Blue River cloures.

Please go to the valemont and blue river section to view info on another proposed ski tenure area, everyone needs to respond.

Guys - this is just a thought. How about a section on land closures, "inappropriate" tenure applications, political (snowmobiling) comments on the forum front page. That way - easier for people to find and post comments.

It would help that whoever posts the notice - links to where interested individuals can post comments - as was done in this instance.

The greenies have been doing it for years. With the internet and email - it makes it way easier for us "silent majority" to make our voices heard. (and having a smart, good-looking lawyer on side)

Great idea Barefooter. I will ask Ron. Are you suggesting that your the good looking lawyer or the smart one???

 

[ZRrrr]

Incredible what this woman has fabricated for her own gain. I think it's high time us snowmobilers startig creating stories of our own here are a few that come to mind:

Snowmobilers in Blue River save lives of heliskiers after skier causes avalanche.

Snowmobilers in Blue River save lives of hundreds of Caribou, snowmobiles used to heard them away from heliskier caused avalanche.

Snowmobile club in Blue River spends countless volunteer hours cleaning up after heliskiers.

And so on....

I ain't either. I was hoping somebody knew one!!!

Little disappointed at the apparent lack of interest in this topic. Come on Snow and mud people, this is a hell of a lot more important than a fricken snow countdown. No wonder special interest groups can shut down our areas so easily.

What about you moderators? your pretty quick to censure me,and post on every thread have you voiced your concern.

Go to "Kootenay Area Snowmobiling" and read the post "Area at Risk" by KootenayCat.

Kevin and others handled this really well. A good example of how to do it.:d

She wants exclusive tenure only. She has never come to the club or the community to address any deals with sharing the area at all. She is trying to slide this under our noses. She resides in a different community all together.

 

[scotts]

Not to sure about the whole Kootenay issue so am a little hesitent to comment. Seems that most special interest groups ask for tenure first before asking for cooperation from other users first. Once granted its too late.

 

[dooryder]

I may only be 16 but im going to do everything in my power to not let this tenure problem to go through this is BS!!!

 

[scotts]

you can do more than you think. Have everyone you know respond politely on the link provided to voice their oppossion to the tenure

I have responded (politely) against the tenure application.

I do wonder, however, why the snowmobile club does not have the tenure for themselves. Then they would not have to worry about these applications.

Example: The McBride Snowmobile Club has tenure, and have applied for others. Outside groups must ask OUR permission for use of our areas and we work with them when we can. The tenure can be taken away from us for environmental reasons (caribou, etc.) but at least we don't have to deal with things like this, cause it's is already ours.

Dont know how I missed this but I did, will respond politly right away!

Last i checked sledeers only have to stay out of parks, and habitat closures, not tenures. I may be wrong but tenures are not exclusive.

Yesss !! You are right 100 % Correct !

However....Once Dana gets Her Tenure ( Maybe ) I can smell a Section 58 coming !

 

[BLUE JEWEL]

Mike Weigele has been succesful already with having a Section 58 put on in The North Blue Area

Since I see that Dana Foster has been working with Him for many now ( Since 1983 )

Mike will simply have the Section 58 already in that area Extended to include Dana's " Wish " for Tenure.

 

[summit889]

What is section 58? we rode North Blue a few times last year and Weigle's choppers knew we were in there and no one said anything.

Section 58 means that the Area would be for Non-Motorised use only

Mike Weigele did not have it Signed last Year.....that there was a Section 58 in a Certain part of the North Blue Area.

The Section 58 Used to be called " CRA " Control Recreation Area " well that did NOT work for Mike because it would mean that Snowmobiles could still go there soooooo Mike Weigele had them changed to Section 58 wich means Non- Motorized Area.

Mike has ALOT of pull in Our Current Gov't .

But Gov't can NOT Ignore Numbers ! so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Send in Your Polite Comments to Gov't . They can't argue with Numbers so ALL Your Comments will Help Blue River " Thrive to Survive "

THANK A MILLION TO ALL WHO HAVE PUT IN THEIR 2 CENTS !!!
