Letter: Shoutout to the RMOW from Green Lakers

'Now boaters will clearly see where to navigate from the RMOW boat ramp to the land sign by the railway tracks halfway up the lake'

Kudos to Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) staffers Andrew and Brian for repositioning the buoys regulating motorboat traffic on Green Lake. The buoys were displaced by shifting ice during the spring breakup. Now boaters will clearly see where to navigate from the RMOW boat ramp to the land sign by the railway tracks halfway up the lake.

The RMOW regulations, as set out in the signage by the boat ramp, require boaters to restrict their speed to 10 km/h, create no wake, and forbid towing until reaching the land sign.

These regulations also apply to Sea-Doo operators who were recently given the go-ahead to use Green Lake by RMOW. It is hoped Sea-Doo operators are more compliant with the regulations than demonstrated in the past.
