Looks like good snow guys. BUT could you maybe run over less of those planted trees. Forestry companies pay big dollars for those to be replanted and would not be happy to seen them damaged like this. Forestry companies have a big say on what happens in their Forest Managment Area (FMA)and the future of random riding could be threatened in a new way here. Hey don`t get me wrong. I`m not against random riding just try to be a little more respectfull of whats out there and who might have a interest in it.

Not to get you going but to educate all riders. Not to pick on you but BC has the same issue. Going up to lucille your asked to stay on trail and off logged/replanted area. reason is as you run over tree the tree gets bent or damaged but lives on. Here is the problem. Tree is now damaged. As tree grows this damaged area is always there just keeps on growing. When the tree is harvested there is a section of tree the is non-useablable as lumber because of damage done long time ago. This is where the impact to the forestry industry come into play.Some animals (moose/deer) do the same kind of thing but you cant control them like you can control access of snowmobiles into the forest areas. So maybe some forestry guy can come in here and comment as well.
I have been in access meetings before and this has been mentioned by the forestry industry. just saying lots of people see stuff here not just sledders

Will have to do our best to stay on trails, or just f it up for all.:PDT_daz:


You can off trail just watch what your driving over and think of the other users of the forest. Industry,trappers,whoever. Now get back to sledding it aint over yet.
We just need to educate ourselves better avalanche awareness and bush awareness and how to share the land.
