2012/2013 pinepass info?

[Shelfrost]

It has snowed a foot of fresh in downtown Chetwynd in the last couple of days. Powder King shows substantial amounts of snowfall in the last week. Should be getting good out there!

I received this email from Xstrata Coal regarding sledders on the Hasler Road. We are trying to work co-operatively with these guys. They are active on the Boulder road, right where the Hasler parking lot was. We need to ensure that sledders are not causing issues with these guys. We cannot control road users, but we can recommend best practises when travelling with industrial road users. Please try to use VHF radios when possible. 0-9 kms on the Westcoast Rd, use channel RR-19A. 9-45 kms on the Hasler Rd use RR-13A. Please group up when possible, and clear the road for industrial traffic coming out. We do not want any incidents with other road users.

Spread the word, let all fellow sledders know about this issue. Thanks for making it safe for all!

Hi Sheldon,
With the recent snow fall and cold weather, we are getting lots of sledding activity at the end of the Hasler Road. I’d like to sit down with you, or your group as soon as possible to discuss how to safely interact. Yesterday, there were a few interactions between recreational vehicles and our workers that we don’t want to continue. Can you let me know when we could pull this off.

We need to work cooperatively, and make sure that everybody can travel safely on the roads. I need to ensure the recreational vehicles are aware of industrial activities and associated hazards.

Thanks Sheldon,
Dayton

Hassler is good if you like hitting rocks 3-4 feet in trees. polaris went down do to drive shaft, looks like they went to light 2013 polaris riders might want to put in a 2012 drive shaft or pay for a heli ride and have a ****ty day. Polaris should man up and do a recall if they havnt already

supposed to snow th rest of the week gonna try out hassler on saturday and silver sands on sunday and see if the snow has progressed at all and how far we can make it anywhere lol

It would be great to hear about Silver Sands. We wanna go on the 8th, so if you keep us posted, it would be awesome

 

[brendan ross]

yea sure thing ill let you know how we make how out

 

[HANDSOME]

just a reminder, with the "proposed" closures announced in the "North Peace Caribou Plan".... the BCSF needs your help, and we need numbers to prove how many of us are risding in these areas. The plan is proposing closures above 1400M, and the plan is not a myth. Join a local club and make your voice heard.

Still not enough members !
