Well we have all probably heard that another Avy killed some skiers near Valemount yesterday. Condolances for sure.
It has been a very tough 2 weeks for sure.
On this site and others everyone is pointing at this and that, and stating do this or that and the Gov't is saying this and that.
I have heard some great ideas for sure over the past 2 weeks on how to make it as safe as we can out their in the backcountry.
So here is a little idea.
All of the clubs in BC should band together and Alta ( Because it is a lot of Albertans that use the BC areas) and have a big meeting. Each send a representative and have a think tank of ways to improve safety. maybe invite some experts from National Parks, The Canadian Avalanche Ass, The Government of BC, The Heli Ops in BC etc.
This would at least show a combined effort that the snowmobile community is serious about the education of it's members and that we are willing to try and get things together and look at ways to make safety our #1 priority.
I have no idea who would organize this, ( Maybe start at each club level)
and maybe you break it down to smaller groups at first ( IE: The Revy/Golden/Sicamouse/ Calgary Group), ( The
Crwsnest/Fernie/Cranbook/Calgary group) etc.
It would definately be a start?????????
Any other ideas as with this forum and others we do have a tool to get news and ideas out
