EXPECTATIONS FROM THE OPERATOR AS TO THE USE OF OFSC PRESCRIBED TRAILS
Snowmobiling is an inherently risky off-road activity that occurs in an unpredictable natural environment. Prior to entering onto an OFSC Prescribed Trail, every
snowmobiler must be familiar with the "Expectations for OFSC Prescribed Trail Use" as follows:
1. All snowmobiles will be operated under a lawful trail use permit;
2. All operators and passengers willingly use the trails at their own risk;
3. Operators and passengers know and will obey all applicable laws,
including, The Occupiers’ Liability Act, The Motorized Snow
Vehicles Act and the Trespass to Property Act;
4. Snowmobile trails are not an engineered product, it is recognized
and accepted that snowmobiling is essentially an off-road activity
taking place in the natural environment;
5. The operator understands that OFSC member clubs are volunteerbased organizations with finite resources and manpower;
6. It is not practical, possible or desirable to maintain all trails uniformly
or to remove all potential hazards;
7. Weather conditions affect trails, snowmobile operation and operator visibility and
they may change without warning;
8. The maximum legislated speed on trails is 50 km/h unless reduced by law and/or
subject to conditions including weather, operator competency and terrain;
9. Operators will stay to the right of the trail notwithstanding that there are no centre
lines and operate their snowmobiles with care and control as there may be other
users on the trail including non-snowmobilers and trail grooming equipment;
10. Operators and passengers are aware that there are generally no legal
requirements for signage on trails and, when provided, it is only for assistance and
convenience;
11. The privilege of trail access is provided without any guarantee of service or quality,
grooming and maintenance of trails, when provided, is meant solely to enhance the
comfort and enjoyment of the safe and prudent operators and passengers.
