Just off the phone with Glen. He and Darryl were able to get out on Saturday, as he has already posted, and packed almost the entire south portion of the snowmobile trails south of Cataract Creek Trail. A big THANK YOU to the both of you. Upon leaving the Cataract Creek parking lot, they...

Basically what this shows is that the snow level at Cataract Creek Snow Vehicle Public Land Use Zone is the lowest now compared to historical information!

Posting for Glen here, as he and volunteer Ed were out packing the trails yesterday. -24 when you got back, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS! As indicated to me; - Cataract Creek Trail out (west) from the parking lot to Cataract Loop Trail - up the Cataract Loop Trail (west) to the junction with...

To all, Spray Lake Sawmills is ploughing the entire Hwy 940/Forestry Truck Road this winter, from Cataract Creek P.R.A. parking lot ("the gate") to Dutch Creek P.R.A. ("the other gate") for hauling logs this winter. DO NOT DRIVE YOUR SLED ON THIS ROAD! Even though they are not hauling on...

In my experience, the better snow is definitely in the south - Skyline, Cummings, Oyster Excursion, and Pasque Trials - and not as good on the northern trails - Etherington, Raspberry and lower portions of Baril Creek And Baril Loop trails - with Cataract Creek trail being the dividing line, and...

May I invite you to check out the Calgary Snowmobile Club? We have organized rides at various mountain riding areas, and groom the snowmobile trails at Cataract Creek Snow Vehicle Public Land Use Zone, 1 hour southwest of Calgary - zero avalanche risk with access to powder for those that want...

If I know Glen and a few of the "Fording Pass Guys", this snow will have them out there very soon! Keep your eyes peeled here, as I am sure the posts will begin to flow with the snow that has now arrived!:Snowmobile1::Snowmobile1::Snowmobile1:

Book January 14-15, 2017 to be at Cataract! Our Club Ride is Saturday, and our Snowmobile Festival & Poker Rally is Sunday. It is shaping up to be a great weekend, dealers are bringing demos on Sunday, free lunch on the trail during the Poker Run, and people will be camping in the parking lot...

Glen is correct! By the looks of the forecast for the area, we will not get the needed snow to pack down for a while in the valley bottoms, to get out of the parking lots without damaging your sled. Appears to be some snow coming this Monday, but I am not sure how much. Glen will probably...

FYI......all signal things are headed in the right direction, we just need a big dump of snow to get started packing and grooming.

See posts above for further details, but these photos are of Cataract Loop Trail and the high point of Etherington Trail, on the ridge.

Some of the work done this past Saturday - Darryl and Darrell rockin' the volunteer work!

On behalf of Glen and I, as well as Darryl (who we have not often mentioned here - but is a driving force on summer trail maintenance as the committee's "Trail Boss"), you're welcome. Just know that we get great personal satisfaction from our efforts, and we would not do it if we didn't love to...

Just a quick note on yesterday - Saturday's - activities and conditions on the snowmobile trails. Glen will respond with more information and pictures in a later post, as he was able to stay overnight with a small crew and do more work today. There is not enough snow to operate your sled from...

Ingenuity at its' best. I trust your safety thoughts are built into this, otherwise, great thinking!

Great question, and let me try to be concise in my answer, but informative. One partial trail closure again this winter is Wilkinson Summit Trail, better known as the Forestry Trunk Road (FTR)/Highway 940. It is yet to be fully determined, but when a large cut is undertaken around Oyster...

Glen, I hope this is the last weekend committee members are out there on our quads! I am really looking forward to getting on the club's new grooming sled and packing the trails.

For those of you who have not seen this. Sledderglen wrote this in a new thread he started in the S.W. Alberta section here entitled "Help Calgary Snowmobile Club". It is great information: "Calgary Snowmobile Club has been working on bringing the Cataract Creek Snowmobile trail area back to...

Yes, this warm weather is not the best for hunting, or preseason packing of snow - especially when next to none is there. Glen and his crew of snow groomers are eagerly anticipating getting on the new-to-us club sled to pack and groom snow, along side of his donated one, this season. Let it...
