Possibly, but if you don't get the trails back up and useable what do you do the next time they come with the reductions?  Our club closed a trail across a number of old order Mennonite farms. Those farmers were given a nice letter telling them whats going on and that we won't be putting a trail through their farm as well, they were given the pair of work gloves that had been ordered for them last spring. Might be tough to get approval back with some of them. If we do, then comes the fun of trying to get the trail staked and signed.  On another note permit sales in our district are way up to the end of November.

Nope groomer reductions are shelved, restore everything that can possibly restored back to where it was last season.  I think a lot of clubs/districts will see some stuff that likely shouldn't bother being restored, in the name of being able to better service higher traffic trails. 

Got to respect the honesty there. Lol. 

LOL - I do not recall those choice of words the forest has used in the past about conditions, new sleds, a sled you baby... lol   

WOW - that is quite the 360 from the initial direction. It was talked about the needed funding from the province to keep things moving in a better direction, especially with the impact sledding has to our province. Could have still done with a permit increase though.......cannot recall what the shortfall was going to be without the permit increase, I think around 5 mil coincidentally...... Not a complaint, but it sure would have made more sense to have this known a few months ago - typical government I guess, backwards way of doing things that just causes conflicts and encourages a bad frame of mind.
