Yes and will be for some time. Very warm temps down low and no snow to groom. HOPEFULLY we have a good early season again and the gate is respected. It is for the benefit of everyone for the ENTIRE SEASON, not those who risk coming early season.
We also have some surprise issues with plowing...
Hey everyone, we are super stoked on the strong interest in getting going on the winter sled season. It has been an interesting summer and fall for certain.
We know everyone is eager, but snow wise we are sitting at under a meter still, with access being a big issue. There is not a lot of...
The gate is NOT NEW. It is a privately owned bridge. We negotiated its use and access for this season AND built new road so you will be able to access the area. It will be open by mid november if there is sufficient ground cover for sled only access.
you guys should try the gathering tree. New owner is awesome, open in the mornings, better coffee, mountain lunches to go and 10% off to VARDA members.
Oh! And they actually give back to the club! Support those that support your sport!
The lower gate is open now. Trail has full coverage but is very thin. Alpine snow levels are a thin 50cms and its mashed potatoes. You can see an update vid on our facebook or instagram and our MIN post over on Avalanche.ca
Nice to see an early start to winter, but hope it picks up and cools...
lol NOPE! You are all wrong...lol
Too many users on the webcam and the host flagged the use as ABUSE :d
Should be fixed now

Perhaps the webcam should be a perk of membership ? :ignore:
First snowflakes of the year hitting the ground now and its hammering out...
We've been quiet lately but certainly not idle.
Many of you have heard about the access issues up #clemina due to the bridge washout.. For the last several months, #varda has been working with government and stakeholders to work out a solution for the winter access route for the 20/21 season...
Thanks for the interest everyone, It feels very strange to say this but our cleanup and work b is now FULL for the Saturday. We could use a few more for the Sunday but there is no panic.
Stoked on the interest and hopefully everyone who was interested is now signed up.
Thanks so much

Thank you
Just bumping this up to the top again for another look. There are some pretty amazing incentives offered for club support. Wether you are looking for marketing for you business or simply a good way to help the club, please give us a consideration. All sponsorship are considered advertising...
Sorry it took so long to respond.
Small tourism communities close to the border rely on tourism and always will. We are preparing for a normal season the best we can. No one here is complaining about our town being absolutely packed with visitors now, so I do not see what a 50% reduction of...
We have been getting a lot of requests for the date of our annual Alpine Area Work B.
DATE September 19th and 20th
We have now set the WHEN, so we wanted to get it out there, but the WHAT is still up in the air a bit. We have issues with the access to Clemina Creek shelter site and while...
Thanks a lot for the stoke. We cannot sell technically until after our AGM which will be late September / early October as last years membership do not expire until Oct 1 and it would throw the digital world into a downward tail spin...lol
The month of August bring about the most important times of year for us here at VARDA.
August is our annual sponsorship drive and we need help from our supporters now more than ever as we look forward to an amazing winter season ahead. I know you all have heard about our issues at Clemina and...
