Looking to see if overnight camping will be permitted this season in the staging areas due to the covid pandemic?

With A NDP majority, will out of province residents even be allowed in the province to sled??? Or will they make a BC bubble.

Revelstoke has the only staging areas I have seen no camping signs in. Most places don’t care but revelstoke always has.

Any community that is against riders, shouldn't have built areas for riding. Revelstoke, Sicamous, Valemount, McBride, Whistler, and many more, have a largely tourism based economy to survive. They need people who come and spend money to survive, or will become another ghost town, and soon nobody will live there.

What does this have to do with camping and staging areas and what are you trying to say here? That all theses communities are against Sledder’s coming to ride? Im pretty sure my house won’t just evaporate in to thin air cause people don’t come to ride here. People come to these areas because there all badass places too visit and ride. If you don’t want to support these riding areas then stay home and don’t complain about them.

Yes, the signs are there.
I beleive to not encourage becuase of snow removal issues.... WINK WINK....
lots of folks have been BROKEN DOWN in their rigs and had to stay the night.
Just saying..
No camping down towm Revy on the streets either for skiers. Happens ever day and night.

Do it respectable and no one can complain or bitch..... You know!!!!
The way 89.635% percent of the way sledders are. (If you want to challenge the percentage, That will require a private message,)
(Oh, unless you cannot comprehend this) (then ask or post about it???)
That would be bad. Why bad????

MEEEoooWmwww!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously you misread that post, and haven't read any of my other posts.
I am extremely pro riding area, and buy 3 area passes annually. My point was simple, why would any community want to stop people from coming, riding, and even camping. Tourism such as sledding, and other things, is the lifeblood of many communities. Some people are trying to say that communities don't want riding, or camping. I feel the opposite is true, and they desperately want and need us. Us sled riders dump an awful lot of money into these towns.
But hey, thanks for being quick to jump to your false conclusion, I appreciate it.

trash/ human waste/ parking just some of the issues with your entitlement. Do u want someone camping outside your house because they can? Nor do these people. Even if it is 50km from a town....What do these communities have to gain to have some f’k park his 55ft toy hauler across 8-10 parking spots at a day use area so nobody else can park there....

How does staying in your camper, drinking booze and eating food you brought from home while taking 10spots up at the trailhead help the local community out?

I'd find a more remote place to camp personally. Lots of great riding areas that aren't maintained by a club that you might not normally ride because they are far from town.

You'll run into less cry babies that way.
