There was lots of snow left on Sunday at the back of Allen.

As previously mentioned, Allen will be groomed up for the holiday weekend and possibly chappell.:d

Conditions are still amazing for april

Has anyone been to Clemina or Chappel as of Sunday or monday? I'm coming tomorrow morning and wondering what the trails and conditions are like? I'm bringing a friend that has never been and hoping to really back up all my bragging. Help me make the right choice.. where should I take him?

My vote would be for Chappell, the conditions on friday were amazing...

 

[Depsnolvr]

For ease of access, I would say Allen Creek. At clemina the first few km of the hydro line trail are quite bare you will most likely have to drive up the clemina road and there is really no room at the snowline for vehicles....sucks.

Chappell should have great snow, but will be bumpy. We hope to groom here for the weekend, but we will have to see.

Allan has the shortest and best access to the snow ! It will be groomed again on Wednesday night

Was up Chappel Sunday, The snow was really starting to Harden Up towards 6:30pm and the trail wasnt too bad the last climb up into the alpine was pretty rough but thats only a short Distance.

It really doesnt matter where you go its awesome for April riding everywhere.

Anyone on here sled in Westridge on Saturday April the 16th?

 

[AndyBaily]

Thanks guys. We ended up going to Chappell today. The sun was shining on the way up but the weather moved in as soon as we got up there, cycling sun every once in a while The snow was pretty wet and heavy but we managed to find quite a bit of untouched. The trail was pretty rough. It kicked my a$$. I think we'll probably try Mcbride tomorrow. Thank you everyone for the feedback

Happy Spring!

As it is sitting now:

Allen will be groomed up tonight and maintained throughout the Easter Weekend:d

Chappell Creek will be groomed on Thursday night for Friday/Saturday (depending on user numbers, we may regroom Friday night)


Please remember this is VERY late in the spring for grooming operations. It has been freezing at night and hopefully the trails will hold up well. Please remember we are grooming for your enjoyment and ease of access and be understandable as we do what we can with the weather and circumstances.

Enjoy the SUN AND SNOW

Any chance of Clemina getting groomed or is the trail muddy now?
Heading out this afternoon and trying to decide where to ride first.

Going out Thursday for one last ride to try out the new sled :d

I do not believe clemina has any access from the staging area. I could be wrong, but it will be very patchy at best. The FSR is plowed to a resident home only, and there is NO parking at all. I do not recommend driving up the road. I would stick with Allen and Chappell if i was you.

How far up the trail is the snow on Clemina? You can still park in the lot and sled up though can you not? Just not gonna be good for the sliders.
