Senator Udall Wilderness Proposal
Senator Udall has announced a wilderness proposal that would include land in Eagle, Pitkin, Summit and Chaffee counties. This work is supposedly independent of the Hidden Gems campaign but includes some of the same areas. Now is the time to contact Senator Udall and express your discontent for wilderness. Please send a polite letter through the link below. The more letters the more conflict he must work through for the bill to pass.
Safe City Youth Leadership Team Ride
The Holy Cross Powder Hounds teamed up with Nova Guides and CSA to take several inner city kids out of the city and snowmobiling in Camp Hale. This group of kids earned the privileged of riding on sleds provided by Nova Guides. Lance Trujillo, Gusty Kanakis and Dean Johnson donated their time to guide the group. Thank you Steve Pittel and Nova Guides for providing a huge discount on the rental of the sleds during a busy period on President's day.
Thanks to Chris Burandt for joining us for a great time at 4 Eagle Ranch!

Hidden Gems Wilderness Campaign
Are you ready to lose thousands of acres of riding area? The areas that we have been riding for decades and that have been ridden by our family's for generations are at risk! A well funded and organized group is working hard to come in and change areas that we use to be completely non-motorized and non accessible by any means other than foot. This will impact winter activities, business that thrive from access to the back country by motorized means, access by children and elderly, hunting activities and the list goes on and on.
Help us fight back and keep these areas that should be available to all people. Visit the White River Forest Alliance. This is a group of people that are snowmobile and back country enthusiasts. We are not trying to keep anyone out of the forest and nobody should keep us out either!

Hidden Gems Wilderness Campaign
The map below (click for larger image) is a draft of the proposed Hidden Gems Wilderness. Just in our area alone, this plan would have a huge impact on the Lower Piney area, Homestake valley, and several acres in the Flat Tops.
