Re: Alberta Beach 2013 Family Day Rally - Feb 18
Just wondering. Never been to a rally either this late or early in the season. Isnt there a lot of snow around to have a rally/derby? Is this on groomed trails or something. Anyone been to this one before? Just moved to Fort Sask. Would this be in Morinville?

This is part of sno mo days. There should be a sled rally on the Saturday and the quad rally on Monday. Ran through there last week and snow isn't an issue.

I have yet to attend an ATV rally in the middle of winter...what can we expect from a grooming perspective? I have a stock Rancher 4x4 with stock tires....would I be spending the day shovelling?

It's mostly 4x4's. Some people show up with 2wd units but they struggle on the hills and deeper snow. If the snow is sticky at all they will likely be miserable unless the trails are well packed. At the december rally, we had a 2wd with us and the poor guy sweated his bag off.

I'm working a checkpoint for the sled rally so maybe I'll have to take in the Quad rally....

Re: Alberta Beach 2013 Family Day Rally - Feb 18
i ride every weekend in the winter.. We down here in Calgary have a few large groups that ride all the time.. snowing or not.. We are right in the mountains and lots of our trails have long steep climbs and decents... we get thru 99% of the time.. even on the hills, even if we have a foot of snow.. no problems.. just like snowmobiling except nothing super fast.. we cruise average 60 - 70 k all the time...
the guy on the 2 x 4 must of not bin a good rider! ..lol cause we have a 22 yr old on a 525 outlaw.. no studs.. and he makes it up every hill we do.. he has to work it on some hills but not as much as you think.. its a lot of rider and how you keep the machine in motion with speed...
heck, believe it or not we have 2 guys on dirt bikes with studded tires come with our group of quadders.. they are definetly impressive, cause they make the complete rides we do and all the hills.. but they do heav and tout some up some of the hills.. good riders forsure...
Hedge rides with us alot and will voch for what i have said here... if he reads it...lol

Sounds great>look forward to it. Any idea what you're expecting for turnout? Sorry to ask dumb questions. Just moved here. Alberta Beach is near Morinville? I searched Google map on AB beach and thats what shows. Will you post up a map of the start?

There is a lot of ice here Mark and we don't generally have studs on the tires. Also the snow doesn't really set up here, it is like sugar which can make snowmobiling fun too. I really want to get down your way for some winter quadding looks like a blast.
