We were played out early and came bake to the lake and there was 30 or 40 sleds pounding around the lake. I think the ice is ok.

We just had four days of awesome thanks Varda and thanks Terry and Lisa, our incredible hosts. We have had such great trips out here. Even if the trails are whooped out.....suck it up princesses...would you rather be working.

Thanks Mike you guys are awesome , had ball and tonight in the sled shed we had our first 180 shot by Arlos on from mikes crew on the dartboard mike and I followed with a 119 and a 125 .
The 180 is pretty impressive .

Oh and it's snowing out
The darts


Oh and here's mike doing dishes
God bless him



Now that Mike and them are leaving Chappel was handle bar deep the last 2 days . Trail is hell but snow is incredible

I apologize and have to retract my last comment from last night . "Trail is hell but snow was incredible"
Trail was great . I meant It was a little hell for the boys coming out cause they stayed up late , hit the parking lot early , road hard , burnt all there fuel . Then had a 25 km trail ride out.
Again
I do apologize for that misleading statement .
:(:(:(:(

The Valemount and surrounding areas still plagued with unseasonably warm temperatures. We are receiving some precipitation although the amounts and locations have been extremely variable. We have had to do some major adjustments with our grooming schedule until we get back to winter at the lower elevations.

On behalf of everyone at VARDA, please have a Merry Christmas and a safe holiday season.


Clemina: Will be groomed again the evening of Sunday, December 21

Allen Creek: EXTREME CAUTION NEW TRAIL CLOSED DUE TO ICE.
We are very sorry to say that grooming of this area has been cancelled until further notice. Please watch for open water bars and other natural hazards on the trail.

Chappell: Will be groomed again Sunday, December 21

Rode Clemina Sunday and Saturday. Decent conditions up top, but landmines still available to wreck sled if not careful. Saw evidence of several surface avalanches Sunday. Had some great entertainment Saturday watching hill climb, and lots of rider-less sleds throughout.

chain it down, make it tough to take, they'll only take the "simple" ones.

Do you not use super clamps with your sled deck? Lock Em and you should be fine.
