It’s Provincial Snowmobile Safety Week and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) is reminding snowmobilers to always go online to consult the Interactive Snowmobile Trail Guide (ITG) before riding. Introduced in 2010, the proprietary ITG is well established as the sole authorized source for the status of 30,000 kilometres of OFSC Snowmobile Trails.
While the region saw major snowfall over the past several days, some trails are still unavailable. Available Trails are coloured GREEN, meaning that the identified route(s) is accessible with the understanding that the trail will likely vary considerably in quality, attributes and terrain over its length and that snowmobilers enter exercising care and caution at all times.
Limited Availability Trails are coloured YELLOW, meaning that the identified route(s) is limited with marginal riding opportunities, so snowmobilers enter with the understanding that they should exercise extreme care and caution while reducing speed.
Unavailable Trails are coloured RED meaning that the identified route is not available at this time, access is prohibited and anyone entering the property may be trespassing, so snowmobilers must not enter under any circumstances.
And while we have had a few days of cold temperatures the OFSC also urges snowmobilers to exercise caution on ice and follow the Interactive Snowmobile Trail Guide
