My main riding area saw some interesting steps this summer toward wilderness designation. The road to Jones pass north was destroyed & planted with trees & grass. At this time there is no limitation to sledding, but the destruction of the roads sure seems like a stepping stone to me. Are these same things happening in other areas that are included in this plan?
btw, not to start a stupid argument, but if CSA spent less on deisel for grooming & more on working against these types of problems I'd be more willing to give them my money. I give AW (american whitewater) my cash because they spend it fighting people that try to close our access, not giving us rides to the river or paving the parking lot at the takeout. (I do understand that grooming is needed for some areas but it's money that I'm not going to pay out)
BTW, is there a way to pay just to a legal fund from csa or saws?
Crazy crap going on either way, I want to figure out how to find out about this stuff before we get kicked in the balls by this stuff.
backcountryislife;805173 btw said:I hear you but in all honesty CSA paying for grooming does a LOT to stop this type of stuff. The reasoning behind it is that if a club maintains a riding area it will not be shut down because there is less erosion, more control on what is happening etc. If you leave a road un-groomed and it gets beat up and turns nasty it is ammunition for the groups trying to shut down our riding areas.

So you mean I'm SCREWED either way!!!!??? It's ride with the white helmet brigade & all the tools that ride trails or go ride where I actually enjoy it & get it shut down? That sucks.
I know I'll get beat up for saying this, but the areas where they groom are the areas that they could shut down without me caring at all. (for my own riding, not that I don't care about other peoples enjoyment) Grand lake, Vail pass, etc could be off the map & I wouldn't drop a tear aside from the fact that it would drive more folks to the unknown places that are actually worth riding.
If those really are my options, then I'll have to get into cross country skiing. Crap, I don't have any tights or skinny skis!
I'm gonna go see if I can get a deal on some snowshoes!![]()
