We know you must be eager to hit the trails but they are not open just yet. So we ask you to please bear with us. Please do not ride the trails until they are officially opened. We need the cold to get into the ground and a certain amount of snow for the groomers to get started. Also, waterways are not frozen solid to a safe degree yet. So please stay safe and stay of the trails - you and everybody else will benefit from your patience. Thank you very much.
Wishing you all a Happy and safe Holiday Season and all the best in 2010
The board and volunteers of the South Shore Restoule Snowmobile Club

2009 / 10 Season
Hi everyone
It's been a while since we have seen snow and too long since we all had to park our machines in the garage for the summer. Now winter is just around the corner and with that we all get anxious for fun in the snow.
2009 / 10 trail permits are now available and we invite you to visit our web site at snowmobileheaven.ca to order yours. The web site will also give some tips on how to get ready for the season so you can start enjoying it as soon as trails open and without any problems.
And here is an idea: get a season permit for a loved one - it makes the perfect Christmas gift.
We will keep you posted on trail conditions, events and more throughout the winter. So why not go ahead and bookmark this blog or the web site for quick and easy access?
Happy Trails

OFSC report strong permit sales for the season
Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs
News Release
********************
Barrie - As the Go Snowmobiling Campaign wraps up its second winter, the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs is pleased to report strong results, with increased permit sales, positive sled sales, encouraging feedback from the tourism sector, and many first time snowmobilers on the trails. Consequently, plans are already underway for Go Snowmobiling 2009/10, including a new direction for showcasing this important lifestyle campaign.
The new approach takes into account the impact of the economic downturn on our industry and is based on careful analysis of better ways for the OFSC to work with its many partners through these tough times. This past season, the OFSC tested a small Go Snowmobiling presence at non-traditional shows, including the Fall Cottage Life Show and the Toronto Motorcycle Show. Shows like these put Go Snowmobiling front and centre with thousands of qualified, potential snowmobilers who are already committed outdoors and powersports enthusiasts. With all of these factors in mind, the OFSC has decided to focus on expanding other showcase opportunities as part of the 2009/10 Go Snowmobiling Campaign and will not be hosting its own stand alone show this fall.
“Our primary Go Snowmobiling goal from the outset was and continues to be to introduce as many new people as possible to this great family recreation activity,” said OFSC Executive Director Paul Shaughnessy. “As responsible leaders, we believe it will be more productive and cost effective for both organized snowmobiling and our industry to take Go Snowmobiling to other shows where our target audience already exists in large numbers.”
The OFSC wishes to thank Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski-Doo (BRP), Yamaha, Canadian National Sportsmen’s Shows (CNSS), OTMPC, OFSC districts, and all other exhibitors for their support of the OFSC Go Snowmobiling Show. As OFSC President Bruce Robinson commented: “In partnership with CNSS, we produced a very professional, classy event that highlighted everything the OFSC has to offer and we are very proud that our show served our Go Snowmobiling goals for two years. Now, with the continuing support of our districts, the four OEM’s, and many other industry stakeholders, it’s time mfor our Go Snowmobiling Campaign to take this new direction.”
The OFSC Go Snowmobiling Campaign is targeted to increase participation in recreational snowmobiling and help grow the industry by promoting the snowmobiling lifestyle. The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs is dedicated to providing strong leadership and support to member clubs and volunteers, to establishing and maintaining quality snowmobile trails which are used in a safe and environmentally responsible manner, and to furthering the enjoyment of organized snowmobiling.
