rode allen on friday. Went way back and found some great snow that was untouched. Still lots left when we left. Decided to ride keyhole on saturday. Got up there to find out know one had been in yet. There was another group right in front of us that found the same thing. They broke the trail in. We fixed alot of trenches. Anyway the trail into keyhole is good to go. The snow in the trees made it look like the snow was going to be great up top. Got in and it was like riding on concrete. Even in the trees it was hard. We cut our losses and headed down early. Needs a good snow for the riding to be any good in there.

Snowmobile Poker Run

Time: 9:00 am–approx. 1:00 pm Location: Westridge Parking Lot

Ride for a cause! Bring your family and friends to experience the thrill of riding in the beautiful mountain trails of the Lower Westridge area, while raising funds for BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities. Tourism Valemount, in cooperation with the Valemount Snowgoers Club and VARDA will be hosting the annual Winterfest Poker Run. The trail is a low-elevation, clearly marked 30-km-loop where you will experience beautiful views of the valley and village below. Take a break and fight off winter chills with a complimentary hot chocolate and a treat at the warming hut, at approximately the 20 km mark of the trail. This trail is also an excellent place for new riders to improve their snowmobiling skills before heading into more serious territory. The Poker Run will start and finish at the Westridge parking lot where you will pick up your cards and hope for the best hand! Prizes will be given for best hands, pledges, rider categories and ghost riders.

Complete your adventure with hotdogs and beverages by the bonfire at the Westridge parking lot, sponsored by Canadian Mountain Holidays Valemount, while you mingle and share stories about all your snowy adventures. The rest of the day is yours to go out and discover new activities or blaze the trails of yesterday.
