    That is absolute b.s. ! I would be placing a call to the County road supervisor to conduct a intense butt chewin he wont soon forget. The problem is.... whats the answer to prevent this from occuring, aside from discontinuing the use of the wing blade....

    I work for a municipality as a plow driver and this can"t always be avoided BUT this is cause by waiting too long to push back. This is the worst I've seen, but all trails had a degree of this this week. This has gone on for three weeks straight in the same spots. Do it once far enough and leave alone until needed. Trying to get county and our snowmobile association to sit down to try to minimize this ongoing problem. We'll see.

    you would think that a simple phone call from the Driver to the snow club to clean up the boulders would be enuff. Simple and cheap solution. Other way arround it is find a totaled out sled take pictures and write a nice letter and threaten to sue. phone call or law suit. i hope they got their heads on strait.
