Great news! Grooming has begun! All three main riding areas will be groomed up for the weekend.

Alpine snow levels have been great this week. The riding has been exceptional for early season and all three of our main riding areas are holding good snow for now.

Warmer temps are forecasted but the alpine has remained cool and the riding is gooooood!

Visit our facebook page for video updates and pics.

Rode Chappell today...
Nice groomed trail...
Snow was good
Visibility sucked balls most of the day.
Our group found all the sippy holes
When the visibility was 3 feet

Above was from Friday....
Rode Clemina Saturday....
Groomed trail in was great...
Sun came out for the 1st part of day
Amazed at how good the snow was
Throttle is your best friend in these conditions
Lots of riders getting stuck
Probably 1st day of season for them
Didn't tag anything....probed 7+ feet
If you didn't come out this weekend....
You missed out on great conditions
As we were leaving the parking lot Saturday
Groomer was going up :eek:
Staging for all 3 areas are at the lots

2 vids below..so you may see how the snow was..
pushing lots of snow downhill
Lots of stucks if you messed up

How pounded out was Allan after you guys finished riding today, wondering if anything is left for a Tuesday ride?

You will have to explore all right.... rode allen Saturday and Sunday Saturday was pretty good out back but Sunday was pounded flat from Super bowl to cabin... grooming was awesome both days parking lot was full on Saturday and only 1/3 full Sunday you will really have to look for a strip of fresh to ride after the volumn of Sledders in Valemount this weekend

Well....rode Allen Creek today. ..
nice groomed trail
Sunshine....but...
Holy poo poo...pounded like the guys mentioned above...
after riding Chappell Friday and Clemina Saturday. ... .
I'd have to say snow at Clemina was MUCH better than allen....
And Chappell creek was EPIC...the best out of all 3 days I rode this weekend..
Never tagged any landmines either of the 3 days
Of course this is my opinion. ...my 2 cents
Just trying to help other sledders with some useful info.
