Trail Etiquette

That was you? Lets get 'im boys!!

Hey I'm a fast learner - I can do it without a beating…I think…

My favourite is when people pass a group of sledders doing 100 km per hour pepper the hell out of you with snow and stop for a break 1 km down the trail then do it again 5 mins latter.

So right!

Mine is when you are following a group that is doing 10km/hr and all over the trail, but will not look behind them to allow others to pass safely. Sometimes they do look back and just continue, then I am guilty for flying past and most likely spraying them with snow! but they knew I was there! I am guilty of a lot of mistakes and maybe not the best decisions but I always respect the back country and the volunteers that work so tirelessly to keep these areas open for us all!

1. Thanks to everyone that spends time grooming and cleaning up, or even shovelling some ungroomed trails, or helping any way they can.
2. sometimes the best thing to do is explain that the last sled must fire up if they hear someone coming so there is lights to see. That they should pull off for a break were they are in good vision while giving room to pass safely.
3. looking back and allowing faster traffic by is a must.
4 THE THING THAT MAKES ME MAD is once your on a single track that somebody has put in (or even the groomers) and your being a throttle jockey, burping it all the time. Get off the trail and do what ever you want but that trail some of us will ride in and out till the snow is gone.
5. If you spin your track on the trail, that lump you leave will soon become the next beg bump that you wish wasn't there.
