Forgive my ignorance but I have never had to use the "old" trail while in valemount. If we need to use it when we rise there on the 29-2. Where is it and how do we get to it?

When you reach the gate at km 3 go straight instead of going to the right and through the gate Follow tracks from there on.
BTW this is Allan Creek specific

Going to be there next weds for a 3 day ride looking forward to it. Got a report from A guy from Lloyd today that is there now said there is about 18 plus inches of fresh up top. I guess we should have stuck to the original plan to go this weekend.

Rode into Clemina today, found 100cm's up on Goat Ridge. Great early season ride to break-in sleds, NO Damage!

My group canceled on me for the 21st. Am heading to Hinton anyway for a family visit and HOPE to pick up the xm on the way. Was just curious if there are any groups I could make a break in ride with,if the snow is decent on the 22,23 or 24th. Have all my gear and own trailer so would just be going for company and safety . And of course to get in a first ride on the new sled if it shows up. Thanks ,

Yes sir, you are correct. we do this as early season riders create severe ice patches on the steeper sections of the trail and it seriously effects grooming for a long time into the season. Although 15min after our repairs today, a guy was seen trying to saw his way through the gate...lol:rolleyes: who knows how long it will last this time........

Well its that time of the year again. The time where I see all the early season guys coming back with handlebars and ski's dangling off the deck. Used to be trailing arms. Either way, I'm dying to ride too, but 100 cm's of snow won't cover the 200 cm rocks. Keep the reports, and the snow coming.

Let it snow let it snow. As I was putting the finish touches on my Deck tonight basically a complete rebuild as it was a non collapsible , I started adding up just the top and was blown away at how much I blew away lol super clamps, paint, glides, lights and time. Here a few pics while we're waiting for more snow pics.

Hey guys just wondering if you can tell me if there is an official date when the gate at Allen opens or not I realize it depends on snow but I am going up on dec 1 and don't want to just go through it because its open because it sounds like a lot of guys are just crashing through I ride there every year but never before Christmas break so if you could let me know I would appreciate it thanks
