its really doubtful its going to happen guys, I don't have a lot of faith in the SRD guys opening up the gates.......

might be better off to go west? or North?

 

[Summitric]

HI All

We have received the notification that the MINISTIK GATES will be opened for the morning of January 11, 2017

Also we are reminded that the only 3 legal spots to enter MINISTIK are at Access Gates:

• #2 – at TWP504a and RR215 – West Parking Lot
  
• #33 – at TWP 510 and RR213 – North Parking Lot
  
• #22 – at TWP 502 and RR210 – East access – not much parking on the road allowance - Spillstead Hall

CAUTIONS:

• Please do not make new trails… our Stewartship for Ministik trails mandates we stay on the designated trail system and not create any new trails. All new trails will be closed down.
  
• ICE HEAVES as in the attachment are up to 3’ & 4’ high on the lakes so if you hit one you will get hurt for sure.. Always drive across the lake then turn around and ride back on your old track so as not to hit a blind ice heave in the snow.
  
• Low snow means shore line rocks will still be exposed and a problem - so access on and off lakes at a slow speed so as to miss the rocks
  
• We will try to have the parking lots cleaned for this weekend
  
• When we get a foot or so of snow we will bring the groomer out and groom the trails – but have fun riding the trail system till then
  
• This is an Alberta Snowmobile Association Trail and 50% of your ASA Trail Pass does go back to the clubs to pay for the trail Maintenance and grooming of the Ministik Trails If you do not have a trail pass you can buy one at any dealer in Edmonton, Leduc, Wetaskiwin and Camrose. For a club membership fill out the foam attached or call Brian at 780-990-9339
  

Looks like we finally have enough snow to start our season and will email you with all upcoming events such as

• January 14 and 15 – Join along for guided tour of Ministik with the Trail Maintenance crew as we open the trails up, meeting in Parking Lot #2 West at 10:00am – Call Brian 780-990-9339
  
• January 22- Santas Toy Ride – starts at Hay Lakes –
  
• ASA Jamboree Feb 14-16 -

Any further questions please call Brian at 780-990-9339

Where in Sherwood Park can you pick up a trail pass? Never made it out to the sled show to get one this year

 

[slededjr]

Make sure you're registered and insured. Cops love showing up and giving tickets.

Think they will ticket my 4 year old on his 120 for no registration and insurance?

I can't speak for sledding, but out at Bruderhiem with my 7 year old on his 50cc dirtbike. The cops have never given us issues, I have all my paper, we are all geared up. Most times they say they are glad to see young kids getting involved in the sport. You are technically supposed to be registered though.

 

[tiger666]

I wouldnt take the chance,It would ruin the day.Im putting insurance on the boys sled today.

no fines below 60CC as they are not required to be registered.

 

[armascott]

I've been told twice that you are supposed to have insurance and registration on all OHV including 50cc. Oh well leave it for another thread lol. Have fun riding.

 

[johnsmithnf]

yeah I have all paper work, but bought his 120 used and previous owner never registered because it was only driven on private land for his grandkids. Only be riding it just off the parking lot. But I'll gladly take the ticket if they want to issue it.

 

[Sledderglen]

Glad to hear it is going to open. There was a time government never really followed the rules. Rules seem to only apply to snowmobiles. Horse guys get no rules applied to them.
Good riding guys have fun and watch for rocks on the lake edges
