    Co op card lock

    I am sure they would. Call or email Vanderhoof Co-op as they run the Valemount pumps. Should be able to Google phone number and/or email address.

    Co op card lock

    Open an account at Vanderhoof Co-op. There are envelopes with applications at the Co-op pumps in Valemount. Also in the envelope in addition to the application there is an affidavit where you swear you will not use the dyed purple on public roads in BC. Envelope is self addressed. Mail...

    Lets start a discussion. How do we fix sledding?

    Great post Curtis. Sure has everyone thinking and offering some great suggestions. I look at the heli-ski industry and given the number of heli-ski companies and the number of people those companies put on the hills in any given year and the terrain they ski that industry has a very good record...

    Talk about a FLOP

    Sure wish Rachel stuck up for Alberta the way Maxwell sticks up for his Doo's.

    Talk about a FLOP

    You think Maxwell is a dick. Many Numbers is worse. Always' correcting other's spelling and grammar and then there is T Team. Don't even get me started on that guy.

    My run in with the CO's

    Was very surprised they do not require insurance in BC before registering as in my mind defeats the main purpose of registration. I support registration if part of registration is to ensure that everyone else on public roads or trails has a minimum amount of liability insurance to protect others...

    Avalanche Awareness Rant

    I think even some that are trained get wrapped up in the moment, get impatient or forget their training and Avalanche Alley is a perfect example. Even when you cannot see a group on the other side of the slide path if everyone follows their training the most that can be exposed to that slope at...

    2015 / 2016 Valemount Conditions and Updates

    Would let you lead my group any day as you know those hills as well or better than anyone I know. Googled Columbia Range and your are correct. Columbia Range goes all the way from the northern US to north of Valemount on both sides of Highway 5 west of the Rocky Mountain Trench. Cariboo's are...

    2015 / 2016 Valemount Conditions and Updates

    Absolutely they were being generous. This mandatory registration in BC has been in the work's for some time. As you mention there has been much discussion on this forum since the start of the season and a number of the tickets they were handing out at Allen on Saturday morning were to Albertan's...

    Large Avalanche in McBride - Renshaw Jan 29 - 17 involved - 5 Passed RIP

    Thoughts and prayer's go out to family and friends of our fellow sledders' whom left us far to early. Every time I see the MADD ad on television where police have to tell a mother and her children their father has been killed by a drunk driver it hurt's and thinking that this will be happening...

    Valemount Glacier Destination

    Parts of the westerly end of the upper Westridge sledding area are within the resort so would lose some terrain there. Between sledding and a helicopter ride have seen most of the area. Terrain is very diverse from open easier runs on the upper parts of the glaciers to steep open runs on face of...

    Valemount Glacier Destination

    Remember Rachel said if we clean up our act then other provinces and countries will welcome our pipelines and our oil and gas with open arms. She promptly cleaned up our act, or so she thinks, by capping oil sands emissions and introducing a carbon tax among other things and shortly after she...

    Valemount Glacier Destination

    This has been in the works for a while. Would be the only glacier/year round ski resort in North America which makes it unique and therefore more likely to succeed than would a conventional winter ski resort. Has strong support from government, indigenous community and locals and like everything...

    Couple questions about oasis.

    Not a difficult ride in. Logging road most of the way and then a cut block and a relatively short trip through the trees off the top of the cut block into the alpine. Not a managed area so no cabin. No grooming so logging road can get bumpy and parts of narrow trail into alpine can get trenched...

    2015 / 2016 Valemount Conditions and Updates

    Maybe 5 to 10 cm at Allen Creek today but looked like it was snowing a lot more further south so Chappell may have received more.

    Edmonton Sled Show

    Did you not check out the young lady selling a Vitamin Supplement you add to water. She was next to Munster Finger Throttles and she was quite special IMHO.

    Edmonton Sled Show

    For sure. I thought the same thing. Seems like they were trying to make the million bucks all back in one fell swoop at the Sled Show.
