well just got back,,wew what an interesting couple days with the weather swing to the cold weather,,hope all made it home safe. Well I'm not going to read all the post but i would say that with the number of replies to this subject that it would be safe to say that many suffered the same as i this weekend dealling with valemont local mobile tax collector!!
I want to say i agree with inspecting vehicles and trailers and that its important we all have our selves in order before we hit the road,,but unfortunatly what i witnessed this weekend was pure harassment,,THis guy lectured people like they were beginner drivers,and handed out fines that in my mine were minor infractions and people should have been given the chance to rectify the problem rather than being slapped with a fine,,example,,if one should have a certain number of straps on your sled you should be given the oppurtunity to install one rather than just recieving a 175$ fine,,and from talking with alot of sledders in the area this weekend many suffered the same on friday morning.
To add to the injury while this was going on ,those who finnally made it to the drop off zone came back to there vehicles only to find that they were broken into,,,just great!! Great job valemont on protecting the people that help your livelyhood,,I would love to know the number of sledders that were in town contributing to the local economy,,because they wanted too,,not because they were forced too!!
