The problem is that sledding is too easy now. Any moron can do it.

No credit, no problem. Live in Alberta? got a job? no problem getting a big diesel and a couple sleds, grab a pair of white sunglasses too.

I live in alberta and hate seeing these guys. cant imagine how the guys that live in BC feel.

They're not all bad, but the ones that are you can spot a mile away.

well first of all no one said it was red and white plates, I've seen my local Kootenay buddies do way worse **** than park in the middle of the staging area. He might have blocked the road on purpose.......

Sorry guys, but i think its funny and I don't see how you can be mad about it. There was a thread started on here a couple weeks ago about all the great riding in Little Sand, now there is a thread about some guy blocking the road. When these areas get openly advertised, people are gonna read about it and then show up to check it out, without any more instruction than following the tire tracks ahead of them once they turn off the highway. There's more lurkers on the forums than there are members most of the time it seems. The more people that go, the more chance of something like this happening, and yes, the law of averages will apply that if 10 people show up, 1 or 2 of them are liable to be morons. I don't condone blocking a trailhead with a pickup, but think its funny this thread showed up. The snow looked good up there yesterday!

I have no recollection of my postings containing any of this "downright BS" that you so speak of. I sometimes can conjure up this eloquent posting manner, although it is easier to get down n dirty in the trenches. and many times more entertaining. My 3rd, grade 4 teacher, was an inspiration to me, telling me to go forth and learn. i tried but may have become lost along the way, seems i may have had the map upside down.

Has Ray got cream for that recollection problem? I seem to think that when you were in grade 4, you went forth and learned. You were out behind the barn and the piles of BS were absorbed rather quickly and spewed throughout these hallowed halls.

But we had better get back on topic or we will both be in doo-doo.

This isn't a case of just being mad, but a case of the lack of courtesy of IDIOTS. This guy was blocking a road...not just a trail head at a staging area. A road that quite often has a snow cat driven up it by the tenure holder. If people need instruction for common courtesy...then they probably shouldn't be there is the first place...just sayin'!! And yes, he had red and white plates :)

I had one guy who managed to get his truck 1/2k up a road that was not plowed, I was just wondering how long it took him to shovel his way back out on packed snow. Seems he was out gold mining. Just needed to dig through 6 feet of snow to get down to the gravel. He had been there for a week.
