I have been stopped by the cops in Valemount more times than I can count both when driving and as a passenger (leaving Caribou Grill after a few drinks, riding sled in highway ditch-apparently illegal, no covers on fog lights, brakes not working on 4 place open trailer, improper straps on sleds...

I think the party that took the SPOT for the emergency (broken femur) may still have it with all the confusion but I am sure they fully intend to return it as they were likely very thankful to have had it there for their use. Thanks to the SPOT the proper authorities were alerted and then when...

Remember when you compare the three the doo is a 16" wide track and the poo and the cat are 15" wide. If you like to stay on top of the snow in the deep pow that extra width certainly can't hurt. I ride a cat so am not biased in favor of doo just pointing out that is a point to consider if you...

See Valemount section. There are pictures under Valemount Updates and Conditions.

Have had my digital thermometer set up for a couple of years now and coldest so far has been -23. Looks like -35 will be a new low temperature for Valemount that will be tough to beat. Like Glen said, hopefully kill a few of thos fuggin pine beetles.

That should buff right out.

Snowfarmers. They are just south of Valemount across from Willow Burl Cabins. Go to www.snowfarmers.com they give the rates and contact information on the web site.

All levels of government (municipal, provincial and federal) have for many years been providing grants to non profit organizations (community leagues, theatre groups, recreational associations, etc.) to help fund their activities as long as these activities are legal and benefit a number of...

As well as Alpine in Valemount there is Spindrift in McBride. Think Glen mostly rents cats. Alpine apparently has a couple of Cats as well as the Doo's. Not sure why Alpine is renting Cats now as they were always Doo before. Maybe a few fell off the truck on the way through Valemount.

Used to get Christmas Cards from the Chalet Continental when Joe and Krista were there. Was great PR. Maybe Best Western took up the idea.

Curtis says 6:30AM but last Sunday at Allen Creek the attendant was not there until around 7:00AM

There was some unauthorized discharging of fireworks and the place burnt down. Police are working on it now. They are pretty sure the guy works for Martin Motor Sports.

Legacy Vacation Rentals. They rent out a couple of new Whisper Creek Log Home cabins in town within short distance of everything in town and at really reasonable rates. You can fit quite a number of people into the cabins and they are on large lots with tons of parking. They have a website just...

Allen Creek itself (the creek that runs in the valley between Allen Creek snowmobile area and Oasis snowmobile area) is out of bounds so you would not be legal if you tried to get from Oasis to Allen or vice versa by crossing the creek and as you say it would be almost impossible even if it was...

100 in the parking lot on a Friday this early in the season hopefully means it will be a great year for VARDA and the Village of Valemount both of whom would have a tough time of it in the winter without the sledders. Here's to a great year of sledding and a big thanks to all of those who keep...

On the Arctic Cats if you are running in deep snow moisture can get into the throttle cable which then freezes and makes the throttle cable a bit sticky. They then go into limp mode as a safety feature for obvious reasons. Must be something like that on the Polaris sleds as that sounds like your...

Did you see the fairly recent post of the You Tube Video of the guy that blasted over the top of Goat Ridge Bowl into Danger Basin or the You Tube Video a year or two ago of the guy who was relatively new to mountain sledding riding a Turbo M8 and triggered the avy on the hill climb in Wind...

Valemount which gives you easy access to McBride and Blue River as well is closer to Fort McMurray than Revy, Sicamous, Invermere and Fernie by a couple of hours each way. You can rent a sled from Alpine in Valemount or Spindrift in McBride and Snofarmers in Valemount will set you up with a...

Curtis so sorry to hear about this. Your wife is a sweetheart and our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I do not have anything to donate but if you can pick something up from Alpine like a helmet or jacket I will pay for it and donate it back to your auction
