LOLO zone ID
I'll be honest, I didn't believe that there 'are not a lot of burns' in the Lolo units, but now I can't believe how few fires there were over the past 20 years especially north of highway 12. Makes sense though with the cedar/hemlock forest and, as you mentioned, the persistent snowpack. Sure... -

S. 1695: Human Powered Travel in Wilderness Act
Personal opinion, bikers would dramatically increase use on areas that are already over used, the main river corridor. There's an existing issue with people not cleaning up after themselves. Already enough outfitter conflicts. Its not national park level trashed, but I wouldn't consider the...- sapperJ24

As one who often posts links in response, thanks for taking a look at them. And thank you for sharing your skepticism courteously. Unfortunately I don't have answers for you, just more links.

"Older adults exposed to high levels of lead before the 1980s are showing signs of cognitive decrements as a result of long-term lead exposure in their communities. The participants were between the ages of 50 and 70 years old...- sapperJ24

It would get messy quick. The already overused mainstem trails with bikers headed in is a recipe for disaster, both for the resource and for users.- sapperJ24

Found this guy last winter. age??
Found this guy last winter outside of town, I figured he was past his prime and on the down turn based on the mass and number of tines. Based on some recent threads, I'm wondering if he ever had it in him (the area isn't known for good genetics). I thought the teeth were pretty worn and guessed...- sapperJ24
