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.

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.
