Because permit buyers in those areas want to ride from home when ever possible.    That said, I live on a dead end trail that doesn’t get the same snow amounts as those just a bit north. Our club’s trails have become almost land locked at this point with 1/4 mile asphalt runs to make a connection to neighbouring trails. I would be deeply saddened to see these trails go away as I helped with opening and grooming them as a kid in the 70’s.  But if they go away, I can understand why as they won’t make much difference to the system, only impact will be to those who live here.

You can't even spin your tires in a parking lot that's open to public now. If you do and police see it they can charge you with stunt driving. 😂 no more donuts either or same bs. It's getting out of hand now. 

Why try and hold onto trails in areas which basically no longer have any season to do so? Fire at will!

There is also a antique show Sept 6 at Kalinowski Power. It would be their 3rd show I believe   Heard it from a friend so maybe confirm before planning. 

So how many permits is everyone ordering?   I know as little as my second sled will be ridden if it even gets ridden  it will still get a permit.
