YEP ! I think part of the solution is geo-referenced mapping - the challenge is to ensure all snowmobilers use the same map. This could be a good project for the BCSF. Thanks

Hi Greg. Multi use applies to compatible activities, motorized and non-motorized do not mix. We move slow and cannot go anywhere else. Frisby and Boulder are managed by the RSC. At a recent RSC meeting it was reported that despite signage the sled skiing area is not working, "sled ruts...

Good idea ! Except....portion of tenure is in Monashee Provincial Park (non-motorized). Cheers

Thank you for the suggestions. Our tenure is for non-motorized activities, but we do have road access and increased signage along the road seems to have helped. We are being proactive by networking with the snowmobile community through MANY channels (local club, BCSF, this forum, influencers...

Thankyou for this input. Yes - I agree with signage, but I think georeferenced mapping is the best solution. I have stuck our head out of the sand here on this forum. You get it. We are pretty much running a family farm built up over 20 years, so much work goes into harvest time, our staff...

One word - Thankyou. Just as we do not ski in Area 51 or other snowmobile areas.

Thankyou for the input. We have recently added signage on our access road. It is not possible for us to post signage beyond roads as we are non-motorized, whereas MPS has snow cat access. I think geo referenced mapping is the answer over signage, and is the current standard - the challenge is...

Yes I do, multiple points along main access to lodge - signage seems to have reduced traffic. Recent tracks Mar 1 came from the south where we do not have signage. But ski tracks make it pretty obvious! And there is PLENTY of riding to the south, including big burn area. They did exit that...

Correct. Our lodge is outside the provincial park. Tenures are non-exclusive, similar to forest tenures etc. Yes our tenure allows us to operate a non-motorized commercial operation. Snowmobile tracks on ski runs make areas non-operable and pose a safety issue (we had a guide tweak a knee...

Correct. Area 51 is outside of our tenure. My point is that promoting Area 51 may be driving traffic to an area that has poor access that is not maintained. There is plenty of riding out there - but access seems to be the pinch point. Yes for sure alternate access would be up N. Fosthall and...

We still need to have that beer! Just don't get to Rev much in the winter. Aim for summer ?

They crossed our skin tracks and ski tracks. They knew. It will take 60 cm of snow before we can use those runs again.

Thanks for this conversation. Very much agreed - clubs should not be promoting areas they do not manage, especially as snowmobile tourism. I have been going in circles on this conversation with the RSC. I know Mustangs program well, worked for them in the early days. We would be happy to...

Hi - I am owner/operator of mentioned lodge. If you go straight north this is a provincial park. I am reaching out to the snowmobile community to minimize snowmobile use in our area. Increased traffic since we starting operations 20 years ago is negatively impacting our family run business...
