Badger** Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) Lets see if we can get some snowmobiling posting going on here I am getting worn out with politics its at every turn. Give me a good snowmobile story. About three years ago I was running a trail in Northern Wi over by Summit lake. I stopped to look around took off again came across some X-skiers they flipped me off so I stopped and ask hey whats up?? He starting yelling about the snowmobilers thinking they go to fast they think they own all the land and are to loud bla bla bla?? I told them these trail are part of the Wi snowmobile system and are marked for snowmobiling in the winter. Well they kept yelling about snowmobilers when they finished I looked at them and gave them name and told them to get the fawck off my land!! You should have seen their faces the one guy pipes in and says he lives just down the road. I promptly told them I don't give a fawck get off my land!! and no they were not my neighbors just tree huggers IMO. Well I did my part now they really hate snomobilers.

soupkid Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Its scary as fuck to come around a corner and have a skier/walker/ATV/anything in front of you, even at posted trail speed let alone above that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some trails are multi use trails and if you're on one of those multi use trails you really need to be on the look out for other users. Right or wrong, if snowmobilers don't respect the right of others to be on the trail and their safety I don't imagine it will be long before that multi use trail is closed to snowmobiles. I know when I see people out on one of these trails, often as a family or with their dog I slow right down and give them a wide berth as I pass. They appreciate it and wave. Then I see others that fly past without moving over or slowing down. They throw chunks of snow from their tracks at the people and usually get the finger from the people. To slow down for the seconds it takes to pass other users of the trail is just the right thing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the trails in mt area are sled only but it doesn't seem to stop other users from using them. We had on trail that actually went through a farmers barn yard, had to watch for cows, pigs horses. if you where in a group you had to watch for frozen flying turds if you where not the lead sled.

C206D is an open road allowance and can be used by anyone, even a truck on the groomed trail as well as no permit required. Actually you should pull those prescribed trail signs, it cannot legally be a prescribed trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post. My land is not multi use in the winter and in Wisconsin does not have a day light speed limit. All my land is open to snowmobiling all 5200 acres in northern Wi.

I do try to share my land with the people of WI for hunting fishing and walking hell even Skiing but they have to respect my right to say where they can go. And yes before you jump all over may ass I do get a tax break for leaving it open but I still have the right to where and how my land can be used.

After discussion at the district level it was deemed as a road open to vehicles just like many other roads such as the same trail north of pine falls that is sometimes plowed. The end result was there was really nothing we could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put up signs at each end saying road closed during winter. It is however used as a snowmobile trail. I have been told that the OPP can charge you for driving on a closed road and that there are apparently insurance implications for knowingly driving on a closed road.
