Snowmobiles on skyline ridge Why?

smithbrook? really? that piece of crap flat and long road is useful only for wankers who can't figure out how to go uphill in a timely manner. smithbrook is perfect for sno-mo access. that useless approach can be cut down to minutes with a sled.

as for skyline, kind of the same in my opinion. skyline is for everybody. IT'S A ROAD!!!! for sweet baby jesus's sake people. if you're looking for tranquility on skyline, you might as well give up skiing, lock yourself in the bathroom and take three hits of strong LSD. You'll be flying by yourself in no time. i'm more annoyed by giant groups of snowshoers with their rei ice axes and knee length gaiters crapping up my skin track and building giant igloos in the middle of ski runs. at least the sledders smash down the pow for skinning.

While the above represents the utilitarian perspective, others consider aesthetic factors as part of a good day in the mountains...

I agree...nothing spoils the aesthetics of a good sled access day than meeting up with a group of crusty old TAY fuckers with a preachy attitudes awash in self-righteousness..... Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppp.

O, but what about the " tradition"?
If you want backcountry take yourself
to it, and no, not skyline!

I toured up into the mountains with leathers and 3-pins last week to pay my respects. While I was there, two snowmobiles went by poaching (?) a now closed XC ski trail. My feelings were peace and fellowship.

Reading this thread, I am pretty much in agreement. People may not like it, but (if in an area that allows sleds) then they have as much right to enjoy our natural resources as the self-righteous ones on skis.

Exactly why a Winter Travel Management Plan is needed, thanks for providing more support...
