Wow, my first time in was last week. Must say I'm hooked and we didn't even go back that far.

There's a few of us beating up that trail.

And a bit of the aftermath to my sled and done poor tree's

Few more

First day I tried to turn around a tree and smoked the a-arms into it.

Second day I took a little drop and was on the throttle too much maybe and she smashed me into the steering post.

Needless to say it hurt considering I bent the steel post all the way forward and went over the sled then got ran over.

Thank goodness for powder. Sucked because I just couldn't use the sled the way the bars were the rest of the day...

Didn't try to bend them back because I didn't want any snapping!

thats the biggest tree i've ever seen sacrificed for sledding WOW!!!

 

[Kenny_h2o]

Yeah haha, thankful for the axe I bought just before coming. Best 30 dollars I've ever spent.



Reminder, keep your head up when I'm chopping down a tree for my buddy!

Edit: This is the first small tree cut down in the first post. Good thing the kid was young and had fast reflexes!

that looks like it was an epic trip.

I've only been to the mountains 4 times. One including the rental I took up in April on my first trip that got me hooked.

We rode Clemina then Allen before the groomers were going last week... Oasis the rest of the week. I'm back to work tomorrow and ill hopefully be going through some of my videos to post. Didn't have time for many photos other than when something broke or I was helping someone out.

Yes, to answer your question it was the trip of my life. Back down January 19th to the 27th!

Had a great time in vale, first fay we tried to get our legs- upside down more than a few times then got a blue bird day at clemina on 2nd day and yesterday rode the trees at Allen right by cabin.
prob one of the best trips snow was amazing up top. Other than needing new front and rear bumpers it was good lol

We were having a blast Friday until a 1000 let go in a bad area.....had to rent this bad boy and pull it up 3 very large hills to get it out. Left Vale at about 8:30am and was back in town by 2pm. This thing kicks ass....priced out the winch part only today for $899.00....they are out of BC....definetly thinking about for jetboating and sledding!

Looks like a few people like the smell of fresh pine.

All I have to say is this was way far my worst trip to valemount ever. It started out both sleds broke. Breaking is part of the sport but that's not what made my trip bad. I had to leave sled on km 6 of Allen trail. I took my skid out to repair the broken skid arm. When I went back in today I had found that someone started to help them selfs to my parts. My entire secondary was stolen from my sled . To make matters worse I had to rent a sled to go get mine cause my riding partners sled caught fire due to a faulty fuel pump seal into tank.

Hopefully karma strikes this thieving fawker down hard for you M1000Cat.

Nevermind im obviously a NEWB... lol
Its just the Sledders rate.. but hey its 109/night for my king bed and jacuzzi room...lots of room for me and my puppy!
Was just in Whitecourt at 149/night so it's a deal for me

Curtis, Weather network says vale is in a snowfall warning, is it actually snowing down low. Hope so the trails in could use a little more coverage.
