I've got a few takers and one made a large donation. If this takes off I may need a couple of other guides to help Westmont, Scott, Wingnut? It should be a lot of fun!

I suggest you break this out and START A NEW FUNDRAISING THREAD
This notice is buried deep in this thread.

Okay ,
the lawsuit hs been filed and is headed to the courts

We need to collect at least $10,000 dollars for our help in the effort

the Missoula Snowgoers Snowmobile Association (MSSA) has set up an account for this.

MSSA
Po Box 2441
Missoula, 59801

Please make checks payable to MSSA

We will take anything you can give every penny counts

This is a huge area that is affected from Lolo Pass to StRegis Montana
and all idaho play areas in between.
If you have ridden this you know why we dont want to loose it.
If you never have ridden it lets fight to keep the greenies from taking one more riding area away.
This closure affects many others as well, all of those that rely on our gas , food , lodging , spare parts etc will loose as well.

If you read the closure you will see not just sleds are out but mountain bikes as well ,, Yet they reopened some Motor Cycle trails. The way this closure was done makes it one we can win, and get reversed.
But we need your help.

below is some information on the lawsuit

PM me if you have any questions
Thank You

I cant thank you all enough

also as of now they still havent replaced the maps or signs showing this as closed
so that could be seen as a plus for us

I just donated $50. If I can get up there this winter I will take you up on your offer. This issue spreads beyond ID/MT. This effects all of us that ride. So, donate and stop this from happening.
 
Almost there
after our sled show and auction in Missoula we are almost to the
$10,000 dollar commitment we made to help in the fight
between the show and donations made by members here we are doing well

please keep the funds coming and check out the snowwarrior web page

Snow warriors is just about sledding closures and the fight to leep them open

Scott;
I'm the new region 9 Director for the Montana Snowmobile association. I got a bunch of Tee shirts and wrist bands for the Sled Warrior program. The sale of these items goes to the Idaho State Snowmobile Assc. to fight the federal law suits. They are leading our fight both in Idaho and Montana.
The Tees go for $20 and the wrist bands go for $5 The Tees are black in color with the Sled Warrior logo. The bands are white with Black lettering. Right now I have med, large,extra large and 2 extra large. If I don't have someones size I can contact Sandra Mitchell from Idaho and she can direct ship them to the person. I'll have to figure out the shipping depending on where they are shipped to.
Thanks Ron A.

Scott;
Sandra Mitchell said that I can sell the Tee's for $20 bucks that includes shipping. Unless they live in Russia or some other far away place.
Ron
