my sled is loaded, anybody else wanna go for a rip out and see what it's like this afternoon??? do a quick run around the trails?

Bummer, I'd have been in! I was running around my neighnorhood driving the neighbors crazy Sunday morning! Gotta get them used to the noise....build up thier tollerance.

Nedsac, thanks for doing the trail work! Bummer 'bout the suspension.

 

[neddacsac]

I'll chalk it up to taking one for the team!

Does anyone have any GPS waypoints of the area? Parking lot, cool spots, etc? Thanx

[neddacsac]

Thanks. Gotta set of new ones coming this week.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Anyone go out to Cataract this past weekend? I have some new carbides but they are not going on for a few weeks yet....I am assuming conditions have not really changed in the past week or so as we have not seen any new snow lately....If they allowed quads up there I would be there every weekend searching for snow....

If you go to the Elkford Trails website, they have some of the trails for Cataract Creek mapped on Google Earth. Here's a link.

Anyone have a condition update? would like to get a short ride in before we head west next week?

 

[shawnmcgr]

Elkford has really done a good job of mapping thier trails! Has anyone ever ridden to thier club cabin? What's the trail like from the pass to the cabin? Is the cabin open to everyone or locked up?

I've ridden over the pass to play in the BC bowels but never dropped into the Elk Valley

Thanks,
Shawn

Hey all I was thinking of heading out this Sunday or Monday, forecast is for snow a few nites here in Calgary so here's to hoping. If anyone gets out there this weekend please post.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

I spoke to a guy at the Lougheed provincial park. He said there is not enough snow right now to sled....they had received 25cm recently but that snow went on top of bare ground....says the creeks are still open and they need one more good snowfall before riding....

The upside is that we have the snowmobile show this weekend....Lets all hope for some pretty female greeters (eye candy) at the door.....

I was in the area Dec 6th and theres only 6" of snow.It needs more time.

 

[Barster]

Got 4" here in Cochrane in last 3 hrs. Wondering if Longview and Cattaract gettin any

 

[Rhoc]

Going to head out on Sunday. We should get more snow this Friday and in SW Calgary we have about 6" so lutz all pray for some
PS was out in Bragg creek on Sunday, about 6" - 8" in the loading areas but over a foot once you start climbing up hill.

[foothills m8]

Drove out to cattarack/Etherington parking lot today,seems like it got 6 inches last weekend some one rode out of etherington.I would say if we get more snow this weekend should be able to ride there slowly.

 

[retiredpop]

Maybe this weekend. At least the weather forecast sounds promising for some snow. Do the Dance

 

[Summit X]

Snow looks very promising, but dress warm!!! It's gonna be a cold one.

 

[SX_Viper_mtx]

is there much snow coming down by bragg creek/macleans? wouldn't mind takin the old girl out for a rip to test out the pipes..

 

[greginbragg]

It is coming down pretty hard in Bragg Creek right now. We had about 8inches before it started today so should be a foot and a half by tomorrow?? I'm going to try Mclean tomorrow too. Once you start to climb should be decent amount of snow.
