A guy in my group broke the lower cross shaft for the front skid shock on his pro rmk. Anyone know where a guy might find a replacement shaft and spacers? It's all completely missing . Tomorrows riding won't be too fun without a front shock

Anyone know about the guy that got choppered off Chappell today?

Heard that they were ok and released from the hospital a few hours after. Better to take the proper precautions rather than putting them into a wheelchair forever. Glad there ok.

Riding was great over the weekend. You didn't have to look far to find fresh lines. It will likely be getting a bit ridden out near the cabins and popular locations although farther back and in the lesser known corners the riding is still great. We have spent the last four days on the mountains and the stability has shown to be quite good. Our cool night time temperatures and generally stable weather over the last 5 days have allowed some stability to happen in the snowpack. Of course, all normal cautions need to happen as with any day on the mountain, so check avalanche.ca and ride aware!

We have been getting quite a few calls and emails asking about the conditions of our trails as some in the province are already showing open gravel.


Our staging areas are still snow covered and our trails have full coverage. We have been lucky the last few days with freezing night time temperatures.


Yes its still winter hear!

Any snow updates on clemina? Trail should be good but we're thinking of riding there tomorrow. Hoping that there's some decent snow in the initial play areas.
