Your input requested on sightings of snowmobiles or tracks in and around the Rainbow Lake/Mount Sproatt area.
The Recreation and Conservation Committee has been working with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to keep sledders out of the non-motorized areas of 21 Mile Creek/Mount Sproat/Rainbow Lake. Recently, the Ministry appointed Canadian Snowmobile Adventures to collect a $20 per snowmobile fee to use the area. It is hoped that users will be informed of the non-motorized boundaries by CSA staff. Additionally, more signs with improved maps have been promised by the Ministry. An article in the Whistler Question provides further information.
With this new approach it is all the more important for self-propelled users to report motorized use in the area. Please fill out the21 Mile Creek User Survey when you recreate in the area as the data collected will be shared with the Ministry.
