Curtis. I hear the bottom gate is open at Allen. Did you guys open it up or did some champ force his way thru it already?

Haven't done that much early season riding in Valemount but if access isn't an issue I heard Alan Creek is pretty good for early season. There are plenty of land mines every where you go tho so it would be best to know the terrain

I would stick to clemina for first time. Easiest to navigate I think and not get lost.

There is one open gate at the back of the lower lot right where the Allen Creek road begins. This is closed all summer to prevent atv access although is now open. The gate at 3km is still closed and will be for a long time. Currently there is no access to our alpine areas as a far as we know unless you want to risk the long sled ride up the rocky allan creek trail as the rideable snow line is waaaaay up there at the moment....things can change quickly though.

We have snow up top, but our areas unfortunately do not allow easy access to the alpine without a good amount of snow below tree line.

Best for early season would be Allan creek once its accessible. The areas within a few kms of the cabin are great and safe"ish" for early season as far as hazards go.

Access at 10kms in blue. Revy looks great but non stop rain this time of season.

Rode frisby in revy yesterday,was awesome snow.rain in the bottom means lots of snow up top!

Weather app said it's finally snowing there and looking like below zero everyday this week. Hopefully it's enough to gain access for you guys
