So is anyone up for planning a trip into Canada? Has the forum ever made this trip before?
I was told if you drive across you only need your drivers licence!

As of this year you NEED a passport.

Passports are not needed for this Winter. It has been delayed until at least next summer.

All you need to get into canada is a toque and a bottle of maple syrup. Let me know if you guys come up to southern Ontario, I'll show you around.

Oh and for the record, it's spelled 'eh' not 'A'.

I know for sure that to "drive" from Cananda to the US right now you only need at least 2 pieces of I.D. Not sure if it's the same to go from US to Canada. To fly either way you must have a Passport.
If you're driving across hauling your sleds I'll bet you need to make sure you have all the registration papers in order for the sleds as well.

It's not compulsory to insure your sleds in Canada but they must be registered. You may not need insurance.

Is insurance required in the US? A quick phone call to Canada Customs or a visit to the website could eliminate the guess-work.

It would suck to drive a couple hundred miles just to get to the border and find out you haven't got all your $h!t together.

You NEED insurance to ride OFSC trails.
