The backcountry terrain across the city of McCall, Idaho, is really fairly outstanding. There are nice areas for touring, nice areas for cat snowboarding, nice areas for gate-accessed backcountry terrain (via the Brundage Mountain ski lifts), and nice areas for snowmobiling. However these actions shouldn’t all the time intermix.
Backcountry snowboarding in an space with snowmobilers can wind up fairly harmful, or at the very least fairly not-fun. Snowmobile tracks which might be greater than a day previous wind up powerful and icy, and wind up as a brutal booby-trap for skiers and snowboarders. So the city of McCall, the Nationwide Forest Service, and Brundage Mountain have labored to supply particular, non-motorized zones for backcountry skiers. With that, they’ve launched the idea of the 4 R’s of Accountable Recreation, and whereas this video is tailor-made to recreators in and round McCall, it actually can apply to any winter recreators throughout the nation.
The 4 R’s of Accountable Recreation:
Respect different customers
Respect laws
Recreate safely
Resist the urge
Not a nasty checklist to remember whereas out having fun with the mountains. If all of us do our half to remain protected and accountable, we are able to all proceed to have a good time whereas making the most of nice snow.
