In them hills.
Whoever's sled burnt down at the top of the Allan Hillclimb it was choppered out today. Pilot spent about 20 min circling to find it. So hopefully your insurance covers that too lol.

Pockets of untouched left. Main hwy is hammerd as mentioned above.

Need this ridge to breakdown so we can get a reload.

Noticed some fair sized hoars today as it twas a clear night Monday, and looks to be that way for the foreseeable future.

Had a great weekend. Sun came out on Sunday for us. Wanted to thank everyone that kept digging my machine out and cleaning it off over the last month as we waited for good weather. Old girl is thawing out at home now and no parts missing!

Grooming has begun!

All three main riding areas are in full grooming mode. Alpine snow levels are sitting good with a great base for this time of year.

Fresh snow levels are down and the riding areas are showing it on the regular paths. Move off the goat paths and there is still some great snow out there, but you may have to get a bit dangly.

The riding has been exceptional for early season. The warmer temps and sunshine forecasted for this week are not necessarily setting things up for a face shot, but you should still be able to get some very sunny gopro footage and pics!

Ride Safe

Rode Clemina Friday and Allan Saturday, beautiful conditions, best trails I have seen at Valemount, no untracked snow anywhere. Oh well, better than not going.

Yeah I did the same on the same days, was a bit of untouched at Allan but you had to be desperate or mentally ill to attempt getting to it... Looks like a reload is coming next weekend... I'll be in the Shuswap for 10 days over Christmas so fingers crossed.

Well…..after a great weekend of sun filled riding, we would have to agree that it is getting very difficult to find a fresh track in the popular areas without getting vertical. Forecast is showing a few clouds coming in later in the week and whatever amount of precipitation they bring, we need it. In these times we can see people venture slightly into the wildlife closures looking for a fresh track. This CANNOT HAPPEN. Please help us out with a bit of will power for yourself and by providing some peer pressure to others who may not fully understand the true effect that this has on our snowmobiling community.

CAUTION Clemina Creek - At times this week, there will be some infrequent industrial tracked machine traffic moving slowly on the groomed Clemina trail up to the 10km junction. The contractors have been very great to work with and are trying to affect the groomed access route as little as possible, so please be kind and respectful when passing or going near equipment.
