| Everybody should learn to play nice and share! Newer users to recreational resources are often targeted (like mountain bikers were at my local park), usually by exsisting users who have just as much or more impact (dog walkers and fishermen for example).
Seems to me that side/backcountry is pretty low impact, and have much less impact then the ski area they are adjacent to. There are alot of woods out there, probably more than there was 100 years ago. Wouldn't it be more productive to focus on the sprawling residential and commercial developement, instead hassling a few powder addicts. |
