SNOWMOBILE TRAILS ARE NOW CLOSED!
Date of Trails Closing: March 15, 2012
Snowmobilers are being warned to stay off of OFSC Prescribed snowmobile trails effective immediately. These trails are now either closed or in the process of closing. Timmins club have stopped regular grooming operations. Signs and stakes are being removed and gates and fences closed. Snowmobilers are advised that rapidly deteriorating snow and ice conditions now make snowmobiling extremely hazardous anywhere. Roads and road crossings are now generally bare and the ice on all waterways is melted, melting or unstable.
“The only safe and sensible course of action for snowmobilers is to put away their sleds until next winter,” stated Gilbert Fortin. “The risks of trying that ‘one last ride’ are simply too high now that spring thaw has commenced.”
The public is also reminded that a closed OFSC snowmobile trail on private land means that access to that trail is also closed to any other users (motor bikes, 4 wheelers with or with out tracks, 4X4 OFF ROAD TRUCKS etc…) or persons for all other seasons, without the specific prior permission of the landowner. “On behalf of our clubs and volunteers, I want to thank all of the landowners who have generously allowed the use of their property for an OFSC snowmobile trail this winter,” concluded Mr Gilbert Fortin. “We also appreciate the support of the many snowmobilers who bought trail permits to help pay their share of the cost of trail operations for the 20011/12 season which lasted for 10 wonderful weeks.”
A very special thanks is also extended to all of the club volunteers who donated their services to assist local clubs in providing a successful season of snowmobiling. Although the winter is over, snowmobiling has become a year round business, so many volunteers will start immediately to plan and prepare for next winter. If you are interested in helping out, please call club president Gilbert Fortin at 268-0049 or vice president Raymond Corbeil at 268-7389.
