Help for Roger Ashcraft
We are Roger Ashcraft’s family, and right now he is in the ICU at UCHealth Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs.

After spending the winter in North Carolina, Roger and Mona packed up and began their journey back home to Alaska. Their plan was to drive to Seattle, ship their truck on the Matson barge, and fly to Anchorage. Along the way, they stopped in Colorado Springs to visit someone very special to them, Mikaelle Pastana-Towns, who is like a daughter to them.

On March 13th, Roger began feeling weak and said it was getting hard to walk. By Saturday morning, his condition worsened, his speech became slurred, and he could no longer walk. Today, he is unable to speak, but he is aware, present, and able to communicate with hand signals. He has been extremely fatigued, and his breathing became increasingly difficult.

After extensive testing, doctors ruled out a stroke and diagnosed him with Guillain Barre’ Syndrome specifically the Miller Fisher syndrome variant. Roger is currently in the ICU, receiving critical care.

Our goal now is to bring him home to Alaska, to the ICU at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, where he can be surrounded by family, friends, and the support system that means everything to him. We truly believe that being close to loved ones will help restore his spirit and strength during this fight. Unfortunately, transporting Roger will require a medical flight, which is extremely costly reaching tens of thousands of dollars.

We are asking for help to cover:

• Emergency medical flight transportation to Alaska

• Ongoing medical expenses

• Travel and support costs for family during this time.

Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing this page. It means more than we can express.

Roger is a strong, deeply loved man, and we are committed to getting him home where he belongs.

Thank you for your prayers, support, and kindness during this incredibly difficult time.

Every contribution brings us closer to helping Roger, our deeply loved Papa, in a meaningful way, and we are deeply grateful for your generosity!

If this is true this is huge!

President Trump rescinded Executive Orders 11644 (1972) and 11989 (1977) on May 29, 2026, via a new executive order titled “Removing Unnecessary and Counterproductive Restrictions on Access to Federal Lands.” This action directly affects management of off-road vehicles (ORVs) on federal public lands, and snowmobiles qualify as ORVs under the original orders because they are motorized vehicles capable of cross-country travel on snow and other terrain.

Quick Background on the Original Executive Orders
EO 11644 required federal agencies (primarily BLM, U.S. Forest Service, and others) to designate specific areas and trails where ORVs (including snowmobiles) could be used, while minimizing damage to resources, wildlife harassment, user conflicts, and impacts on natural/scenic values.

EO 11989 (which amended the first) strengthened this by authorizing immediate closures of areas or trails if ORV use was causing or likely to cause “considerable adverse effects” on soil, vegetation, wildlife, habitat, or cultural resources. It also supported a “closed unless designated open” approach in some cases.

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙨, 𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨/𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨. Environmental and non-motorized recreation groups often cited them to push for limits on snowmobiling and other motorized winter use.

Potential Impacts on Snowmobiling and Access to Riding Areas
The rescission does not immediately reopen closed areas or rewrite every travel plan overnight. Instead, it directs agencies (Interior/BLM, Agriculture/USFS, etc.) to start rulemakings that rescind or revise the old implementing regulations and shift to management under existing statutes like the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and agency-specific multiple-use mandates. The administration argues that modern technology (better monitoring, mapping, etc.) and current laws make the 50-year-old criteria outdated and overly restrictive.

Likely positive effects for snowmobilers (per the administration and pro-access groups):

𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚-𝙪𝙨𝙚 —
Future travel management plans and oversnow vehicle designations may prioritize recreational opportunities more equally alongside conservation, rather than defaulting to strict “minimization” of impacts or user conflicts.

𝙁𝙚𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨 —
The old “considerable adverse effects” trigger for quick closures is removed at the EO level, potentially making it harder for agencies to close riding areas solely on vague environmental or social criteria.

𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 — This could lead to expanded designated areas/trails, especially in national forests and BLM lands where most snowmobiling occurs (very relevant in Idaho near Idaho Falls, with areas like the Caribou-Targhee or Sawtooth National Forests). Pro-access organizations like the Off-Road Business Association and BlueRibbon Coalition see this as a major win for modernizing management and reducing barriers to recreation.

𝙍𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙣 — Snowmobile clubs and riders may have stronger footing in public comment periods during plan revisions.

𝙊𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙢𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙗𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙨.

Snowmobilers in Idaho and other Western states with large federal land holdings are likely to see the biggest long-term benefits in terms of riding areas and opportunities, assuming agencies follow through on the policy shift toward balanced multiple-use management. If you're involved with local snowmobile clubs, now would be a good time to engage in upcoming agency rulemakings and forest plan updates.
