Again, I bet you would have a lot of guys lined up to teach and with activities taking place in different seasons would spread it out. I never said it was perfect, just a thought. Your idea is a good one as well.
I just agree with original post, something has to change, I thought about it when...
Some great points all around. In my original post, I guess I wasn't clear, the suggestion brought to me was for ALL backcountry users, a basic survival course, no course, you pay.
Like Doug said, we already pay for ambulance service.
This is a sport that will not last. To many couch riders judging "thrill seekers" will bring regulation.
nope it will not, to bad a lot of the "thrill seekers" don't have the skill, to seek the thrill, they desire
also I was referring to ALL persons accessing the back country, not just sledders.
Even taking a course on how to survive and what essential items to pack would help. Sometimes a little spark is all it takes for people to realize how unprepared they are and want to learn more.
Yes you are right, never going to be the ' magic' solution but do you not agree something needs to...
Well, as you have read, this is a touchy subject, but I agree to some extent.....
I am heavily involved in the Revelstoke Snowmobile club and spend a lot of my time running the snowpatrol program here, and still can not believe how many groups of riders I encounter every day without even a...
When 'I can't wait to get to the cabin' brain kicks in! 3points of contact is important! Imagine if this was on the highway!
Photo--Powder Puff, she knows when you have been bad or good..... So be good, simple
y-who, the idea behind this post is it would be nice if BC like Eastern Canada had a season pass that covers the all of BC for sledding.
Buy a weekly pass for those that get out once or twice,,, and yearly for those that like too rock and roll the season all year.
Only a thought as its up to...
Would be a good plan, but..... There is a lot more to just running a groomer up there once a month. First you need approval from government, then the club would need to buy a semi and a low bed to haul it, then a booth and someone there to collect fees to cover all the costs, oh and parking...
There are mountains all around me. They dominate the sky.... I peer upwards in search of some guidance, a message. These mountains make me feel so alive. And they do it to everyone who lives amidst their timeless mass. Those who visit take the power from the mountains with them and draw from it...
Those decisions are made by higher ups, but yes not looking good...
As I posted earlier, the helicopter has two different units hanging under it, one that can detect Avy beacons and the RECCO one that can also pick up metals. More people as you can imagine would not be good, as well the Avy...
The two guys on Frisby were brought back to their buddies at the cabin last night, they were stuck but did lots of things right.
boulder and Frisby will be closed because the helicopter will fly with two devices, one that can pick up beacons and the Recco unit, it can detect most metals and we...
Go anywhere and flap your gums, not just here is what I was saying if you need clarification. Been that way since I was a kid.
and no I don't, but if I find myself in any town, including both of yours, flapping my gums I would bet I would get similar treatment.
Two sides to every story and big surprise it started with booze at the bar. Come here, go sledding, have dinner head to bed to ride again, no problem. Come here with the I am so cool look at my white Oakleys attitude, kind of ride during the day but probably start drinking early on the hill, hit...
