animals to calmly move away.
Make every effort to minimize disturbance.

A few simple guidlines: |
|
-
Respect the animals and their
habitat, do not approach them or
follow tracks. If you come upon
animals, try to go around at a safe
distance or shut your machine down
until they leave the area.
-
Stay out of restricted areas and use
only the trails marked in the open
areas. This allows the animals to
avoid or adapt to the use areas and
the travel corridor. The club had
worked hard to keep this mountain
open and depends upon your
cooperation for it to remain open
for snowmobiling.
-
The trap line trail through the Fire
Pit area is for use only by the
registered trapper who owns the
line. Do not follow any tracks into
this area.
All snowmobilers must comply with the
recommended guidelines if this program
is to continue to be successful and the
areas to remain open. |

Sale
Mountain Snowmobile Agreement
The Revelstoke
Snowmobile Club entered into an agreement with other users of
Sale Mountain, for a closure by agreement of areas used by them.
|
SALE MOUNTAIN TRAIL DESCRIPTION
|
 The
cabin area is used by a group of Nordic
Skiers and the cabin is privately
owned.
The tenure area on the map is leased by
Selkirk Tangiers Heli-skiing and we ask
snowmobilers to respect that area.
National Park's boundary is at the
height of the land south of the bowl
below the cabin. Snowmobiling in Mt.
Revelstoke National Park is not
permitted.
Sale is a wintering area for caribou and
the same guidlines apply as on
Frisby and Keystone, respect the animals
and their habitat. Do not follow tracks
or approach animals.
The club asks that you respect the
efforts made to keep this area open to
snowmobiling.
Only through your cooperation will it
remain open. |
