    Whistler Area 2020

    staging is from the bottom, the tour company has started grooming. It was groomed to Brandywine bowl only, doubt very much you could even get to Chocolate yet, that side hill where the cat usually builds a road is probably bottomless except for the boulders.

    Whistler Area 2020

    Not sure the Albertans are hurting much compared to us, hell the sledding right by Calgary at Cataract Creek is probably the best it’s been in years. Pretty sure there has been more snow at our place outside a Calgary then on the hill at Whistler. Slow start this year, hope it catches up.

    Sled Skiing Partners

    Yeh, wasn’t thinking of regular boots, I’ve always worn touring gear as we quite often would end up skinning a bit to get to something we couldn’t sled right up to. The plastic on regular boots would get shredded, and it must be a real pain to wear them in any kind of technical sled terrain.

    Official Cataract Creek Snowmobile Area Thread for 2019/20 season

    Just a note to anyone heading to Fording, that trail passes thru the park, you must remain on the trail until you get to Fording, there are sections of it that are tempting to leave and play in meadows etc, but doing so jeopardizes future access.

    Sled Skiing Partners

    Depends on the length of the access. If it is long, and involved I’ll wear sled boots and change to ski when we get there, if it isn’t to bad, IE just trail riding I’ll stick with the ski boots. Haven’t noticed that my boots were getting chewed up. However I have mostly switched to...

    seems people who were breaking rails last year were getting warranty. All of them failed while riding smooth trails though. ;)

    Sled Skiing Partners

    Just a warning, sled skiing is NOT a cheap pursuit, buying a sled, paying for gas and hauling it to where it can be used can get expensive fast. I have hiked the Cataract Creek area in the summer, unless there is something up Fording way, I haven’t seen much that would be worth skiing from the...

    2019/2020 Mcbride Conditions and Updates

    And so the yearly bitching about grooming starts. If your going to exaggerate, try to be a bit closer. ON has 30,000 km of trails. They also have several magnitude greater number of trail users, 26,000 pass holders so far this year. Their pass price is 190-270/year, or 35 for a day pass...

    Official Cataract Creek Snowmobile Area Thread for 2019/20 season

    Cataract Creek is officially restricted to only vehicles registered as Snowmobiles. I suspect that is because in the past when it was created,they wanted to ensure that no one was riding quads or motorbikes there during low snow years. However it does mean that your snow bike isn’t ‘legal’...

    Alpha Conversion kits available

    Actually I can see this being good for people who have modded their sleds and wouldn’t get the cost b backout if they went the sell and buy new route.

    2020’s

    That was the point of Cats snowcheck program. You got a real good price by committing in the spring, Cat knew exactly how many sleds they needed to build, there is no excess inventory they are going to have to discount, and dealers can finally get rid of the older sleds that have been hanging...

    Tiaga, anyone ordered one?

    This would be perfect for the guys who spend most of their day sitting in the cabin and bull****ting about their riding. No problem getting a whole day in on it. :rolleyes:

    Cold Weather starting tricks?

    Put bike so the engine is next to the exhaust on your truck, throw a tarp over it to make a tent around engine, run truck for 15 minutes, warms up bike engine enough to make an easy start.
