"Turning the defunct Kinghorn CN line into a four-seasons trail would go a long way toward boosting snowmobiling in the area, the region’s snowmobiling association says.
This year, Thunder Bay Adventure Trails spokesman Lloyd Chaykowski said Thursday, 125 trail permits have been sold. That’s about on par with last year, and another marked drop from the 1990s, when more than 1,000 permits would regularly move each season.
“We’d like to see a few more sold,” Chaykowski said. “We’re sort of hoping a few more snowfalls in January will help us out a lot.
“It’s like anything else. Certainly the economy (contributes),” he said.
“We’re one club of 17 in what we call the North of Superior Snowmobile Association. Clubs like Nipigon and further east are suffering."
