Cheers to a wonderful new season my friends. New to the Board of Directors I'm finding my way around, seeking ways I can help.
I really enjoy reaching out and sparking growth, and I believe so much in our Associations ability to make a difference.
I respect my BCSF Brothers and Sisters, and I feel that Both ABCSnow and BCSF will have a HUGE impact on the snowmobiling scene in British Columbia.
I wasn't around back in the day when there was animosity, but I can assure you, I believe that we all can work together to gain back lands, momentum, and reach out to create the most educated snowmobilers on the planet.

I'd like to hear from you. Pm me here, or email trish@abcsnow.ca to let me know your thoughts.

Do you need some oomph or pizazz in your club
Do you have sensitive land issues
Do you want to boost membership numbers and involvement
Do you have suggestions on how to create strength within our ABCSnow Association?


Your voice matters, Membership Matters.
My goal for this season is to grow our numbers, voice and presence so that the true face of today's rider is known. The educated proactive rider. The families of riders, and the efforts that we all make to secure our sport for generations to come.
I am one person.. but when we work together one becomes part of something awesome.

I was also not paying attention when all the animosity was happening either but what I do know is we need to get back together. It is harder to get things done with the government when we can't play nice with ourselves. We look silly, we NEED a united front. United we stand, divided we......let the caribou take over. Don't know the steps needed to accomplish this but we all know we need to be ONE strong voice.

Can someone tell us/me what happened to get us here?

the beauty of this situation now is we have 2 strong organizations and focus forward. Work with what we have and Rock it... That is what I say.

So much respect for everyone who is working to make a difference. I have super high hopes that the voice of Snowmobilers will be heard in 2014.

My goal is to work hard with everyone who is working towards the longevity of our sport.
I'm a pretty up beat and positive person, and live and breathe snowmobiling. I feel that if we have a clear focus on what matters, which is our sport, our people, our safety, our education Everyone will win. In the event that we remain 2 organizations, it's all good. We can work with that. Interdependence growing the sport, our voice and our power. Our Our Our is what everyone has to understand.
Past is the Past and moving forward with respect, dignity and passion. We have good peeps on our board of directors, we have phenomenal clubs, I know BCSF has the same. First hand experience and good talks tells me we are on the hub of something great.
to infinity... and beyonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.. our 2014 season will be kick arse!

I won't get into specifics about the cause for the split but I highly doubt there is any chance of the two organizations ever amalgamating. The only way that could happen is if one group of leaders stepped back and let the remainder lead us forward unhindered. Just can't see that happening. jmho

It would be better with one voice to the provincial government. other provinces tried it along time ago with more than one association
Didn't work so they went back to one. Ontario and Quebec to name the big players. look what they have and their power in Government. Sugar and stardust only goes so far when dealing with the government.

When life gives you Lemons.... Make Margaritas baby........... The cool thing is that both ABCSnow and BCSF have some unique ways of doing things, that we can both learn from. We can learn from each other, work together, and create a super force to be reckoned with.
It will be good! Awesome peeps are getting involved, and truly have hope for a new beginning.

No way..


2 voices saying things, is way better than one.... Even if the one is bigger...


Unfortunately from what I heard is the abc leader needs to step back or down and let others do work...

Pretty hard to do anything in Mexico

sent while I should be drinking tea's
