The trail under the Gray Crk Powerline was deactivated last year by either Teck/Cominco or Fortis BC (not sure who). Here's a few pics.

" taking deactivation to extremes" what's the mean???

Overdone, more than necessary, not required, not to Forestry/ guide lines.

eg. Water bar ditches are required to be approx 1' deep x 1' wide. You'll note the Razor is in one that is 3'deep x 7 ' across, and most (in a 3 mi stretch) are worse and occur approx. every 150 yds/meters.

Talk to your local Forestry office and find out who was contracted to do it then show Forestry your pics. Certain contractors around here have done the same thing and made roads completely unridable even on quad. :realmad:
You would think they'd leave them quad accessible to help keep us off the main line logging roads. Guessing there probably wasn't any consultation with ATVBC regarding them taking stewardship of this one?

Just one public session and couple weeks later, the damage was done:rant:

That's too bad, nice country out that way.
