Membership is $50 per year. There is no senior discount. For those who already belong to another BCSF club, it is only $10.
The trail network around Osprey, Link, and Chain Lakes is maintained by volunteers from the Osprey Snowheelers' Club, a member of the BC Snowmobile Federation. In addition to snowmobile users, the trails are also used by snowshoers and cross-country skiers. During the snow season, use by quads and trucks on unpacked snow makes major ruts and destroys the surface, making it unusable for all three primary user groups. PLEASE respect the primary users of these trails, and those that donate their time to maintain them, by not operating quads, SXS, or trucks on trails with 'unpacked" snow.
