Good stories! :p
Mine is a reverse story and involved no witnesses. I was riding third in a group of four. I was waiting at an intersection for the fourth rider. The first two had gone on. I was concerned that I was too far into the turn and the rider would blow the corner, so I decided to...
Thanks for posting that RMK Junky! I get so riled up when I re-read what I wrote!! :realmad: LOL!!
Here's the article about the Betties that I think Tam was referring too. :p

I can't speak for what happens on the ladies rides in Canada, but at the Annual Ladies Ride in Halfway, the focus has always been on safety. From the very simple safety rules of group riding (waiting at intersections), to how to get yourself unstuck, identified radio channels, etc. All riders...
Hmmmmm.....I truly not sure where to start. I'm a mom, a sledder, an active activist for land access (SAWS Rep for Oregon), a fierce and vocal supporter of women riders and their sledding products.
However - all of that aside - I do think that it's is unfair that you expect the women to...

There needs to be equality amongst ALL backcountry users!
There is another sledder missing on Pemberton.
This is the comment that makes my blood boil....
"The public is reminded to use caution when entering the backcountry on snowmobile and to make sure they are properly equipped for winter...
I'm trying to keep track of where this is popping up. Tonight, I came across this reference. It contains a link to SW, but I cannot find that my commentary has been published (which is FINE!).....I think Mr. Briggs did a GREAT job with his own rebuttal. :)
In anticipation (and hopes)...
Cool. Thanks for clarifying. I've seen this stated on several threads and finally decided to ask. :)
We have to have personal licenses for boating here too. Frankly, I'm not up-to-date on the ohv rules, but I think that's where they are going with them too...personal licenses.
I've...
So, are sleds not licensed or registered in Canada now? :confused: In the US, depending on which state you live in, sleds are licensed (as in Oregon) or registered (as in Washington). As an Oregon sledder, I have to buy a sled license to ride in Wyoming....even for one day.
BUT - our license...
Here's a place to start......
Avy Challenge - challenging backcountry snowmobilers to be avalanche prepared
We need to hammer this into the skulls of all sledders!! :p
Thanks! "Home" riding is in the Oregon Cascades. Generally Mt. Bachelor to Diamond Lake. We travel at least a couple of times a year though to ride Mt. Baker, Halfway and WY. One day we will ride in BC. :)
