Black Mountain Off-Road Adventure Area
Hello Everyone! Well the end of another year is in sight. Here at the Black Mountain Off Road Adventure Area we are making big plans for the upcoming year with new trails and projects. While we dislike having to increase our prices we find it a necessity to do so to improve and expand. Effective January 1, 2014 the price for permits will be as follows:

Yearly (Visitors) : $50.00 (includes a free map)
Yearly: (Local- valid official I.D. required)- $40.00
Family Plan: 1st Vehicle- $50.00. 2nd- $40.00 and each additional- $35.00
31 Day: $30.00

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and hope that you understand this price increase is for the advancement and expansion of the area. We will continue to strive to provide a quality place to ride with a family environment.

Thank You
Black Mountain Offroad Adventure Area Staff

Here we go again everybody gonna start whining bout the prices

pbr went up to 8.49$!!! bastards!!

Yep. Haspin is $20/day. Harlan is $30/month.

Seems pretty darn reasonable...

Is that the case price?

Best deal in wheeling IMHO. $50 for a year per vehicle. Most places charge that or more per weekend per person.

The idea that they have to gain more money from this will fail unfortunately. All of the people who I know that go there once or twice a year say that they are not interested in going. More open trails for me so I will win on this!

That's still a great price, and you get a free map.

They are not interested in going back because of $15/year increase?

[coachholland]

Actually only $10. Fees were $40 a year in 2013. Agreed though. Someone being butt hurt over paying such a small amount considering how much land is down there needs to have their head checked. Just as an example of two other reclaimed coal mining parks on the east coast...

Rausch Creek: $15 membership, plus $35 a day plus $7 per passenger or $325 per person per year. No night riding.
Windrock: $88 per person, per year. No night riding.
Harlan: $50 a year per vehicle. 24/7/365 night or day.

I know a good amount of people who will not be going down because of this. The prices are going up and some are barely able to handle the rising costs. They would rather support our local riding areas. A few of them have had things stolen from the locals and have experienced crowded trails. I hope the crowds are lighter but I will miss some of the people who I ride with while I am there.

I'm about as cheap a bastard as cheap bastards get. I've got less in my daily-driver trail rig, tow rig, trailer, and spare jeep combined than a lot of people have in their toy alone. I can squeeze a nickel!

But it's basic math that two days at Harlan are cheaper than two days at Haspin.

If you want to support local, that's awesome. If you've had a bad experience down there, I can certainly understand.

But to say it's because of a $5/trip price increase just seems disingenuous...

I just can't see anyone not going to Harlan because of a $10 a year increase. If you're in to any motor sport, what's another $10... There's ways to beat the crowds, don't go on event weekends... I've never had any problems with thieves, but have heard of people getting ripped off.

[comanchedude]

second time it was a 200% increase , now its another what 50% dam I am pissed off

[twiztedzuki]
