Most of the times lately atvers will stay off a snowmobile trail in the winter if explained why they should. Issue that affects most is summer use and abuse. We need some kind of solution but like ImDoin says tough to do. Sledding isnt dieing just needs some help from the government to come up with a trail use plan and a funding program for repairs and maintenance. Also a strong or present AOHVA that is commited to work with their member clubs if they have any and get the word out with proper riding habits. If possible. Quad squad in the Crowsnest Pass seem to have a working arangement but the ground is harder and rocky to help things along.
Funny you should mention this as I just wrote a letter to Jack Hayden (minister of tourism, parks and recreation) concerning this very thing last week. One solution is to get the government to turn over the revenue from registration fees to the sport that generates it. Also gasoline tax rebate on fuel used for sledding much like some states in the US. Maybe if more people could get on their MLA and government officials something would change.
