Purchase your access pass before you hit the trails Extra charges are payable when the annual trail permit is purchased on trails. Note that permits issued for antique sleds, as well as daily or weekly permits, cannot be purchased on trails.
Replacement of a trail pass It's possible to purchase a replacement trail pass for $20 preferably at the same club or dealer where you bought the initial trail pass. To get a replacement trail pass, you need the receipt and the sticker of the initial trail pass.
Transfer of a trail pass
A trail pass can't be transfered to another snowmobiler. It can only be transfered from one snowmobile to another owned by the same person (sale and aquisition of a new snowmobile for example).
