"Not Feasible"...

As based on actually looking into the subject, in depth, or from supposition by people who wish only to put forth one method to attaining a goal at an overall higher cost to all involved?

Something could be deemed not feasible IF it were to be critically evaluated from many perspectives.

Would it be work, YES... Could the efforts put into the proposal of the Legislation in this thread be directed into another direction that would meet the Stated goal of this proposal... I believe strongly so, yes.

If the goal is actually to limit snowmobile access to "clear-cuts" as md2020 states... then the discussion must continue and all prejudices must be dropped in order to have a democratic solution.

If I remember it was squashed by the others on here as not being feasible.. I think if everyone of the 151k backcountry users paid in 10 bucks for the next 10 years that it would be a very easy possibility.

It was put down pretty quickly. locations, method and frequency would need to be figured out before the funding could be figured out..

I laughed out loud as well Aaron, that you found racist implications there in context with this discussion. I expected more from you than that cheap shot.

Allow me to retort.

The exclusive ATTITUDE  is what was put forth... and this ATTITUDE still riddles our society... both here with Backcountry Access issues as well as others. The ATTITUDE being..."that your rights extend beyond the rights of others" as stated in the post above.

It wasn't so much the comment, but who it was directed at.

Areas such as Suncadia eliminating large areas of riding that once was used by motorcycles and sleds, is gone.

Was Suncadia land that was previously owned by the OWNF? I don't know so no smart remarks.

I know it sux that the areas are no longer "exclusively skier"... but there are HUGE amounts of land, directly adjacent to major roads that are "skier-only"... now that may take car-pool shuttles to get to, but don't you think that is worth the effort?

Where exactly are there huge amounts of land in the OWNF, directly adjacent to major roads that are "skier only"? Major roads to me are US 2 and 97, I live in Wenatchee so that's what they are to me.

Go to Snoqualmie Pass via I-90. It is a fairly major road and not a long drive from Wenatchee.  All the land behind Hyak is skier only such as Mt Catherine, Silver Mtn, Humpback Mtn, etc... as well as all of the Alpental BC.
