Trail issues?


Recommended Posts

Any of you other active club/trail workers having a high number of landowner complaints this year, here in NY our club has had numerous trespassing, not staying on marked trail complaints this year and has kept us busy soothing the land owners to keep trails open I have dealt with landowners more this year than I have in the 20 years I have maintained my section, just wondering if it is happening elsewhere.

Yes. 

We also have a person who think they own the right of way the trail uses because their family has owned the land next to it for 25 years.

Snowmobilers are assholes.  This site is a prime example, packed full of assholes.

Ehh, I don't see anyone doing from here doing what's going on in our area,.. Actually had a guy beat the crap out of a park ranger, took off and left him in the woods another group of guys went off trail straight up into someones back yard, tore it up, not like they cut across it, straight up played in their yard, lady came out, they shoved her down and took off. Some wackos out there

I have been confronting every one I see . As has most of the guys in the club . Also taking pics.  Going to put them up with names at the  shelter after checking legality may start posting names with pics on the book of faces

People are complainers. We’ve owned property in northern Michigan for years. I wouldn’t give to fucks if someone drove their sled across it. People are the biggest bunch of cunts anymore. There are daily posts about this on every Facebook sled page.

That's assault to a federal officer and the old lady is trespassing and assault.  Reminds me of those fuckbags in WI that chased down the deer and killed them.

the land owners have every right to bitch, 90% our trails are on private property and without the graciousness of these landowners we would not have a trail system, we will back the landowner over a disrespectful snowmobiler any day. apparently Mi plays by a different set of rules

To a point yes but when it is clearly posted and roped off and they go under the rope and trash a winter wheat field the club is the one who has to pay the farmer .

I'm assuming it's due to the high level of dealer sales and thereby new riders?

I also think it has to do with all the free time this scamdemic has given people, have had more traffic through my area than I have seen in years

This. Plus the waiting in the first part of winter put everyone in the go mode when it finally came.

The ones I never understand out in your hood are the pencil dicks that think ripping across a chisel plowed field at 6-mph with 2" of snirt on it is a good time.
