NOTIFICATIONS:
As published by the OFSC, there are significant changes fo the upcoming season as follows:
1) OFSC received new funding from the PC government and BoG motioned province-wide trail reductions relative to current levels of permit revenue and increased costs are now reversed to original - groomer reductions are not reversed - regional grooming plans for the season are still in effect. BSR had no trail reductions therefore the trail system is unchanged.
3) BoG motioned grooming restictions to ensure grooming occurs in less than -3 celcius shift average temperatures conducive to proper trail setup. The details of temp management are being reviewed and will be published in the near future by the OFSC.
4) BoG motioned land owner permits for all trails - Some expire December 30 and we are working hard to get them re-signed before they expire.
