including local dealers. Riders who
have previously purchased their previous season trail permit through
Sudbury Trail Plan should look for a renewal application form in the
latest issue of the STP / PSSD joint publication “Northern Sno
Trails.”
Full season trail
permit prices for 2006/2007 are $180 if purchased on or before
December 1st, 2006 and $230 if purchased after December 1st.
Trail Permits allow riders access to the 45,000km of trails
maintained by over 250 member OFSC clubs. The purchase of a trail
permit from Sudbury Trail Plan also includes a subscription to
Northern Sno Trails and Ontario Snowmobiler Magazine. Purchase your
trail permit before Nov. 1st, and you could win 1 of 3
gas cards worth $1500.00, $1000.00 or $500.00.
“With the French
River Bridges in place as well as a number of other changes in the
system, snowmobile riders are going to want to make sure they can
access our northern trails this season” Tessier adds.

Get Ready for Snowmobiling Week |
|
The
Sudbury Trail Plan Association (STP) announced that the Ontario
Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) has designated the week of
November 25th thru December 1st 2006 as “Get Ready for
Snowmobiling Week”.
“With
the start of the upcoming snowmobile season only a few short weeks
away, snowmobilers are reminded that now is the time to perform
pre-season inspections and make any necessary repairs to their
snowmobiles, trailers, and associated equipment,” reports STP
President Gilles Tessier. “Time spent now will only increase the
enjoyment of their winter excursions and ensure maximum safety for
themselves and others”.
Recommendations
made by OFSC and STP also include checking snowmobile registrations
and insurance policies to ensure they are current.
Clothing and safety equipment should be inspected and
replaced as necessary to ensure proper operation.
“Snowmobiling is an off-road activity and as such riders
need to recognize and be prepared for any associated risks they may
encounter through riding choices they have made,” states Tessier.
While
riders are preparing their equipment, over 6000 volunteers
representing 240 clubs province wide are busy preparing trails.
Locally, riders can utilize any of the 1,200 km of local trails
maintained by the STP and its eight member clubs as well as the
41,000 km of OFSC Prescribed Trails by purchasing and displaying on
their sled a 2006 – 2007 Snowmobile Trail Permit.
“Snowmobile
Trail Permits are the most significant source of revenue for
snowmobile clubs each season,” states Tessier. “Each permit sold
allows us to groom trails more frequently thus making the overall
riding experience more enjoyable and potentially safer”.
Permits also identify that only authorized snowmobilers are
legally utilizing the land so generously provided to OFSC member
clubs by over 15,000 landowners.
Trail
Permits are available through the local snowmobile clubs and at over
25 authorized permit outlets throughout the City of Greater Sudbury.
Buyers can save $50 by purchasing their Trail Permit on or before
December 1st at the same pre-season price of $180 offered
last year.
