Just a idea here riders. Seeing as this is a popular thread and riding area lets do something to help the area. This year at the 2013 sled show why dont we all buy at least one Trail pass each to help this club out. All clubs need help but this club has a large area to maintain and service every year. Grooming expenses and trail work all need funding. You say you dont ride trails! Well you ride the area and the club has many KMs of trails designated in the Goose Tower area already. They just need some $$ to make access into this area safer and quicker from town. Just a idea from me to all you guys that ride this area every year. Time to help them out a bit with some of your $$$
Maybe not riding through planted cut blocks as well.............

x2 on that. im going up that way on tuesday...first chance ive gotten this year, and never been before. if i like the area i will buy a pass. i am deffiniatly a fan of supporting the organizations who maintain the areas i ride, and the trails i use to get to the pow.

this will be my first time riding up there, and am wondering if anyone more familiar, and who's been up there recently can recommend a nice clean hotel, and a safe place to stage as close to the good stuff as possible.

of course anyone who would like to join our small group of 3, or 4 is welcome. i would really like to meet more people to ride with.

the only issue I can foresee with a donation box or the like is people with sticky fingers helping themselves to it.

Maybe I'll have to tag along if there's no work when I get home.
