2013/2014 Valemount Conditions and Updates!

[Depsnolvr]

As honest as it gets.....

Access to Clemina and Chappell is possible although both areas are holding less than a meter of snow on average. Major natural hazards still exist including open water, thin ice covered lakes, rocks and other hard objects

Allen Creek access is only for the very experienced rider. The trail is steep, rocky and extremely slippery.

Temps in the valley bottom the last two days have been hovering just above zero and are not helping our cause.

I understand that the pictures and video can look good and are very deceiving. Don't get me wrong, if you can get into an area and avoid any damage, a baseless meter of snow can be a lot of fun......



I'm depressed.........

I couldn't agree more. Early season is always risky. We go every year. But we know we are gambling. This year one in our crew lost. He has some fixing to do. Like I said earlier we were going to go again tomorrow but with the current conditions we are holding off.

Snow conditions are still very thin in the Valemount area. We have had a long period with no precipitation and access to our riding areas has not improved. The riding areas are holding less than a meter of snow on average and many natural hazards still exist.

Clemina and Chappell Creek: These areas do have safe access although the trails are very thin and natural hazards including open creeks, stumps and heavy willows still exist. The overall snow depth is very shallow and riders are urged to use extreme caution.

Allen Creek: The access to this area is extremely difficult at this point. The trail is full of rocks and ice for most of the way. Please respect the gated trail as we need to avoid icing up this access in order to produce a good trail for the season.
