MT Jefferson CLOSED

montanasledhead · Sep 24, 2013

At the MSA meeting this month we were told the Forest circus closed all of MT Jefferson
they were sick of sledders going into the north section that has been closed for a while
Nice they had a public comment period
:redface::mmph:

At some point enough is enough. If the feds are going to be hostile to us then screw their rules, boundaries, and whatever else they force down us from the likes of DC, Manhattan, and San Francisco. If they won't listen to us then why should we listen to them!

montanasledhead · Sep 27, 2013

Mt Jefferson closed

I think a quick call to ISSA would settle this.

montanasledhead · Sep 29, 2013

give ISSA a call
Howard was at our last meeting
MT Jefferson is in Montana at least the one im talking about

Robbie · Sep 30, 2013

Mt Jefferson Closed

ISSA is taking the lead on this situation. Mt. Jefferson is accessed mainly from Idaho.

montanasledhead · Sep 30, 2013

ISSA has to have Montana start the litigation,
just as we are supporting them on the Greatburn (all in Idaho), we are not on the lawsuit.
We have to be careful how this is done , if it gets in persons like judge Maloy's court were screwed.
the think on this one that is bull is there was no comment period on this and Tester from Montana promised he would work with us on this as part of his job bill for logging and such , hard to believe a polititian lied to us.
Two weeks ago at our State meeting Howard from ISSA didnt even know this was closed.
This is a good example where we ALL need to make noise
Mt Jefferson is a major Corridor for sledders to get from Island Park to Montana riding areas and vise versa
make sure your all members of SAWS , BRC, Sledwarriors(idaho) , and your state sled club
many dont realize the money that the state club has for fighting closures
in Idaho the back country is supported by Sledwarriors
We need to have Howard from ISSA get Sandra Mitchel on here she is their public land guru and knows her stuff

A group of 11 of us (5 dads / 6 sons) from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada just booked the Huckleberry Lodge the week after Presidents day (Feb 17-22). It is on the north end of Island Park on highway 20 by the Chevron Station on the east right corner (approx. mile marker 394).

We were told that we are close to west Yellowstone, Two Top & Lion's gate.

We usually ride Cooke City this time if the year, but we heard good things about this area. We are not interested in riding trails, only to get to the back country

Any feedback would be much appreciated. Such as..... access to back country, trail passes, any other info.

Thank you in Advance!

has there been any public acknowledgement of this by the forrest circus at all? Or did they just go and do it knowing the stupid ***** who is our new secretary of the interior would support it without question?

cat4life · Oct 6, 2013

I sure hope someone is wrong here ...... i have a cabin i rent there all winter and spend half my week riding mt jefferson .......

montanasledhead · Oct 7, 2013

we had a representative of Steve Daines at the last state meeting he actually was the one to let us know that Senator Tester did not support the use of MT JEfferson as he has stated in the past
there may have been some local comment time but nothing was posted for the general public
Start making calls and making noise about this
wonderning if im right or not will not help open the area again
all i can pass on is the facts we got at the state sled meeting
the west yellowstone and livingston guys all seemed to know about it
as well .

Older & Wiser · Oct 7, 2013

No big surprise on Tester, he is not going to support sledding. He will lie to get votes then do what he wants. I dont know why the people of Montana keep voting for that Demo dumb-***.

paulharris · Oct 10, 2013

another wake up call for sledders to get involved....but most still don't care. Just a few can't do all the work, it takes numbers.

Look at the numbers on the forums.....4 people browsing the land use forum, 567 browsing the polaris forum trying to decide what pipe to buy. soon it won't matter what pipe you have because there will be no place to ride.

Dogmeat · Oct 10, 2013

So has there been any official acknowledgement of this yet?
