Essay Topic: With so much new technology in the Snowmobile / Snow Bike / Winter Motorized industry, we are going places we never imagined 50 years ago. Consequently, some are going places they are not supposed to go. We have a trespassing problem i.e. wilderness, wildlife winter range, private and non-motorized areas. Although these are “Rogue Events”, it affects everyone. The end result is “Trail and Area Closures”. That said, even though we were not the offender, we need to come up with and incorporate solutions to the problem at hand.
Essay Challenge: Below is a list of traditional methods that have been used in the past to attempt to solve the problem. Please expound on each one by sharing your thoughts, both the Pros and Cons. Now, share with us some brand new ideas that will help minimize these incursions and keep our trails and areas open for the next generations to come.
1. Through Law Enforcement.
2. Through Self-Policing.
3. Through Education.
4. Through Advertisement.
Essays will be judged on depth of content, clarity, organization and persuasiveness.
