Closing the Forest to Snowmobiling?

[LavaMntSledder]

Could it be the annual film show and meeting at the place near Lava Mountain Lodge? Gathering to shut down the forest to snowmobiles? Is it the Winter Wildlands Alliance who teamed up with the Togwotee Back Country Alliance when they went underground? If you like your form of recreation you may want to speak up where ever you are and where ever you like to ride. Would the place across from Lava Mountain be supporting anti snowmobile efforts and trying to rent to snowmobilers at the same time? The place across from Lava Mountain called Mountain Pinnacle Properties are the ones who block the trail to Lava when ever possible and have even blocked the trail with big orange snow fences in the past. Your voice needs to be heard and not just in Winter. Your actions are necessary, snowmobiling provides 1000s of jobs and major income for Wyoming annually.

Lava,

You got to give us more detail than that. Just checked Togwotee Back Country Alliance website and nothing new since 2007. Whats the story, I grew up riding a mile up the road from the Lodge and still ride there upwards of 4-5 times a year. Whats the story???

Not all participants are anti snowmobiling

Not every on involved is anti snowmobiling. Mr. Togwotee Back Country Alliance himself has a lot to do with organizing the event however. Some of the people that are participating have some really cool back country gear that they make and sell and some have new equipment that they are trying out. The Togwotee Back Country Alliance has gone away or gone underground but probably have joined the Winter Wildlands Alliance which has a much larger presence and voice. If you research the ski industry and much of the outdoor and several other industries you will notice that several of them support environmental groups indirectly. One example is the support of "1% for the Earth". I am sure that like many organizations they start out with a mission and then get out of control. What a lot of environmentalists do not understand is that they too contribute to the very problems they believe they are curing. After all they consume just like any other human. If not they would be living with out a shelter, with out food, with out clothing, with out sewer, electricity, propane, with out news papers, televisions, computers, automobiles and any other form of non human powered transportation. You can't save the forest while killing the trees.
