Twin Mountains Snowmobile Club was founded in 1974, and joined the OFSC in 1975. TMSC maintains approximately 140 kilometres of groomed trails in Peterborough County, just east of Bobcaygeon, Ontario.
Our trails connect to the Kawartha Lakes Snowmobile Club trails to the west, Buckhorn District Snowmobile Club trails to the east, and Haliburton County Snowmobile Association trails to the north.
TMSC’s clubhouse and groomer shed are located at 889 Bass Lake Road. This site allows for trail access and staging, and serves as an office, and a place for meetings and club events. Gates at the clubhouse are unlocked during the snowmobile season, and the clubhouse is open and heated when our trails are open.
TMSC currently operates one grooming unit and drag in order to provide riders with the smoothest trails possible.
Attention everyone
TMSC will be holding the first club meeting of the year Friday October 10 at 7pm

As everyone is well aware the OFSC is in a shortfall for revenue to maintain over 30,000km of trails
Clubs across the province were tasked with reducing the size of the trail network.
No club was immune to this and everyone had the same parameters to use in selecting which trails should go.
Here at TMSC we looked at the information we had available to us, and after discussion on how to accomplish this with minimal impact we feel what we've accomplished will improve our trails.
The trails we have removed are tmsc 450, 400a which had the quarry truck crossing, the one way loop on 435. A section of 470 which has become a constant expense due to washouts, 480 is right next to this trail and bypassed the problem areas. And a short section of 425 beyond Nichols Cove road.
We will continue to groom as usual once we have the snow, and our grooming equipment remains unchanged.
The unfortunate news is that MTO did not approve a trail permit fee increase which we do need in order to counter rising costs.
We do hope our riders will buy permits early this year and continue supporting our club, district 2 and the OFSC

A Message to Our Members & Riders
As we gear up for the season, you may have heard about two changes coming our way:
A possible 7% increase in OFSC permit rates
A small reduction in little-used, duplicate trails and high cost of operation trails. We've made some tough decisions at TMSC but in reality the impact is small and will actually improve what we offer our riders.
Here’s why this matters—and why it’s not all bad news.
Last year, the OFSC faced a big deficit. Costs for groomers, fuel, insurance, and maintenance keep climbing, while shorter sledding seasons mean fewer permits sold. Expenses are rising fast, revenue isn’t. Something had to give.
By trimming dead-end, duplicate and high maintenance trails we can focus energy where it counts: grooming and maintaining the trails you ride most.
And about that 7% permit increase: the average trail pass this year will be around $270. Compare that to:
A ski season pass at Blue Mountain: $1,100+
A golf membership: $2,000–$5,000+
A single-day ski lift ticket: $150+
One round of golf: $100+
Suddenly, snowmobiling still looks like Ontario’s best deal in outdoor adventure.
But here’s the biggest difference: skiing and golf are profit-driven businesses. Snowmobiling in Ontario is powered by volunteers—people who donate their time, energy, equipment, and often even their own money to keep 130 km of TMSC trails open, safe, and groomed.
When you buy your permit, you’re not just buying access—you’re fueling a community. Every dollar supports a network of volunteers and helps keep our sport alive.
If you’re frustrated about costs or cuts, there’s one powerful answer: get involved. Join us by:
1. Coming out to our club meetings
2. Coming out to a work day
3. Bringing your ideas forward
4. Helping us face rising costs and climate change together
This is our club. Our trails. Our community. And our 50-year legacy will only grow stronger if more of us step in.
So the real question isn’t “why did rates go up?”—
It’s "how can I help?"
