Quaders Riding Alberta Beach Trails!

[Zixer]

Big knives go through sidewalls on quads like butter......lol....just an opinion though

That might work in Canada, but down here south of the border that could get you shot...just something to think about...

"I CAN DO WHAT I WANT WHEN AND WHERE I WANT".

That unfortunately is the attitude of a lot of people. You can't legislate common sense or respect for others. The same attitude pertains to riding in restricted areas etc. Maybe just talk to them when you see them and hope to not get too much verbal abuse.

Why not ask them if they have a snowmobile trail pass for their quad?

I'm not trying to be ignorant, I'm just curious. What I'm asking is... are quads or UTV's that HAVE TRACKS allowed on the trails or not??
Although I have never rode my quad with tracks on a groomed trail, in powder snow it leaves less of a mark then a snowmobile does.

So to be clear, I understand the argument against quads and SXS's with tires on groomed trails. But what if they have tracks??

Thats all fine and dandy.....I've seen on the news how crazy Americans can be with guns.....especially in schools.

Do you have a snowmobile trail pass for your quad?

I would have to check the ASA rules to be 100% sure but there again, I have no issue asking the questions.

The REAL question here is, DO you sir have more pics of whats in your avi?

Well was out with family and many others around alberta beach sledding yesturday, and seen lots of quads on trail and even seen a dirt bike with wheels front and back just leaving trenches aall over, he even left one a foot deep or hit the dirt for 10 ft or so, and the guys he was with were on sleds hmmmmm

 

[GYMBRAT]

If the rules state otherwise, I say theres no reason ONLY sledders should be aloud to enjoy the winter. Not everyone is a sledder....

We have a usage agreement with the county of Lac St.Anne for the maintenance and exclusive usage of the trails. An ASA pass helps to cover the cost of insurance and maintenance... each grooming costs about $1800 and takes approx 30 hours volunteer time...

Who owns the trails?

You guys can enjoy the winter all you want.....just not on groomed snowmobile trails with quads and then with NO trail pass to boot. Some people don't understand how the ruts cause sleds to dart and pitch all over the trail. I did that for 15 miles on the Ironhorse one year and it was no fun. And, the day my wife or kids hit those ruts caused by quads on a groomed snowmobile trail and they get thrown off and and hurt and the sled ends up in a tree.....well, lets just say there will be some very unhappy quaders!

..... all I can do is sigh in frustration....... guess its time for us to get out there and do some educating.

 

[Bogger]

Guess I should have read the whole thread first... lol....

We can explain until we are blue in the face, most people get it but you can't fix stupid.... There are ATV trails available in the AB beach area in winter, HHA is accessible by ATV & SxS, and I'll even give you the east side of Hwy 43 & the north side of 633...

I wouldnt personally ruin a groomed sledding trail myself, thats just immature imho. BUT theres no need for bitching and causing stress between the two groups is what I was getting at.

I would not however recommend anyone come up to me ever and give me the what for LOL

The bitching and whining all starts because some people have no respect for others.....

Just cause I drive around town with my cool driving lights on?

I'll agree with you there. Same thing happened here in Sylvan. No one would respect the law so now no one can ride in town limits anymore :/

Yeah, I heard about that.....that sucks.....but, its happening all over nowadays....In Morinville they allow us a straight ride in to a gas station and back out again but its just a matter of time before someone screws it up.....and hey, go to the beer and babes section in the tailgate chat for more avatar related material.....LOL
