My app doesn’t show that much snow forecasted. But We did get 5 inches north of spruce Christmas Day.

 

[catmando]

Well whitecourt has snow forecasted for fri sat sun so if it happens mayby swan hill on Sunday ?

Made it to Vilna today. Needs more snow for sure. But trail was fairly smooth. Might have gone further had it been warmer.

There is also a staging area right in town along the railway tracks.
From highway 28, drive into Waskatenau. Continue right down main street till you come to the stop sign at the T-intersection (railway tracks), turn right (west) and in a couple hundred feet and you will see a sign "Iron Horse Staging Area" on you left. There you will find a small parking area and a ramp.

You have to drive your sled east on the shoulder of the road for about 1/4 mile to where the Iron Horse starts.
