Alberta Beach trails

[Sledderglen]

What`s going on with their trail?

 

[Bogger]

Our system is intact, however we are dealing with an anti-snowmobile council. We have had a 300m portion of our trail closed, without notice or democratic process, which connected our trail to the lake beside a lake village, this caused everyone to detour with their machines down the main street of the village. surveys have been done and the conclusion has been the same, re-open the trail however they are doing everything in their power to stall the inevitable, one resident and one councillor can cause a mountain of headache for the masses.

Luckily we do have a vast area of undeveloped SRD land up by Stanger hills devoid of any residence which we can use to continue our growth.

Said resident need to be re-located? Said Councillor need to be reminded about votes?

said councillor doesn't seem to care about votes.

Resident has been known to be a snowmobiler, ATV rider, and avid boater, but for whatever reason he's got a real issue with a GROOMED controlled trail running behind his place, after Many many years of it being there. He should sell the place cheap and move to Downtown Edmonton.

Better yet the said neighbor has a fairly busy boat launch on the front side of his house. Sledders using the trail lasts about 8-10 weeks if we have snow and good weather. Boats launching last 18-22 weeks. So he lives 25' from the water front and complains about recreational users of all sorts. Kinda like buying a house by a fire hall and complaining about sirens!! Also This council needs to be removed. There arrogance is unreal. We will see what happens on dec 15 with the new county office all the voters are fighting.

Maybe it's time to do a Freedom Of Information peak into their expenses. We have seen small town council after small town council shamed in this province over the last few years, when expenses were looked into.

To me, sure sounds like something funny going on.

Anyone from the club approach said neighbour directly and find out what the issue is and educate him?

He's a "good friend" of the club, he's been approached, won't answer his door etc.

Drew562 has chatted with him as they are neighbours.......

he's a unique individual.

right now its just 1 section at "M" on the Trail Map, near Lake Isle.

Who knows what that could expand to in the future.

Whoever is in Robert Kohns riding, vote the douche bag sledder hater out........ Interesting fact, he too used to be an avid snowmobiler.

 

[Alberta Beach Doo]

Let's buy him out with "persuasion" and use the house for a Alberta Beach Snowmobile Club House. We can store the groomer there.

I'm happy to say the long fight for our little trail has come to an end. The trail is open again. Thanks to all who called, emailed and supports the clubs.

Glad to hear. Goes to show that maybe snowmobiling does have a future with organized trails. Good work

 

[Puba]

Good work / job great to hear there was / is a resolve.

 

[kawasakikx250]

[TylerG]

According to our agreement with the county we cannot open the trails until December 1.

Silly question... How does one go about riding on another clubs trails? I live in morinville and am getting back into sledding. I usually just ditch bang or go wherever, but how would I be able to obtain permission to use say your trails?

You only need an Alberta Snowmobile Association membership for access to all trails in the province. Except for one area. I forget which one, but they don't honor the ASA membership.

Hey guys I'm going to be getting my ASA passes this week and want to hit the trail system next weekend! I've never been to Alberta Beach before, where do I find the staging area? Are the trails pretty well marked?

Thanks
