Trail Etiquette

[snoflake]

Soooo, lets say your riding an area that does not groom. Why in the F$%K does everyone single track on a logging road instead of trying to make a wider trail? There is a 3' deep whoop section for 10++km of a logging road. Seen it on 2 occasions this weekend. 10+ sleds in front of us, and all following each other single file on a road that's 40ft wide. Then come across a fallen tree, and literally cut about 2" wider than a sled so you can barely fit, instead of at least taking 5' off of it. Being stupid is like being dead, You don't know your dead, and its just painful for anyone around you.

Never understand why people do that with the logs. Take it off the whole trail lol

We had another issue this weekend 6 in a group putting along 5 moved over and let us pass the last guy who was swerving back and forth on the trail got pissed when he was passed. Hold you line and and be aware of who is around you.

Instead of complaining about it you could’ve cut the tree. And made your own trail.

Trails get whooped because for some reason, guys simply cannot hold the throttle steady. They think its cool to open and close the clutch 1000 times before they get to the alpine and then complain about how these clutches never last.....

Yea had quite a bit of trouble with that this weekend. People parking 3-4 wide in the middle of the trail. Riding slow, weaving back and forth, and not looking back. Guess with more people in this sport than ever before you're going to have more newbies, assholes, etc but it is pretty frustrating lol

I cut the tree just wide enough for my quad so the side by side losers go home and not chew up and destroy everything

Thats what sledders say when quads use sled trails

I noticed a whole new philosophy to riding the other day. I don’t know how many times we were parked chatting or resting on the edge of a meadow and groups of riders would blow by us at WOT and it appeared like lots of “show off wheelies”. Just wound up and giving ‘er in a straight line. It was a rare occasion to get a nod, a wave, thumbs up, or whatever. It seemed like it was all about how fast can we go to get to nowhere.
Wasn’t like that even 5 years ago. People would stop or slow down and ask if all was well. Not these days.

If your slow and weave on the trail…. Challenge accepted!

Single lane riders… love it and nothing should change on that front. I need a smooth trail, why whoop up my section

You are really bitching about nothing you snow flake, get out and ride brah!

im always trying to make the trails wider. Avalanche alley at allan creek prime example. its like sheep just going up the single track but it could be 4 sleds wide and no one would have trouble getting up lol. boggles my mind but good entertainment.

We had to tell other riders with us in the pass not to take the same track down a steep hill. Always ride at lease half a sled width over so that when we need to come out at the end of the day, the trail would be wide and set up. Some times people would cooperate, other times they would ride right In the middle. And it would be those riders that had a hard time getting out.

i got yelled at yesterday for passing a group that was parked scattered all over the trail. I guess i hit them with an ice chunk. #soft

You big meany you probably ###### up their instagram post. He my kid got yelled at and the guy gave him the finger. But the guys was to much of a coward to stop at the cabin.

Should throw a 2.6" arctic cat track on your sled if they want to see ice chunks.

Dont think they are afraid, just not thinking or too stupid to figure out you can keep a road smoother by making it 5 wide vs 1 wide. Like unless it’s keystone. Then it’s 6 wide and 3’ deep whoops for 18km.
