Stay on the edges-it's still early and theres snow insulating the ice-BE Safe!!
We encourage our members to review this information and hopefully this will help you make an informed decision. This type of trail dedication could have some significant impacts to those of us who do motorized use of these trails along this route. Please consider signing the petition to stop federal overreach on our loved trails! The trail would dissect an area with a large amount of current motorized access to state and private lands that no doubt would be compromised if the US Congress chose to designate it as a National scenic trail.
If they designate the Alaska Long Trail as a National Scenic trail this will include any connection to trails like Petersville, Willow, South Denali, Big Lake, Eklutna, and Jim Creek. Although this doesn’t touch our Lake Louise trails, it could impact you if you want to ride the trails mentioned above in the future.

We need to be more conscience of other on coming riders on the trails. We've had two complaints of some near misses on the first 3 miles of Tolsona trail of riders meeting on the blind hills and curves. We want to remind people to stay right when going around corners and over hills when there is reduced visibility.
There is also a runway, near the north beach on Lake Louise near the west lake loop and one on Lake Susitna marked with tree limbs. These folks are asking for riders to respect the fact airplanes are landing on them and ask riders not to race down them, or leave trenches with fast starts. Very dangerous for a pilot. Crossing them is fine.
1. Keep right at all times. Trails have two-way traffic with limited visibility sight lines, often a narrow path though the forest or brush. Pay attention to how tight or wide the trail path is and how far you can see on-coming traffic.
2. A basic rule is to always be able to stop your sled within the distance you can see. Do not overdrive your ability to see what is around the corner, or over the hill.
3. Expect on-coming traffic at all times. Others will be using the same path, coming from the opposite direction. Do not stop directly on the trail, instead, pull off to the side of the trail to allow safe passage for others.
4. Operate your snowmobile only in areas and on land where it is legal to do so. Just because you see tracks going off the trail does not indicate it is safe or legal to do so.
5. Never exceed your own capability or comfort level. Allow your skill and comfort level to grow with your experience and knowledge. While riding a snowmobile can be exhilarating it can also be dangerous, as most any form of recreation is at speed.
6. Do not ride alone. Always let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return.
7. Most snowmobile accidents occur at night, with excess speed, and often times on frozen surfaces or with alcohol involved. Safe riders stay sober, avoid frozen surfaces, stay on the designated trail and do not exceed safe speeds.
We need people to step up and help as operators. Contact Harry Holt if you would like to help. Great opportunity to learn in our new machine!
Special thanks go out to club member, Rob Williams for doing all the needed maintenance on Big Foot this fall. Our plan is to begin first week in January.

DownloadWas formed in 1994 by founding member, Tree Farmer, as a way to streamline the area's grooming efforts. The Club's first duties were directed at helping the Copper Basin 300 Sled Dog Race with the Lake Louise portion of their race trails. Our responsibilities grew over the years as more volunteers and members helped the Club grow into a non-profit organization responsible for almost 200 miles of winter trails in the Lake Louise and Copper River area.
