Yep, 4th picture is valley South of Mount Bolton. 1st and 2nd are in that valley too.

3rd picture is just before the first "bare ridge" you cross coming in. North side of the trail up through the trees. All the snow blown off the ridge lands in there. That area was most fun on Saturday.

Please be aware that everything on the Alberta side is out of bounds off the trail. If we want to keep this area open we need to respect the boundary.

The people who know the area try to educate the others who don't know what is in and out of bounds. There is a sign (maybe even 2) along the trail that does clearly outline the boundary of Don Getty Wilderness Provincial Park as you enter it, that is the section we must all stick to the trail for. However when bombing down the trail at high speeds as most of us do, i don't think a lot of people stop to read the signs. We as a group need to try to be more aware of the restrictions in all areas, whether it be Caribou, Wilderness Parks or Glaciers.

There was a "skiff" of new snow in the Cataract Creek parking lot today, and the grader was on the 940 moving off 2"-3" of snow that had blown onto the road. While driving in, it looked as if there was snow to the south/west, so I expect the more western-southern trails got a bit more.
I was there to pull the axle off my 2-place sled trailer that broke down two weekends ago and had to be left. It seems that there are some class "A" A-holes that drive to there, as someone had broken my ball lock off - for what reason I do not know as the trailer was missing a wheel/tire and wheel hub. Further, they had drilled into the receiver to remove the ball that had broken off the locking device and become stuck in the receiver - further damaging the receiver. This after some other people (?) burnt the unloading dock there at least three weeks ago. What is going on with peoples' thinking?

Not sure where you mean? Did you mean to "reply with quote" to another post?
Sorry, I was referring to the pictures Nitrbkr had posted. Thought it might be at Catarct. Buddy of mine and I where out looking for this playground I'd heard about but couldn't find it. We drove down the 940 past Wilkinson Summit turn off about 20k came to a small open area but nothing to write home about. Bought a new sled but not enough time now to head out to far so figured I'd give it a little break in close to home. Can't seem to find these open meadows in Cataract that I see in some of these pictures or You Tube videos. Thx for your reply

The pics came from Fording on Tuesday. If you haven't been there before you will need to go with someone to find out how to get there. I have been over there many of times and as usual Tuesday was a complete blizzard up top at the pass, even tho the sun was shining on either side.
As you can see in previous posts, people think they are there, but they are actually playing in the no no zone of the park.
It's a dirty trip over but "sometimes" you get spoiled by the snow gods. As a buddy and I definitely did a couple days ago.
