So, is the question about a chopper putting down in Wilderness, or a chopper spotting sleds in the Wilderness?
The Forest Service is VERY aware of the amount of sled traffic in the wilderness up Teanaway (likewise, up north at Excelsior, Anderson and Watson Lakes, etc.). It is being documented by the USFS on a regular basis. We are giving them a nice pile of ammunition to shut down access to the whole area. Just because you don't get caught, doesn't mean you aren't doing major damage to our cause.
Next time you're sitting at Ingalls or Longs Pass, and you see sleds in Headlight Basin or Turnpike, do something about it. The people that I've confronted are completely aware of that they are riding in wilderness. They just don't care. I hate to say it, but the only way this is going to stop is if a few people get nailed.
no thats not the reason,,as I understand it ,,the chopper sat down and they want to find out who it was , they need a positave I D so they can go after the people..........yes there are a lot of people who think its o k to head over just so long as they dont get caught............like the guy at reecer creek who got caught on the trail with a truck,,,,,,,,,love to hear thoes stories
Anyone have a good map of Excelsior and what exactly is wilderness to this date? My map is a little dated and i heard that more area is open now. If someone could post it up on the forum i think we would all benefit. Thanks in advance!

I love those stories too...its good for business. I told a few of the local Off-Road rangers that they should have an enforcment crew out riding to write tickets and bust people..they didn't seem all up for that tho??? WTF dude?
