with this many douche bags, that is how the douche canoe came to be. CMC already banned sleds from Lefthand Res./Niwot ridge. CMC sucks obama turds!

 

[CO 2.0]

so what do we as individuals need to do to stop this crap? I am down to go to meetings or whatever. It takes all of us to make a difference. We (sledders) are a small group of people... If they get what they want then they'll just move on to more areas in Colorado they want shut down. We have to have some higher ups on our side that can help right? I'm not a guy who cares who is in office until it directly affects me as a person. Democrats are gonna kill us

 

[bushy]

As long as they keep abusing the Wilerness Act by including roaded areas in wilerness we are phawked. We shouldn't have to fight all those phawkers in the first place. What we need is for someone to take a case to the supreme court and make them pass down a ruling against making Wilderness designations for property that is not wilderness. Until a precident is set in that court against this bullchit, they are gonna keep winning piece by piece. Boycotting is great, not that I think they'd really notice, but sending money to the orgs is a better way to fight this battle.

so what do we as individuals need to do to stop this crap? :

What do we do?
We start ignoring the wilderness designation and ride anyway. We make it SO expensive to enforce they give up.

Sounds good from a riding standpoint. Unfortunately, with all the support behind them, I don't think any amount would be SO expensive. Also, wouldn't it be our tax dollars going towards enforcement? What a bunch of BS. Don't these extremest groups have anything better to do? guess not

I just gotta say..............When I read stuff like this...............I get a tear in my eye...............I LOVE MY SLEDDING BROTHERS..........(AND SISTERS)!!

I'm starting to feel all "Bravehearty"........fight the good fight my men!!

 

[Mnt bound]

Check out the Land Use thread for this. I put some Info on over there that might help you write letters or emails.
Please take time. Were screwed if we let this kind of presedence get set. Next thing you know all public land will be wilderness.

 

[Mrs Snowrider]

I don't know where CSA stands, but as CSA shrinks in membership because too many people refuse to join clubs. . . they think all this land will always be there, we don't have a chance. I know, you have all heard it before, but for whomever is NOT a member of a club, and is NOT involved with keeping informed, I blame you! CSA, SAWS, COHVCO are all there for us, but, they are only there if they have strong members. Everyone needs to look in the mirror and ask themselves, what can I do?

 

[PJ-Hunter]

I'm a member of SAWS but not the CSA. What is the link to their website?

 

[Qreiff]

Perfectly said Mrs. Snowrider!!!!

Dammit! IF you are not a member of the CSA and you live and ride in our beautiful state?!?!?!? WTF???

The organization need you dollars to fuel these plicks that want to take our land, to fuel groomers for the trails YOU ride, etc.....

It only about $30 bucks. Snowmobiling organizations should be getter stronger for petes sake NOT SMALLER!!

How do we fight the good fight without any $$??

Remember it is.............not what snowmobiling can do for you (all the time) but what you can do for our sport of snowmobiling!! (at least some of the time!)

 

[Mrs Snowrider]

I'm a member of SAWS but not the CSA. What is the link to their website?

You can register at the snow show PJ! It is www.coloradosledcity.com.

I am with Ollie, Ride the wilderness and instead of them spending money on new ways to take land, spend money on catching us! It is just a cat and mouse game, but there are a hell of a lot more mice!
