I am a member of all 3 and you should be too if you ride in these areas. I also have recently joined the Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming State associations because I ride there too.

Every little bit will help to save our sledding areas, so join up. Also the periodicals you get from joining these organizations will keep you informed on what is going on in each state.

For people that do not have any avalanche gear. Cascade Toboggan is having a sale on their personal avalanche kit which includes either a Ortovox X1 or Ortovox M2 or a Pieps DSP beacon, a Voile Telepro shovel, a Voile Tourlight probe, a Cascade Bladesling and waterproof probe case. All for only $290 with the X1 or $300 with the M2 and $370 with the DSP. This a great price for the package and is about the same price you would pay for just the beacons elsewhere.
