Snowmobilers are reminded to only ride available trails and always practice responsible riding habits this winter season
(Barrie, ON, January 13, 2025) – The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC), the non-profit, volunteer-driven association that oversees organized snowmobile trails in Ontario, is advising snowmobilers to remain patient as snowmobile clubs and their dedicated volunteers are actively working to prepare as many OFSC trails as possible for riding in the near future.
For International Snowmobile Safety Week (January 11-19), the OFSC reminds snowmobilers to only ride Available or Limited Availability OFSC trails and avoid riding Unavailable trails at any time during the winter. Snowmobilers can easily find out where there are Available trails to ride by checking Trail Status 24/7 on the OFSC Interactive Trail Guide (ITG) or on the OFSC Go Snowmobiling App. Trail Status shows on the ITG as:
- GREEN for Available: The identified route is accessible with the understanding that the trail will likely vary considerably in quality, attributes and terrain over its length.
- YELLOW for Limited Availability: Access to the identified route is limited with marginal riding opportunities, so snowmobilers enter with the understanding that they should ride with extreme care and reduced speed.
- RED for Unavailable: The identified route is not available at this time, with access prohibited, and entering any Unavailable trail on private property is trespassing.
