"We've been granted an incredible benefit here to be able to ski all that terrain and utilize it for walking our dogs, for snowshoeing, for cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, backcountry skiing," says WWA ambassador and Teton Backcountry Alliance co-founder Kim Havell. "It's a real privilege. And if we don't respect it, and we're not each individually ambassadors, then it will get taken away."
Group aims to educate recreators about Teton Pass
localnews8.com
The Teton Pass is one of the most popular spots for backcountry winter recreators. But could it be at risk of getting taken away?The majority of us (skiers, mountain bikers, snowmobilers, climbers, hikers) are pitching in and doing what we can to help steward public lands while the Federal government is shut down. Sadly, there are those few bad apples. "Raging around our public lands breaking all rules is not the way democratic society is supposed to work," writes our friend Marc Peruzzi. "The irresponsible dregs violating our national parks and wilderness areas right now are acting like high school kids throwing a kegger because their parents are out of town. And at this pace, they’re going to destroy the house."

From mountain bikers in California to snowmobilers in Montana, renegade adventurers see the shutdown as a chance to get away with anything. They need to stop.Yikes. Inbounds slide at Taos today.
