Where to Buy your Permit:

The GSC supports the "Buy Where You Ride" philosophy. When you don't take the time to Buy Where You Ride, the money you invest in a Trail Permit does little to improve the trails you ride most often. Why? Because most of the revenue from your Permit goes directly to the selling club. That's why it's so important to buy your Permit where your track usually hits the snow.

You can purchase a trail permit from the GSC in one of 3 ways:

  • Visit one of the permit distributors listed below
  • Use the online form and submit your request over the Internet or print the form and mail or fax it to the club
  • Phone the club locally at 905-983-5099 or Toll Free at 1-866-983-5099
