Inaugurated through the participation of Bombardier, a manufacturer, and four resort operators and two snowmobile dealers, it is possible to put now Snowmobilers have plenty of open territory here Area good for enthusiasts Snowmobilers in the Goderich area have a virtual paradise when it comes to open territory. There are several areas for enthusiasts to enjoy the sport around Goderich and even clubs catering, to the snowmobile fraternity. Hully Gully near Varna offers excellent facilities and will be staging poker rallies and some races during the season. They also offer group ac- tivities. The Benmiller For.esters stage their annual marathon during the last week of January in which riders raise money for the Cancer Society. The course generally covers a 50 mile track around the Benmiller area. Watch the° paper for further details about the marathon. Many Colborne residents have banded together to form their own snowmobile club and hold regular group ac- tivities and breakfasts over the Winter months as weather permits.

FRANK & GUS PIZZA 50 WEST ST. 524-2680 524-2689 together a complete snowmobile vacation package for people who don't own machines or equipment, but want to try out the sport. The six locations are widely spread around Ontario giving access to some of the best available snowmobile trails: Deerhurst Lodge in the Huntsville area, High- wayman Inn of Orillia, Wig-A-Mog at Minden, Red Bay Lodge in the Bruce Peninsula, Al Varney Marina at Bradford and Temagami Marine at Temagami. At the resorts, vacationers can rent machines, suits, helmets, boots and mitts for a snowmobile safari. Prices for rentals vary' slightly with the locations. Rentals only (not including room or meals) can range up to $80 per day for one machine, with suits and equipment nominally extra. A weekend sports package at the lodges brings the price down. The cost can be as low as $66 a day per person for room, meals, machine and equipment, up to about $105 a day. Because the major resorts work through travel agents, it is best to decide on location and then a firm price can be quickly established. Snowmobile package vacations have been a long time coming and the initial thrust is most welcome. However, the overall success or failure of the venture will depend, to a great degree on what emphasis each renting location places on the safety of the rider and how much instruction is given prior to turning a novice loose with a machine. Most locations promise a snowmobile safari with trail rides conducted by experienced snowmobilers, a must for safe machine usage. Each location also offers a winter sports activities package included in the price. At present, snowmobile rentals are ancillary to other winter sports ac- tivities, but within a few short years will become an end unto themselves. The major problems are price and the sophistication of modern machines. There's too much to go wrong and too much power available for inexperienced riders. Ultimately, however, a special rental machine without much of the complex equipment now considered standard, will .,be developed that will cost far less to produce and, thus, rent for con- siderably less money.
