A valid trail permit is mandatory to ride on the FCMQ snowmobile trail network. Three different kinds of permits are available for the public plus a specific permit for snowmobiles used by rental companies (see permit prices section).
Trail permits are available from your local club representatives. You can also buy them at your snowmobile dealer and at many restaurants and lodging places situated near the trail network.
As you must know, most of the revenue from your permit goes directly to your club. So if you buy where you ride, your money improves the trails you ride most often.
The portion remitted to the FCMQ represents $21.00 per annual trail permit. From this sum $1.50 is transferred to Motoneige Québec magazine to help defray postage fees, $4.50 are allocated for a special aid fund for clubs and for a fund dedicated to the promotion and protection of snowmobiling, and 10$ goes in a fund dedicated to trail grooming. The remaining $5 dollars are for the financing of current operations of the Federation.
