Around here the majority of backcountry plankers and boarders are already using doo's

it just would be nice to see all backcountry users fight together to keep areas open,

Maybe this will be a good thing for our sport. Sledders and boarders working together to keep our back country open to all users.

Did you even read that article????? This is SOOOO much different than riding in designated areas in your local sled towns..... They are trying to support making 1.4 million acers a national monument in southern Utah..... WHAT at all is wrong with that? Can you ride a snowmobile through jasper? No..... "A world class landsace deserves world class levels of protection". Even as a sledder.... I agree 100%. There is a place for it... And it should stay that way! I see absoultley NOTHING wrong with this at all... in fact.. good on them for it. I wouldn't care what brand it is. You may as well put up a post proclaming you think we should be able to sled anywhere we want through banff and jasper.

I think we should be able to sled in Banff and Jasper...... That would be awesome. And Id love to go wheeling in Moab one day too. That place is a VERY popular off road destination in the US. It would be like shutting down Revy to sleds for that user group.

Jasper and Banff were parks before snowmobiling existed, so nothing was lost, but a great wilderness area was preserved.....the Moab is a lot like Revelstoke, the off-roaders support the local economy and create many jobs, without off-road recreation many jobs will be lost.....a funny thing about the Moab is hikers and bicycles will have access still ......better regulation of off-road activities may be required but total closure is crazy.....it would be like closing Revy or Valemont

True.. But bikers and hikers still have acsess to banff and jasper.... I don't think creating more national parks/monuments should be frowned upon is all.

Nope... They have big azz ski hills in the parks, Why can't I have an area to sled?

I agree, but picking special user groups is dumb......heli-skiing in parks is okay also

Its a national park man.....PERIOD....Show some pride in them. Ski's tend to be able to achive a much better emmissions number than a two stroke.

 

[lilduke]

Why not make all of BC a national park? Most of BC is far more beautiful than Banff......

This is true.... I guess it all depends on what you are judging it off of. I know from an EPA standpoint an arguement wouldnt have a leg to stand on. But as far as "people presence".. and long term effects.. there might not be much difference... I personally think a sled can leave MUCH worse of a fingerprint than ski's and a mountain bike.... hence...designated areas. Opinion only.

Seriously?? How the fawk do they get up the hill?? Any who I just disagree with you big time so Ill just leave it at that.

On a side note it would have been nice if BRP could have teamed up with a Canadian snowboard/ski manufacturer there are some amazing products made right here in our own backyard. I kind of get it everyone knows who Burton is, makes sense, I'm sure Burton helped to pad the pockets of a few BRP execs to get there name plastered all over that machine.

I like the idea of Canadians working with Canadians.


Tapatalk is getting better...on my cell phone.

all I know is most skier's or boarders can't afford a new sled and granola, if I was a dealer I wouldn't promote the Burton edition
