You are right, it's not the OEM's sole responsibility, but they sure could be a leader in getting the message out. The auto manufacturers don't force you to take driving lessons, but they sure have them available if you want to take them. You have a Shelby, you should know this.

The Calgary Snowmobile Club has been reimbursing AST1 / AST2 courses for years already. This can be taken advantage of every two years you are a club member so it's great for refresher courses as well. I think it is a great idea and more clubs should be doing this for the sake of their members...

I agree! The OEM's have to come up with a plan that includes the avy training providers. Maybe the avy providers can start the conversation with the OEM's to get them thinking about it. They (OEM's) are the ones building the machines that go where they go with little effort. They should be...

Madman, great work on trying to get to the bottom of how to identify snow bikes in the eyes of the government. These bikes are a part of the winter sport now and that part of the community needs to be recognized to keep the future of "our" sport growing. The Calgary Snowmobile Club (CSC) as...

That good info. We have been going down that road for the past couple of years. Kaz Dog has been doing great work with the government getting us the proper TFA's. And you are right, many hands make for light work. Thanks for the post.

Please don't go ride there until the area is officially open on Dec.1. Thanks.

I have re-read my post and I don't think I eluded to any such thing. I am sorry you took it that way.

I totally agree with what your saying but I also don't think we should shun them either. That segment of snow vehicle is only going to grow and we as motorized winter enthusiasts need a bigger,stronger voice or this area will eventually end up like Castle. So I for one wish that all those...

There is snow there but REMEMBER, you can not ride there until DECEMBER 1 2015!! Went for a drive down there this morning to walk the dogs and couldn't believe how many "riders" dis-regard this law. If I want to go fishing some where, I find out the regulations for that body of water before I...

I understand the legal reasons for the dealer to do the PDI. I just wish they would get someone other than the wash bay kid to do them.

This thread was about Cataract Creek, which is crown land, I get what you are saying though but when trail maintenance is being done with quads, trucks, ect... at Cataract, it is with strict rules and with government supervision. laws are laws and if you want to change them, have at 'er.

It's a club ride, so there will be a good group going. The Betties always put on a great weekend, definitely worth the drive. Doug always finds the snow.

Why not run your tracked quad at McLean Creek? It's closer and already designated for quads. OH YA, THAT AREA IS ALREADY F'ED UP BY QUADS!!! Maybe the government see's what happened there and doesn't want it happening at Cataract.

Fording Pass is accessed from Baril, there is a off shoot trail that is not on the map you have. Loggers is a dead end.

Check out the Calgary Snowmobile Club destination rides. they are posted on here under Clubs and on their website. Good group to ride with. Last week in Golden we had 32 on Saturday and 21 on Sunday. once we get into an area w slit into smaller groups so it's good to find new people to ride...
