ecarnell Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 That has to have been written “pre leaked” 14/28 day lockdown (from yesterday afternoon) starting dec 24th, but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sksman Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 So to be clear we can get on a plane and fly to Jamaica, Cuba or Mexico for a party filled week but we cannot drive and snowmobile as we are putting to many people at risk? Or we still allow air travel from hot zones and allow cases of Covid into the country regularly? Something is wrong in this country and it begins with our Political leaders. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamforlife Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) It will be like the old days before trails!! We used to take out the map and bust trails into all kinds of places.....loved every minute of it!! Gotta try and make the best of it.

snowman Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 We will see how many people really give a crap what they say. I for one will be out riding regardless what the F$%$ they say (lots of areas around here to ride, most of the spots i have been riding for 40 years, and my father another 10 years before that. Way before there were groomed trails). I fish and hunt for food, so they would not be able to stop that i am thinking. I do respect private land, but there are many who don't and this year will be the worst for our sport. Also looking at the fact that so many new people coming into the sport that overpaid on their sleds...I don't think it is going to be a good year for private property owners sadly. I hope i am wrong.

Even if sledders want to unlawfully ride the trails, they will be breaking laws by opening locked gates, and I cann,t imagine how crappy the trails would be, with zero grooming. And then consider the liability issues. NOT GOING TO BE A GOOD WINTER FOR HONEST LAW ABIDING SLEDDERS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manotickmike Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Gambled and didn't sell the sleds when the market was hot. That'll teach me to get emotionally invested in an activity controlled by a government. Let's face it, we all saw this coming when they offered trail passes months early this year. Barring a miracle, this sport will go the way of windsurfing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topnotch Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 And if the clubs aren't allowed to prep the next 14 days it be much longer until the north is ready to have trails.. We should find out this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 10 hours ago, tricky said: Do you mean the small minority who may catch Covid 19? Or the smaller ones that will get sick, or seriously sick and hospitalized, or suffer life long damage to their neurological system, circulatory system, respiratory system, or sight, or the very small group of over 6K Canadians who have died? Or do you include those who are having scheduled surgeries of all kinds canceled because the hospitals need the beds for Covid 19 patients. Or are you including the small army of medical practitioners who are getting completely drained from seeing people die by themselves. By comparison "snowmobilers", and I am a diehard, are a "small minority". The small minority that are at greatest risk of death, what the catch phrase has been for C-19.....save a life. Vs. those that "test positive" but are able to continue with life or sick in bed for a few days or a week, similar to what we have all done for many many years come flu season. Do we know for a fact what the long term affects are, or just speculation (has to be seeing as this a "new" strain).....will we know in 6 months 12 months, 2 years, 5 years, etc...... I guess we need to stop everyone's life until we know and as long as the government can continue to say we are in a "pandemic", they can do as they wish whenever they want based on the pressures or the loudest voices. The deaths are not 6000, they are just over 4000 as of yesterday and the disturbing part is we have no idea if the 4000 that died, really died of C-19....the fact is if a person dies or was already on their death bed, then tests positive for C-19, it is a C-19 death. My mom that passed away late 2019 would have likely been in the C-19 death number if she has just survived a few more months, but I know for a fact that it would have been cancer that killed her. Does it suck that some hospitals are near capacity or over, yes it does, but this time of year the hospitals are usually busier anyways. Does it suck that people who need to have non C-19 procedures done cannot, 100% it does, are some using C-19 as a political tool, of course they are, not all, but you know it is happening, just look around at the fears of the what if. People that decide to go in the medical field, police field, fire, etc.....do so knowing that they will be exposed to things that many rather not, but that is part of the profession that they decided to get into. I sympathize with them and what they can be exposed too, but I also know that is the field they picked that could expose them to these things. We are a small minority for sure in the grand picture, as are many other things, but lets look at this past Summer, outdoor activities saw a huge spike, yet the numbers were at their lowest to date. According to what you might read, it is not the stores or restaurants where the spread is happening. But lets shut everything down...... Here are a couple charts of deaths and deaths by age group to visualize the numbers and where those at greatest risk fall, which goes back to what many had said, protect those at greatest risk: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
