Yeah so. I am not going to deny that my lifestyle is pro opinionated to my environmental concerns. So yeah other peoples opinions can be funny like yours.

And I really really think logging has much more environment impact than a trail. Per km there are more logging roads then trail in the elk valley. So why would a single track trail be less environmentally friendly than logging roads that are used by combustable engines, 1 tons, machinery, tractor trailers etc. Not to mention the waste, inefficiencies and destruction that is involved in logging versus a trail that gets maybe a season and half use. I just don’t see your argument. :roll:

People did bitch about Ghost Rider Crossing and Riverside. How could you develop anything in Fernie without an opposition. Take Timber chair for example that was a secret backcountry spot for people to ski, develop a high-speed quad for access and all is gone. And that is skiers opposing skiable terrain.

And its more like 1 of 75 trails.
