And next month we'll be facing fire evacuations. lol

Why worry, Bombardier has the Federal Government of Canada for a bank. They'll never call in a loan and will always have more money for them.

It's not like you will be buying gas in BC anyway, there will be waiting times at the gas stations in the Pass.

Seeing as how the only lobby group anyone is aware of fighting these closures is the BCSF, then maybe Donegal could tell us if they are actually receiving a penny direct from the big 4. Otherwise I say it's time they stepped up and showed us who they support that is fighting for WESTERN Canada...

Here's a thought. I wonder if everybody cancelled or didn't order new sleds, making sure the manufacturers knew the reason was because of fears the closures would severely limit riding areas, would that be enough to get them off their wallets to help the BCSF? Not that this would ever happen...

They haven't even raised enough to cover what they spent on the latest survey. Looks like the BCSF is going to be in trouble again.

Would there be an option for Snowandmud both sides ? Being from BC wouldn't necessarily want the Alberta OHV logo.

Ever think maybe he is having the same thoughts? You are assuming you are the better rider to begin with, as said before you need to get answers before you jump into a truck with someone you might not even be able to stand for the drive.

I think cost is one of the main reasons for declining sales, but equally at fault is the age demographics. I see less families riding and equate this to less young people buying new sleds as they get out on their own. The lackluster economy our politicians have thrust us into doesn't help...

Completed, but is a waste of time if you aren't a snowmobile tourist.

You are correct. It could have been handled better with some notification to the FSA. However, not knowing the who,what, when about this lets not go hanging Canfor out to dry. Who actually plowed the road? Canfor or a contractor? What was the original plan for this area? It was obviously...

So if the closure is not even in a clubs management agreement they can get a permit and force people to join their club to ride there?

It sounds like the permit holder is required to belong to the club that is overseeing the area. In our area the only closure affected is outside of the only clubs area, how fair is it to force people to join a club where they don't go just to be able to ride in their area? Confusing, I know, but...

Does this permit cover specific locations or is it good for multiple closures?

-32 here outside Cranbrook. +21 in my house where I'll be staying.

I think it is a huge mistake opening any door that starts us negotiating for riding areas. Where will it stop? This smells far too much like a membership drive by the BCSF. How does that membership make anybody more responsible? Watch for the next thing being mandatory certification courses...

I doubt that the decision to start now was made more than a week ago. They are just taking advantage of a lower than usual snowpack. In a normal year it would be cost prohibitive to move enough snow for road building this time of year. Normally we see them start this activity in April not February.

When has a thread on here ever stayed on topic? Surprised to see it last as long as it did.

Check with the regulations for over length requirements wherever you will be hauling it first. For sure in BC you need a light on anything more than 1.3 meters from the taillight. Don't know if you would be long enough to be getting into permit requirements, remember BC laws can be stupid.

I would be willing to bet the conversation went more like this. " It's too hard to double out of here, we'll just send SAR back for you".
