I was told by the snowmobile club today that the grooming for McDermott Creek has been paid for by Powder Cowboy but timing to get it done with club volunteers has taken a while. The club does good work but its often hard with good but limited volunteers available. I’m not sure what you mean by “Island Lake policy towards riders and locals in general” but again if you would like to discuss it, I am available.

Hello Rednck

Certainly an interesting view of how Island Lake Lodge and Powder Cowboy are to blame for Thunder Meadows getting trashed.

As manager of Island Lake I find your comments particularly interesting. You are correct that Powder Cowboy has either paid to groom McDermott Creek or has used their snowcat to groom access into it in the past. I think it was 2 years ago when the Fernie snowmobile club bought a cat of their own and we simply donated the $ to the club to groom McDermott. Now that it has been brought to my attention I will check with the manager of Powder Cowboy and the Fernie Snowmobile club to see where it is at and to see if the ball has been dropped. Next time a phone call to our office might work quicker than leaving it on a blog site and waiting for somebody to call me to let me know.

If you have any questions please call or send me a note.
