Actually, it is not different, may be it is in your sledding area, but not ours. The trails have to stand up year round, summer and winter, so a quality build is top of mind. Therefore, a known quality standard is followed. Be that from N.O.H.V.A.C., U.S. Forest Service, Alberta Parks, or...

Elderedo, honestly, we were unable to complete re-grading of both trails out from the trailhead parking lots at both Etherington and Cataract Creek, as planned. This had to do more with Alberta Environments' "fish window", and we have found knowing the timing of these "windows" and pre-planning...

Donnie, A voluntary "payment" daily trail pass box has been talked about. It has been brought up within committee the last couple of years, but we are yet to move forward with the idea. There are a couple in use around the province by a couple of clubs, so their is some experience available...

It could come down to a straight economics things; look at how both courses are set up and the cost associated with each. The U of C costs may be much less for rental facilities, may be not? Sledders are not allowed at Fortress Mountain, and the U of C course would not involve the same costs...

I have no idea what the terrain is in his area, never asked, don't care. I know our trails, and work with trail builders and government in a cooperative way to repair erosion damage on a 37 year old trail system that is going strong and coming back from flood damage that occurred in 2005 and...

See, there you go again making assumptions. It is far more intelligent to ask questions as to what or how repairs have happened, then assume anything about them, or that a government paid for it........they didn't by the way. You are incorrect in so many ways with your post of what was done...

This past weekend, the club was happy to receive their T.F.A. (Temporary Forest Access) documentation, and engaged in erosion damage repair to: 1) Skyline Trail 2) Pasque Trail 3) Oyster Excursion Trail 4) the connector trail from half way south on Cummings Trail west over to the entrance...

Elderedo is bang on here. This year, to date, will be continuing our grooming activities with two snowmobiles and drags. The club has made arrangement to purchase a used, newer Ski-doo SWT Skandic than one of the ones we had use of last year. The SWT's are more then powerful enough to pull...

Tyler is correct here. Last year the Calgary Snowmobile Club took on the grooming activities at Cataract Creek, and fully funded it from voluntary, annual A.S.A. Trail Pass fees that people paid either by joining the Calgary Snowmobile Club, Calgary Snow Mobile Club - Come and Join the Club, or...

Donnie, Last year the best snow on the trails was from Dec. 1, to early February. There was plenty there for many great days of riding. We continued to ride from February, into April, but I will not lie, new snow was fairly scarce after the end of January, and led to the trails deteriorating...

RZR, all I can say is I am glad you are not incharge of creating quality trails. I, myself, will leave it up to the professionals that know what they are doing. Seems you are sure quick to comment on assumptions you are making. Good luck on any trail you ever attempt to produce in a...

So, how is this for trail work?

Activities for this weekend on the Cataract Creek Snowmobile Trails have been post-poned due to weather. We have decided that we do not want to be on the trails in these wet conditions, nor have to wake up and work in them. I will post again, in October, when we have rescheduled. Thanks for...

Just a quick not to say thanks for all the PM's, and that we have filled the need for volunteers for this upcoming weekends' Trail Maintenance. We will post pictures of what we are able to accomplish under the T.F.A. for the weekend.

The upcoming Trail Maintenance Weekend is organized by the Calgary Snowmobile Club, in conjunction with the Backcountry Trails Flood Rehabilitation program and the Alberta Environment & Parks Ministry. We have the support of our work from the Public Lands Department, the Ministry of Agriculture...

Yep, pack your rod if you would like, I am not a slave driver........ We, collectively, know where some fish are, but don't expect whoppers! LOL

On a related matter - for the future - I have been involved in public meeting Recreational Plans here in Southern Alberta. If things go "Provinicial Wide" eventually, be very careful how loud of an exhaust you pay for. I do not know when a new law will come in, but it seems to me, on public...

So I would like to know what a court of law thinks of "navigable waterway"? I think herein lies the rub! For a waterway to be navigable - in my way of thinking, and I may be wrong - it must be "flowing". If a creek can not support a johnboat, canoe, or any other floating unit designed to...
