Saw this last week on the guy's property across from Krupps' mini mart. There are two "no snowmobile" signs along the trail and there's tracks all over the place...
Absolutely especially after reading the comments by the manager of the mountain. If he was tackling snowmobilers that were rolling in the parking lot, then this issue would be even larger. He would be pushing to close the trail and making a bigger ordeal out of this whole mess.
Bottom line is use your head. Stay on the trail and respect others who share our same joy for winter, just in a different fashion.
This is a rediculous response,and i find it hard to believe the sledders were "tackled and assaulted". I'm calling BS on this.......[/QUOTE]

X2....... seems to me that the owners are being very rational about the whole situation. Pretty simple stay on the trail please. The last thing I need is more people to take up off trail/backcountry riding. Staying on the trails=open trails which means less people off trail
This is the way it is at most ski hills. I'm not sure what's hard to understand about it?
Driving a car on road when sleds around is about the same to me as seeing deer appear on the shoulder. Slow down & put your D driving skills on the field. Happened to me today with sleds crossing FR. No idea if they knew I was there but I know trail jogs at this spot on road for 100 yards so brought it down about 5mph & sure enough they turned in front of me but no big deal just stopped & waved them across. I ride so know beelers may have limited visabilty in helmet so no big deal for me to be more careful when sleds around. Beelers bring big bucks to area so I'm cool with a few mistakes which may seem like HUGE mistakes to others. Trespassing that is unlawful no matter what the sport or mode of transportation. Just not acceptable anywhere or anytime.
boy, i hope that is a joke! snowmobile riders are like deer in the road now? that is absurd.
if the helmet is limiting your visibility for stop signs, highway crossings, no trespassing signs...then it is time to turn in the tracks for something safer like a tricycle. Folks that dont know that they are driving down the middle of the lane opposing traffic, not an honest mistake. somebody that crosses a highway (or stop sign after stop sign crossing driveways doing 60mph) is as intentional as the fool that rips up a ski hill...and as dangerous to the future of this and other freedoms we have.
to make excuses for any of this is simply absurd.
not only am i provider of lodging who wants sleds to come, i also live here and desperately want folks to come and enjoy, learn to love it here, and hopefully move here. we need new people and i am one of the biggest advocates for that. but to those that think that rules dont apply here in the north...stay home.

To fix stupid
The first thing is its up to us as snowmobilers to grow up, I spend one week here every year
and let me tell you if I find the guys that did that they might get a little tast of how we Handel
A__ holes in Chicago .im sure it would be hard to find little bits of people cut up in wood chippers
The guys that did it know who the r and I'm sure if the want to talk about it we can meet in Houghton under the bridge,
With about 200 real snowmobilers the one thing I know is that snowmobilers r some of the best people in the world
But if you mess with r sport we can turn on you quick so I'll be there at 5 pm any one care to join me lol

Holy crap......If you rent the chipper make sure you wash it out good before you return it...It seems to me i read about someone doing this,but got caught because he didn't wash it out good enough.
maybe i am taking things too serious but i cannot believe what i just read. last year i watched a thread with multiple posts about killing and causing physical harm to people that tourtured deer, now we are going to do the same to a tresspasser?
i think both the deer and the tresspass thing are bad..and their are laws to deal with these things and they should be utilized. to consider (or even joke about) killing or harming a human for either is something i cannot just walk away from without comment.
i hope it was a joke (i am sure it probably was). it worries me that nobody else found this in poor judgement.

No.......it's ok. They deserve to ride where ever they want! (yes, sarcasm) Every year, several times a year we hear about these
douche bags feeling the need to go off trail and wreck it for the ones that ARE responsible riders! I don't blame anyone or any
group that shuts down portions of trails that go through their property if it is improperly used. Man, this is a hot button for me!
It's called "respect", get some.

What about all the respectful, responsible, model snowmobilers that leave the trail and rip up miles of power lines, crossing and trespassing multiple private property parcels. Would this group or persons be looked as "acceptable trespassing" because no damage done or be included with these yahoo's that tore up the ski hill ?
