with trax , its legit. its the wheels/tires that are not permitted . dudes out there in their beefed up quads & side by sides with 30" mud tires chewing up the trails is whats not permitted
I don't believe that is true whatever you ride must be registard as a snowvehicle just like how snowbikes are not permitted in snowmobile areas like cattract creek
atvs with tracks do a lot of damage to the snowmobile trails

this is one of the few snowmobile Areas we have open in the West Country and it would b a shame to lose them Because people don't follow the rules

I think I rode that area once a long time ago didn't know the name of it. Is it just west of the Cline River and you unload by a gas compressor site? I remember riding up a creek until you get to narrow valley which looks like the last picture Guy posted. It was a bit of a pull to get my old 580 up that last valley section from what I remember. Snow was really set up when I was there which was late February I think.

Coworker tried getting in on Sunday. He told me he had to turn around 1/2 way in cause his wife's old summit 600 144" couldn't make it in. Chest deep snow. He was going to try again this weekend with bigger Mountain sleds.
