09/10 Pine Pass Conditions

Was a good ride 2 day. about a dozen of us out for a good play. Got to see some good climbs. Snow conditions are equal to our usual January conditions. deep pow and its all set up now. I dug a hole about 4-5 ft on the back lakes some where up near the top of a nasty and the layer of snow is adhered to the rock nicely!! Anyways a few pics, Aluminum bowl, first saddle after the top of the creek, and a shot when we got back to the truck after dark, Fawk it sucks having no headlights some times. Enjoy........

You might want to start a Prince George area's thread. You might get some reports from that area, Its a little bit far from the pine pass to get any info in this thread.:beer;

hi i just thought that everyone should see this. We all figured it would only be a matter of time before they wanted to shut down these riding areas. I sent a email to the dawson club asking what we could do to help them out.

At last nites club meeting, alot of concerns were brought up in regards to what is happening with our riding areas in the Pine Pass. It has come to our attention that the Greenies if I can use that word have proposed and have approval to shut down almost 25 KMs of trail and riding area known as "Old Friend". We know that soon enough they will be moving closer to us and we as a Northern Group which includes FSJ, Chetwnd, Tumbler Ridge, Mackenzie and Dawson Creek want to begin action to protect our right to ride the area known as Hassler.
We are beginning to ask questions into securing the trail into Hassler first of all as a designated , registered or tenured trail. Is there a current tenure or registration? If there isn't can we begin the process? Does it have to use the Paradise Valley Snowmobile Association name or could we use the Northeast Snowmobile Coalition? If we do not act now, we know what the future holds. Can you offer us some help?
