    2014 / 2015 Valemount Conditions and Updates

    Pretty vague answer to the question. Did you forget the name of the area "around the allan creek drainage basin".

    2014 / 2015 Valemount Conditions and Updates

    As far as I am aware VARDA does not charge trail fees unless they have groomed the trail on the regularly scheduled days that are published on the VARDA website and also published on grooming updates throughout local establishments so if one shows up on a Saturday at Chappell Creek it was...

    2014 / 2015 Valemount Conditions and Updates

    No right or wrong here just the facts and as someone said earlier we are all on the same team here. The facts are that sledding, at least in Western Canada, is not seen as a politically correct or green sport like riding bicycles (City of Edmonton pours tons of money into construction and...

    Emergency Contact List

    A well as 911 in a situation where it is not life or death I have Alpine Country Rentals at 12505669774 (as well as emergency parts they have a battery powered winch they can sometimes bring to you if they have some spare bodies around the shop), when the winch won't do the trick I have...

    Unfortunate for VARDA you were not aware this was going on. As I recall the last VARDA auction you were aware of you paid somewhere in the order of $450 for a shovel.

    You mean the super heavy duty beer can opener.

    Boy did we ever come across some fricken ( ! )holes when we were at Mustang last week

    Alcohol, fireworks and a campfire. What a seemingly harmless combination.

    New rider. 800 or 600

    In my opinion you can never have too much power as long is there is not a huge weight trade off for the extra power which there is typically not between any brand 600's and 800's. Power can be your friend as long as you manage it properly and the power is there if you need it with an 800 over a...

    2013/2014 Valemount Conditions and Updates!

    When is the Sled Junkies ride? They might need to stock up the liquor stores, beef up staffing at the medi-centre and have the women and children stay indoors.

    2010 M8 issue

    Although it does not make sense because you were on the trail was there any ice in the throttle cable or snow packed in between the throttle lever and the stop as my 2010 M8 does that quite often when riding deep powder. It is a safety issue so your throttle does not stick open when it senses...

    CBC Interviews Mike Weigele

    Lund. With all due respect not sure how you can agree with him given that his radio interview was very short on specifics and long on anecdotal evidence, conjecture, heresay, all those things that someone trying to push an agenda that has no legs likes to use and Mike Wiegle is a master at that...

    Track speed vs ground speed or mpi viper 162 vs summit t3 174

    The real issue here is which one processes snow better. We need to see the numbers on both and Russ is the only one on this forum I trust to complete those calculations correctly so will have to wait until we hear from him on this matter before rendering an opinion. LOL

    missing Sledders in Silent Pass ???

    There was a television special on this a few months ago. According to those interviewed for the show which was about an hour long and very well done, Search and Rescue on land in Canada is a bit of a patchwork across the country except in the National Parks where it is funded through park passes...

    When cops have a ego

    I see a business opportunity here with the loophole in the act. It does say "person" so like Katman says I am sure you could train monkeys to install tint (low overhead as you would not have to pay them and banana's are very cheap particularly if you buy them in bulk). You would have to have a...

    When cops have a ego

    You neglected to mention that we did not get a ticket for anything and it may have been because you were sitting in the passenger seat wearing a pink ladies toque and they likely did not want to be seen to be picking on us becuase of the what they deemed to be the sexual orientation of one of...

    When cops have a ego

    One can argue the positives and negatives of window tinting and the logic of trailer brakes required on some trailers and not on others but you are wasting your time unless you are making those arguments to your local MLA or MNA in Quebec as Highway Traffic Acts are Provinicial jurisdiction.
