Man, I would not want to be one of those idiots when they get caught in the act, and the good lord willing, they will!!!

Rode Gorman on Sat and the Lady at the trail pass booth told us about Silent. The Golden Snowmobile Club is going to start keeping people at the booths all day now instead of leaving around noon. I think they should move the ticket booths to the staging areas and maybe have two people on site. One selling passes, the other patrolling the parking area. They better do something before people quit supporting these areas.

I wrote an email to the club and let them know I canceled all plans on going there till the problem is cleared up............. I have better thing to do than support hoodlums crack habbits.

That was a good Idea, maybe contacting the hotels too would help.

contact the chamber of commerce in Golden.

Hello, Curtis
Thank you for your email and we are as frustrated about the situation as you are and we have put together some ideas to resolve the issue. We had a trail society meeting last night and we have extended the gate attendent hours at Quartz Creek, Gorman and Silent Pass. We will be informing all the riders about the extended times especially over the weekends and holidays. Quartz Creek can be easily monitored by our collection person, Gorman Lake we will be making regular trips to the parking lot, as far as Silent Pass goes we are really financially and staff wise uncapable of monitoring the parking area, but we are working with the RCMP and hopefully we can find some person to monitor and collect at the parking lot of Silent Pass. Need a shed and we have issues with Forestry etc.

We are very sorry to hear this but please give our community a chance as we are all doing our best to resolve this ASAP. Please feel free to call if you have any further questions.
Thank you
Mike
PS: please forward any further questions or concerns to the Golden Trail Society website

Hello Curtis,

Thank you for your email and understandable apprehension about the safety of your equipment at our snowmobile area trailheads after these incidents. I have forwarded your email to the RCMP and to the Golden Snowmobile Grooming Society for them to respond to your concerns. I understand some security guidelines have been put into place to by the Golden Snowmobile Grooming Society, I hope these security guidelines will be enough for you to reconsider the change of snowmobile locations.

Sincerely,

I was at Silent on Friday. There were only 4 trucks there and three were broke in to. One was looted completely and the guys had left their wallets and the truck keys hidden in the truck and only rode with their fob. The thief found all the stuff and took the keys as well so these three riders were stuck 23 kms up a logging road. Fortunately we were still there when they got to the truck and found all this out so we gave them a ride down to Parson's store where they called a tow truck and the cops. One in our group got the window smashed out but they didn't take anything. Sucks tho, we won't be going back there until they get something done.

Nicely Done Curtis, way to get the ball in motion. Glad to see they actually took the time to respond to you're e-mail. Not that the responses will change anything but it does show that they are actually concerned with the issue.

 

[Lococoin]

so what are we going to do if this is still going on for our group ride in january?

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

I would encourage everyone to send an e-mail to the same people I did yesterday. The more that send the higher the chances that change will happen fast.
Please send an e-mail.
Thx

I'll send an email tonite from home. A bunch of our trucks/trailers being damaged would put a damper on things.

 

[geelak900]

E-mail sent, I will let you all know what I get for a reply.

 

[sumx54]

just sent my e-mail. I will post the reply if I get one.

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Thanks Guys, wee need to send even more e-mails...this is a no brainer. If you don't send an e-mail and you rig (ro a buddy) gets hit, ruins your sledding and costs you a bunch of money you'll be p*ssed.
Aslo consider that our group is riding there in Jan.
Please post if you have send an e-mail to Golden.

Much appreciated.

Cheerz.

I Have Said It Before I Would Pay An Extra 5 Bucks On Top Of My Trail Pass Just To Know That My Rig Is Safe. Just My 2 Cents
