First, thank you for the use of your land. I think the majority of sledders appreciate your generosity and show the respect that is so deserved.
Second, I think your views as a both a volunteer and a landowner are widely held. I know they are widely held in my club. We just spent over $500 to put in 2 gates for a landowner to try and keep atvs out his fields, just to protect the sled trail. It’s $500 that could have been better spent on actual trail/grooming improvements. In the new LUP there is the ability to add additional clauses. We are routinely adding the following, “ The club agrees that the permissions granted to it under this agreement can not be assigned to any other user group without the express written consent of the landowner”. It’s seems to be giving landowners some comfort that other groups can not piggy back on the club LUP..
