We all know what a BC skier wants....no tracks, no sound, no smell and especially in the off-limits wilderness.  Of course I agree with keeping sleds out of non-motorized areas but enforcement is lacking so many of the younger kids venture in.  Last night I was out and was talking with a 26 yr old who has 3 sleds and rides mostly the Wenatchee area.  I asked him about the wilderness and he said he and his buddies go into it to hit the steep slopes (I forget what peaks he mentioned).  I asked him if he was worried about being caught and he said, yea, it is a pretty steep fine but we never see anyone around to bust us. 
As stated numerous times, w/o enforcement the problems will continue.  Increasing the size of wilderness will not remove the problem, just piss off those who obey the rules and those that don't will continue to go into the forbidden zone.  As I stated numerous times, Mr WMC needs to address the enforcement end, not hammer the folks who play by the rules.



Thank you for getting back to me!!!!

What if boundary and access adjustments made enforcement easier...

For the snowmobile police!!! whew,whew,whew,buzz,buzz,buzz,whew,whew,whew...
It there going to be a snowmobile brigade created from the new Discovery Pass funds? I hope so. My neighbor has spent all summer getting paid to take signs down to put up more "discovery" signs. So cool. I want a government job! I wonder what kind of sirens they will have on the electric snowmobile and if they will be silent sirens? haha. How do you sign up to be a snowmobile police? Is there a web site? Do you have to be a certain height to run a snowmobile? Would I get a gun? I want to give a ticket!! Maybe they will all be happy trail riding and herded into one spot, but then my job would not exist?!! Oh no! Come on poachers! I want to bust you!!!
