    Alberta/BC back country land closures thread.

    You must be smoking some good stuff if you believe that. Most of the snowmobile closures were put in place years before the wolves became an issue. The Greenies claim our snowmobiles drive the Caribou out of the area, even those adjacent to where the sleds actually are, thereby putting stress...

    Alberta/BC back country land closures thread.

    We were told years ago when the BCSF tried to get support from the manufacturers that the mountain sled market is such a small percentage of their sales they didn't feel the need to be involved. Maybe with the growth in mountain riding those numbers might have changed enough for a different...

    Any carnage yet this year?

    Judging by the number of "wanted a-arms" ads locally there has been at least a half dozen in the Cranbrook area. I'll wait for some more snow before I venture out.

    Owls head snowmobile accident info

    What the hell does mandatory insurance have to do with it? You are making an assumption the guy left because he didn't have any? Lets try to focus on what's important here and that is finding the guy and learning why he left.

    Snowmobile insurance in BC

    It never ceases to amaze me how fast a thread on this site goes sideways. As stated in the original post this wasn't about whether or not to get insurance, it was questioning the legal requirement for it.

    Snowmobile insurance in BC

    That is their contention,(at least the way it was explained to me), however, even with liability insurance it doesn't say you can ride a plowed road. As always they leave everything ambiguous and open to interpretation.

    Snowmobile insurance in BC

    Here is the section in the Forest Service Roads Act dealing with snowmobiles. The first sentence says it all. Snowmobiles 3 (1) Despite the requirements of sections 2 (c) and 12, a person is not required to hold a subsisting driver's licence issued under the Motor Vehicle Act or a valid and...

    Land ownership along a border.

    Seeing as how a "border" is a definitive line, I would expect the legal property owner, be it private or public, would have right of use up to that line. IE: the Canada/US border has a wide swath cut the length of it so I would guess Canada would own one half and the US the other half.

    Federal caribou closures - Paradise Valley Snowmobile Association

    Actually they are all the same species, Caribou. The Mountain Caribou giving us all grieve is a sub-species, and yes, they are in danger of going extinct. This is a tragedy, but not the earth shattering tragedy they want the public to believe. It is 50 years to late to save all the herds...

    Wood Stove vs Pellet Stove

    No, it is only a secondary heat. Since we put it in the basement our gas bills are reduced enough that there is actually a savings at the end. We have a log house with 22 ft. open beam ceilings so a large area to heat.

    Wood Stove vs Pellet Stove

    We went with the pellet stove because of costs, it came in at less than half the price of a wood stove and chimney. Surprisingly enough the insurance was also less. If you figure the cost of wood (using the going rate to buy it) 5-6 cords of fir/larch comes in around 1300-1500 dollars. No...

    First Time Sled Deck-> What to look for?

    Re: First Time Sled Deck-> What to look for? Depending where you are using it with those track lengths you might want to check into regulations pertaining to over length loads. In BC any load over 1.3 meters (I think that's the right length), from the tail lights, requires a warning light...

    You got to be kidding????

    When you think about it, what better animal for mental health support. On those days when you reach the breaking point instead of freaking out just grab one and wring its neck. Relieve stress and get dinner all at once.
