Chatter creek

Agreed that would be the only legitimate out come for something like this.. Seeing how it's a well know place u would think that's how it would work...

Again, agreed. An arbitrary no refund policy when they cancel the "event". I could start a Magic Flying Carpet Skidoo tour to the base of Everest... only 5k down..... we leave in 2017. Oops sorry, I changed my mind, no refunds, **** you.

uh huh

If you haven't experienced chatter, you have no idea.
We have to secure out spots a year in advance and put 25% down anyways.
If you don't like it, you have the choice. Don't go there. More epic sledding for us.
We will
Have to wait another year to go. Oh well. It sucks.
We might still go up and camp there.

Oh trust me... any place that can't manage a refund will never see a dime from me. Consumers are generally powerless, and the only thing they can do is vote with their wallet. I'm adept at it. There's a million places to sled .. I could go to a new spot every weekend for the rest of my life and never see the same place twice.... I won't be missing it at all.

If you were paying attention here as recently as last week, people were selling their spots..... people had to drop out or plans changed etc.... that won't change. I wonder what tune people will be singing if it happens again next year lol

I just talked to them on the phone. They will be keeping your payment and registration for next year, not a big deal to me, I had a deposit in well over 6 months in advance anyways.

If you can't go on that date next year, they will try move you around, if that doesn't work, they can sell your spot for you. There is a no refund policy that you should have been aware of before booking.

So what happens if they go out of business? Anybody think of that?

I wonder what could be so wrong with the road at km1? That has to be right at the gravel pit.

Heard an avy took the road out.

Thought you only ever rode Cataract creek anyways?

Hope someone that's actually booked in can chime in....

This would of been 5th yr at chatter It's aspecial place when it comes to backcountry sledding and everything else involved. In the past you're deposit is left the day you leave for the next year. For those who have been and understand the waiting it takes to snag a spot will understand. Tough one to bite when building anticipation for months, but they're safety is priority. Clearly entry isn't deemed safe to access the area, whether from mud slides or avalanches. I've seen some nasty paths cleared away off the logging road.

Well I was one that had to sell my spots but happy to get a refund to the guys that bought them and will leave my money there paid in full for next year! Can't wait to see this place for years to come **** happens oh well most of you spend more than 800 dollars on a weekend doing something it's money already spent ! can spend next years maybe on the sled now

there was a massive soft spot(break up) right around here... at the time you could get by on the sides but maybe something has changed. A avy is not going to wash the road out, there's not enough snow down low right now

Tanks for the update guys and girls. We had a crew planning a trip up there this weekend.

Can some one confirm if the problem at the 1km is at the 1km on the bush arm forest service road near the gravel pit just past waitabit creek or 1km up chatters road off the B road?

Oh wait, seeing as the 1km marker is only about 15km from where im sitn rite now I should go have a look eh ...

 

[Shadam]

Just got word 1km mark just past waitabit ck ...

Damn it !!!

We always enjoy playing in many places on the B road in spring.

 

[CUSO]

I just heard from a source, that the road was fine this afternoon all the way up to km 21.

He drove in, and was seeing sledders leaving.
This was this afternoon.

I will be keeping a close eye on this thread,
Shadam, or any local, could you please confirm for us?

In general that isn't too far from the truth.... it's the closest and most convenient, and I STILL haven't seen it all. It's not 100% true though, as I've ditch banged in Carbon, sled around Sundre, Have gone to Chestermere lake for an afternoon here and there, and even tried the Olds club trails....

Sh!t does happen... but no I don't spend $800 on a weekend. That's pretty much my budget for an entire season.... I wish.
