Looks like its clear tonight and tommorow, then snow is in the forcast for the next few days. Hmmm, should be good next week.

Also a reminder to all, Mountain Mania Banquet is in Valemount on Saturday January 19, 2019, at the community hall, Buy your tickets now as they are selling and wont be sold at the door. Only a few more weeks, this is in support of the new Allen Creek Cabin and Varda. See, Mountain Mania XI - Valemount, BC - Jan 19, 2019 - Tickets Available Now.

Just wondering why they won’t sell them at the door Ron?

I had the same reaction!!

What??

There was a post on Facebook stating Allen could not be groomed, as a truck that attempted to drive up the trail was stuck on the trail.

Truck and trailer...
I really hope the story comes out behind that logic.

What??

I had the same reaction, if i was the groomer operator id be throwing a chain around the axle and dragging it back to the staging area. But thats just me.

I’m pretty sure this poor owner is mighty embarrassed...but really...what were you thinking...lol

 

[RXN]

Wonder if it is anyone on here.

Or just push it off the trail.

Does truck have a “I luv Trudeau “ sticker on it ?
Unreal how stupid people can be this day and age .

It's not really that hard to do with the possible excitement of the first trip of the year and a newb seeing all of the comments about driving up to KM x at various other riding areas. It certainly isn't any of the regular Snow and Mud warriors. We're all way too smart for that.

I was there yesterday and did not see a truck on the trail, we were on the trail at 7:15am and down at 3pm running on fumes. Obviously happened after that and wouldnt be the first time i would have seen that!

1. It is classified as a private event for both insurance and liquor license. With tickets at the door it is not a private event anymore. This changes big time then for both liquor licence obligations and insurance premiums.

2. The caterer is planning to cook for 150 people which means we must sell 150 tickets and there is a shortfall who pays for that, Us. We have to let them know 7 days prior to the event.

3. This event In Valemount typically sells out in the first week of January. And we always end up getting asked by many peeps to get in and we have a capacity that we can’t.

So if you or any one that is planning on attending this don’t beat around the bush too long or you will not be able to attend this banquet.

Otherwise back to Valemount conditions thread, let it keep snowing and providing awesome conditions for us to all enjoy and talk about.

Merry Christmas from the VARDA Crew.

Riding has been amazing over the last week and we are happy to say that all three major areas are running as normal and will be maintained throughout the holidays.

Staff and the groomers will be taking a short break on the 25th/26th and will be returning back to the trails on the evening of the 26th.

It looks like its going to be a week of sun mixed with some cloud. There is not a lot of precip in the current forecast, although last weeks storm gave us a good dose and there are plenty of fresh lines left out there for now.

This will be the last update for the holidays unless we see some major changes.

Ride safe.
