Plenty of snow down there now with more to come. I was down there Friday, Seeley Canyon was epic.
Anybody going to the Shoot-out should be aware that large tracts of land are now closed to motorized winter travel.
Actively protest the closure of public lands in the Boulger Canyon and Cleveland Reservior areas by refusing to purchase anything from any store, shop, motel, restaurant, gas station, road side vendor, or internet retailer, etc. located in Sanpete County.
Maybe the savants at the county tourism office will get the hint that snowmobilers = $$$$$. Open and equal access is all we ask for.
I am curious, do the boarders, skiers, kiters, shoers, and other non-motorized winter recreation enthusiasts pay any registration fees or property taxes on their equipment (trucks, trailers, snowmobiles)? And what portion of what they pay (which, by the way is $0.00) goes toward trail maintenance, SAR, rider education programs, and enforcement? Let the Sanpete County Commissioners see how the grunge element will respond to fill their revenue coffers. I'm willing to bet that the grunge doesn't spend even 5% of what snowmobilers do at Sanpete County businesses.
Boycott everything Sanpete for the rest of 2010 - Don't purchase anything from their stores, shops, gas stations, restaurants, internet retailers; don't go to the Manti Pagent, don't buy Norbest Turkeys, or Utah wool, lamb, or anything else even remotely associated with Sanpete County.
Good luck with your little ploy to increase local tourism you idiots!
The closed areas are on the Price side of Skyline drive, not the Sanpete side. Good observation there.
oh well not like we arent used to it.
