snowmobling on Aspen ski resort?

Maybe I'll give the Forest Service a call.....

Wow, so you'd rather see (and smell, and hear) sledders on your favorite backcountry trails instead of doing their laps under the chairlifts, huh? For someone who claims to be a "backcountry ski bum" you seem to be unaware of some of the implications of what you're saying. I think the expression for that is "he'd cut off his nose to spite his face..."

The ski areas are already a sacrifice zone, frankly I think they should amend the operating permits to allow sledding there after the season, allowing for safety & environmental protections, of course.

Some guys got busted at Breckenridge last year with sleds. Their machines got impounded until they paid their fine.

Stillkicken, if you are truly concerned about back country skiing, why don't you call the Forest Service and voice your opposition to the Aspen Skiing Company's proposed expansion into heavily used side country terrain on the east side of Aspen Mtn. While post ski season sled use is not officially allowed inbounds, your threat to tattle is about the most pathetic thing i've read here in a while. Other than safety concerns, why would anyone care if there are sleds on the Mtn?

I want to rip some ass here but enough said.
GO DO YOUR OWN THING.
I hate that there is so many people out there with such a boring life that they don't have anything else better to do but to screw with other people.

Same problem with people wanting to shut down our rivers. Nobody is hurting anything.
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS PEOPLE

Can we let this die a peaceful death. I don't want to see this access f'ed up. Somebody from Aspen Ski Co and the NFS has probably already scoped it. So lets all let it die already.

Good point. I did not think of that when I first posted.

We have to make sure that skiresort we stay provide all kind of service and hospitality like full airfare, lodging, car rental, and ski school booking capabilities, and gear and advanced lift ticket purchasing, and your ski vacation planning will be as pleasurable as your trip
