i was speaking to one of the director/members of the Snowcrest Riders of Bracebridge today and with all the hooplah of permit sales in ontario i asked him about the permit sales this year. his answer was sales are down from 1625 permits to 1325 permits same time as last year. he has been selling tickets for years and said that he is sure with no snow on the ground there right now people are willing to gamble the $35.00 premium they will have to pay if it does snow.

that's a whopping 20% that permit sales have gone down :huh: at one club.

Well Paul,they got my money again this year :)
