Staging for Quartz is right off Hwy 1, West of Golden. Easy to find…well, if you see the tiny little snowmobile sign. :p Jk. Check out Golden's site it has maps and info on the riding areas. Sled Golden | Snowmobile Golden | Snowmobile Riding | Golden Snowmobile Trail Society | Golden...
We'll head to Quartz on Sat. since most of the group is going there and we get lots of other time to ride other areas. :) I can offer up some time with some new riders and there will be more women with our group too, some new some experienced. If ya'll want to make a time to meet at the cabin...
Neat little riding area…superb scenery on the ridge side. :) It earned it's name…just sayin. You cross a few big avy paths that cross the main Bugaboo road pretty much each year, then when you leave the main road you head up a narrower switchbacky trail…it can be sketchy or it can be super...
Great to meet you too RN :) We got out fine, no issues. Getting the sled on the deck was a bugger :p but with some manpower and a side of woman power, we did ok lol. Electrical issue…got it to the shop last night. :)
Actually it's the BC Gov't site that has all the riding and trail information out there not Tourism Radium at all. I have yet to see Radium push anything but Forster. The Recreation Trails has had the same information for at least 10 years on the snowmobile trails. If you read it, it all sounds...
Ummmm. I wouldn't necessarily use your trail map alone. Some of these areas aren't accessible year round and aren't actually riding areas. I would avoid Kane creek, McDonald Creek and Doctor. The low coverage, you will not get into some of these, at all…and there's nothing to do if you don't...
We saw some decent snow last week so coverage is getting good now, and nothing but snow forecasted through this coming weekend. :) There are some great riding areas and spectacular scenery in Golden, if you haven't been it's worth checking out! Quartz is the most known and busiest as it's the...

I've been insured with Capri for 5 years. The BCSF is affiliated with Capri and considering affiliating with Oasis for members individual insurance to give people the choice of which company to go with. Personally I considered switching this season for the cheaper rate but decided to stay with...
Glad these guys are ok. :) Two people hurt in backcountry avalanche near Golden, B.C.
Numerous slides being seen in all our riding areas. Weak layers are deep and new snow, some warmer temps are pushing the limits of what this layer can hold. Our snow pack is lower than usual, don't let that...
West Bench Trail is now open all the way. Haven't been yet, but I hear it's a great trail ride. :)

I've really enjoyed the Blaeberry rides we've done. :)

Most of the Betties rides often include the guys too :) You'd be more than welcome to shred with the guys while she gets accustomed to going it alone. If she feels she wants to go it alone, we always have lots of capable support. Hope to see you both this winter. :D
Quite a few options out there now. :) SheShreds Mountain Adventures, LaNina Sled Camp…they both do women's clinics. We'll have a few clinics after the end of Jan. via our Betties group in Golden, Elkford, Creston, and possibly McBride, and we can offer some individual instruction, one on one...
La Nina Sled Camp (Nadine) operates out of Revy, she may do clinics in McBride/Valemount? Julie-Anne is great at SheShreds. :) Their schedules and locations are on their website.
With The Betties we do smaller rides, one on one help and we hookup with some industry pros and other instructors...
Not sure what you have in MT for regulations. But insurance is costly but necessary IMO. You'll also need some first aid if you want to be taken seriously, guiding companies here require min. 80hr first aid, preference is for Wilderness First Aid. For insurance in BC they base it on what type of...
