EVERYONE COUNTS - EVERYONE MAKES A DIFFERENCE

"Powered by Permits" but "Driven by Volunteers"

Did you know? An army of dedicated club volunteers built the OFSC snowmobile trail system by connecting existing local networks. Many volunteers from urban areas join out of town clubs to enjoy the camaraderie of community involvement. Today, volunteers continue to ensure that local trails are properly opened, maintained, groomed, signed and closed. All OFSC Trail Wardens, STOP Officers and Driver Training Instructors are volunteers. All local snowmobile clubs rely on active volunteers to get the job done.
