I stay off the trails with my wheelers during the sled season, however some years there are lots of wheelers on the trails. Not 100% sure about every trail being open to wheelers in the Winter.

XCR1250 Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Are yours parked all Winter? We have 3 wheelers but I refuse to run them on the trails in the Winter, BUT, it is legal where I am and the businesses encourage/welcome their use. The only time you'll see me on the trails in the Winter is if I'm asked to help with Search & Rescue. Wheeled vehicles are out-selling sleds here 5 to 1 due to the less & less snow now a days with less days in the year to ride sleds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely ever take my sxs out in the winter. we only have about 2 weeks a year where i would feel comfortable driving it across the lake to the bar. I drop the full coverage for when I drive it on the street. When you buy your ORV you have to buy a trail permit as well, lakes or parks it is required. So I can see how there may be SXS owners who feel they are entitled to drive on the trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR1250 Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) We do not need a trail pass (yet). Quite a few wheelers on the lakes here in the Winter, ice fishermen. Last Spring the Local Dealer had over a million dollars in new wheeler inventory, it was all gone 2 months later.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 8, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Happened about 1/4 mile or less from where we were staying. Popo was still on scene when we went by about midnight. Accident happened about 8:30. They just pulled the sled off the lake and the UTV was sitting right below it on the bank. According to the bartender at the place near where we were staying he said the following night it was the sled driver at fault riding on the wrong side of the stakes. Damn a lot of people die at places I'm at riding at. 3-4 out west at Tog and now this guy. Edited March 8, 2021 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a couple of guys died in that as well. The last fatality when I was there was an older guy dropped off the snow bank to the road at the Breccia cliffs crossing. Been a few years since I've been out. Edited March 8, 2021 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
