Lassen OSV meeting...

[SnowMoLoco]

FWD from Sierra Access Coalition (http://www.sierraaccess.com/snowmobiles.html)

There will be a public meeting regarding the revised Lassen N.F. Over Snow Vehicle Plan on Oct. 17 from 3:00-6:00 p.m. at the Lassen NF Supervisors Office in Susanville.
This meeting is extremely important not only for snowmobilers on the Lassen NF, but also for snowmobilers on the Plumas, Tahoe, Stanislaus and El Dorado National Forests. The Lassen NF plan, if implemented, will determine restrictions which will also be used on the other four forests. So your involvement on the Lassen plan is critical.
If you are unable to attend the meeting, you can submit electronic comments through the FS website at https://cara.ecosystem-management.o...gement.org/Public//CommentInput?Project=45832

I couldn't go. Hopefully some sledders showed to rep' us n kik some ***.
3-6 on a tues aint exactly encouraging attendance.

Folks should read SACs page on the matter..its a pisser. Heres a few quotes.

"...It became apparent that the Forest Service's decision is virtually identical to the non-motorized "Snowlands Lassen Proposal".* The FS are imposing a snow depth restriction of 12" for cross country (off trail) snowmobile travel, and designated 63,870 acres exclusively for non-motorized use.* These areas include historical high use snowmobiling areas."

"...The Lassen OSV Plan is the first to be done in the United States, so it will likely be used as a model for the rest of the National Forests in California and the nation.* So what happens on the Lassen is extremely important."

One can learn a lot about the matter by reading the latest newsletter from the leading anti-snomo groups out there..
know your enemy... http://snowlands.org/newsletter/archive/fall2016.pdf.
Id like to see a list of their sponsors so they could be boycotted/avoided...Sheels among many big names used to support them..not sure anymore, they quit listing their sponsors openly.
