It is not speed that creates bumpy, dangerous trails, it is also the volume of traffic and natural weather/terrain.
Go drive up any previously GROOMED "trail" in the spring... it is like a ****ing roller coaster from the snowmobiles. Yipee.
Your tabs go towards road maintnence and 4x4 trail(or lack there of) maintnence, snowmobile tabs go directly to grooming, snopark, and enforcement funds.
Thats fine. Let me pay my $30 bucks and drive on the same "trail" in the winter. Hey, if you wanna bring your snowmobile to the Shoestring in the summer, you may get some funny looks, but your not gonna get a ticket...
They are not telling you, you cannot be on public land, just some public land is reserved for snowmobiling, just as the skiers/hikers/snowshoers have their land.
As I don't own a snowmobile, yes... they are telling me I cannot be on public land...
Think how bad it would get with 4x4's on groomed trails with snowmobiles, it would be a mess! It would also be a waste of grooming because i could see idiots in their stock 4x4's being able to make it up quite a ways on a groomed trail, then getting stuck and causeing a general mess of things.
How would it be a mess?
If snowmobilers would SLOW THE **** DOWN it wouldn't be dangerous
If snowmobilers would take their fingers out of their vaginas and dodge potential "holes" or "ruts" from vehicles, it wouldn't be a problem... or since you have a SNOWMOBILE, get off the ROAD and go ride in the SNOW where people can't DRIVE
Also, the state see's that snowmobiles can ONLY ride 6 months out of the year(for me it can be 9 months+), 4x4's are year round vehicles
COULD be year round, if they gave us ANYWHERE to DRIVE YEAR ROUND
But your tire tracks aren't normal tire tracks, your vehicle is cabable of making 3 foot deep tracks that are 18+ inches wide, riding behind these tracks is dangerous and takes a lot of work, I know from experience
Boo Hoo, it takes alot of work... then ride off of the road where I am not allowed to drive, and the problem is solved...
