Accomodation services is owned by deboer, who continues to try to close the brundage area to snowmobilers.
When I was up there The McCall chamber of commerce gave over 85 percent of their Idaho Tourism Council moneys (state funds) to DeBoer owned businesses limited to Accomodation services and Brundage Mountain. The Brundage ads are all paid mostly by tax dollars, siphoned through the Chamber of Commerce. I understand that still continues. It is so obnoxious, there is a "Payette Mountains Tourism Council" or some such which takes mccall moneys and spreads it around to other areas so it can be spent on non-Brundage activities.
The managers at Burgdorf hates sledders, ***** about trail maintenance, and are famous for driving their cars on groomed trails.
May hardware is owned by people who imposed the boating limits on Payette Lake.
The Evans Hardware store in Eagle, is owned by DeBoer.
==============================
Cheap thrills is by far the largest business supporter of sledders in the entire area. They give the most money, they give the most support, they give the most time. Obviously they have the highest vested interest, but they for sure pay their fair share, plus a bunch.
The owners of the Winter Inn in Warren love sledders.
The old Tamarack Resort actually supported snowmobiling surprisingly well. Sure they wanted land, sure they made some mistakes, but they never broke their word, and they tried hard to get along with sledders and to make money off of sledders the old fashioned way - by providing good service.
The owners of the Pancake house and Vigilantes support sledders.
Hinson's of course supports sleds.
The manager at Bruneel Tire does a LOT for sledders up there.
The owners of Krahn's donate a LOT of time and energy to the program.
Lardos supports sledders.
All of the gas stations like sledders for obvious reasons, but Jim's Grocery has probably done the most to quietly support sledders. His is the first store on the right kind of near the Pancake House.
I believe all hotels are now owned by Bob Hunt a true believer in tourists no matter their background. For sure he likes sledders.
The Shorelodge is owned by people who STAUNCHLY fight for snowmobile rights. Prices have come way down, service is way up, and they TOTALLY WELCOME snowmobilers.
Blackhawk is owned by folks who want tourists, and have helped snowmobilers and skiers alike. A neat area to have a cabin also as you can ride from your cabin.
There is a restaurant at the skating rink who has donated stuff to the program. Good food too, fairly cheap.
