Vail Pass updates?

[J-Fly]

You guys are giving JFly WAY to much credit. This is just what he does. He makes his own rules then rants and raves when he gets caught. And he has the logic of a 12 yr old. Don't get caught actually "reasoning" with him, it's like reasoning with a drunk.

I hear he makes a mean veggie pizza though.

Go collect some money for the government .........

It would suck to see that whole meadow get shut down due to a few people breaking the rules every weekend. If you are going past the signs just for ski/board access to the terrain above Lime Creek, it's just not worth it. It's only a 5 minute hike or traverse over to the terrain from the signs. Is that extra 500' past the sign worth a $275 ticket? What I don't get is why the FS doesn't just put up some lodgepole or beetle kill fencing at the end of that meadow to keep people from riding over to Vail.

I will say this....I know a couple of the FS rangers up there and they have told me on more than a few occasions that they enjoy writing tickets, especially to people who pull the attitude with them. On any given Saturday or Sunday, they setup stakeouts just beyond a lot of the closed signs and will nab 10-15 sledders per day.

So yeah, the closed areas really make no sense and it does suck, but there are A LOT of legal areas up there that are equally, if not better zones for sledding and/or sled-ski/boarding.
