The smell of melting plastic for 17 of the 21 miles put on today.lol. Bouncing off rocks good times..... We got lots accomplished for future riders of the area this year. Nice to meet you tucker_98. A+ in your ratchet strapping lol.
I'd post pictures but I would hate for anyone to know that there can be great riding before December 1 :-)
December 1 is the Official opening day for the area. This has never been and issue 5-10 years ago but the last few years seem to be
Shouldn't have any issues riding this weekend. I was out Friday and Saturday last week and tons of snow. One day out of Etherington and one out of Cataract.
CO,s were out on sleds pounding trails checking paperwork so make sure you have your stuff in order.
Anyone riding tomorrow?
Anyone riding tomorrow? Either Fording or south Meadows/cut blocks. Im Not looking to just blast 70 miles of trails and sit on my seat all day. I like to make new tracks and pull my shovel out when my sled gets stuck from exploring :-)
The grooming part way of the Fording trail would have come in handy last week after having to ride about halfway out on a bandaged A arm over moguls. Lol.
Thanks for the future rides in :-)
Didn't make it out. No riding partner :-(
I guess everyone likes to ride in 2 inchs of no base snow at the beginning of season and not towards the end when we get the big dumps.
Or everyone is back to work and im the only one waiting on nice weather to start working.
Anyone interested in going out tomorrow? Thinking south out of cataract and then cut blocks. Should have snow down low now. Nakiska is reporting 54 cm in last 24 hrs. lost creek says 22mm for the 24 of april. todays isn't updated yet.
Looking to play not to just blast 80 miles of trail.
Thank you for the grooming. Smoother is always a bonus.
I have joined the club, bought a trail pass and have yet to try these groomed trails :-)
Still looking to go out tomorrow no riding partner.
Good choice.
Was just going through my pictures its crazy how little snow compared to previous years. There was more snow Oct. 16 2009 there then now Dec. 27. 2016.

Im scared riding cut blocks in March/April on a good snow year out there let alone December on a low snow year. I wouldn't consider doing anything other than trails out there. The snow is thin.
Gates are closed. They didn't get the snow that Calgary got. Maybe 1 inch or two at etherigton. I don't think I would worry about dragging. Trails are pretty packed. We hit Fording. Least amount of Snow on trails and back there that I have seen. Probed 70 cm. Area needs snow bad
