Fort McMurray Conditions 08/09 Season

[Dare]

No, we are not riding yet, that I know of, but we do have snow falling fairly regular up on Stoney. As soon as it is rideable, I will let everyone know. Some trail work required up on Stoney as soon as the muskeg is frozen hard enough to support the quads and tubs, unless we get enough snow before that. Know BEFORE you go is still the rule. Ice forming on some of the smaller ponds.

I saw a guy in Anzac on an 07 summit today. there's only 1/2 inch of snow.

 

[Scuba]

snow finally coming down...........can't wait to break out the new dragon.:d

 

[Slamnek]

Theres around 3 inches at Anzac right now. I've been seeing a few sled tracks in the ditch.

 

[Slamnek]

Snowing like crazy in Anzac right now.

 

[Scuba]

I saw a bunch of sled tracks in the ditches on my way back home yesturday i wouldn't suggest doing that so early lots of rocks....etc. Hope it keeps on coming down this week.

About 4 inches of snow in Saprae Creek right now. Snow is in the forecast in the next couple days so we will see what happens. Not able to ride yet, as the ground is still not frozen much so still lots of water in the ditches.

Soon.

I'm going to have to take out the dragon this weekend for a little ride, looks like i'll be going to stony mountain...........I can't wait.

 

[Slamnek]

I seen 6 guys in the ditch outside of Anzac last night. 2 more inches fell over night.

 

[Scuba]

Rode this weekend for a couple hours, unloaded on tower road, I was suprised on how much snow was really out there i could actually carve with the amount out there, lots of people out on sat, it was warm that day and snow seemed to be setting up so now we should have a little base for when the big dump comes, hopefully sooner than later.

 

[quickclicker]

Yeah we rode from stoney mountain to the burger bar on saturday..there were TONS of people out there riding..It was a great day.. were gonna need more snow and a little colder weather because the trails are getting pretty beat up quick

 

[cscherer]

Was out on Saturday for the first ride of the year....not bad, but tons of riders everywhere...need snow now...would not recomend anyone riding there again until another snowfall comes...

[Scuba]

I wouldn't go riding up here anymore now that the warm weather has come, it will give us a good base but we desperately need more snow now. I think that you will be looking for trouble if you go now.

 

[quickclicker]

Yeah i would have to agree..it was getting bad last weekend..lots of stumps sticking up and stuff.

doesnt look like were getting alot colder weather or snow anytime soon!

 

[Pawel]

Hey guys how much snow by Conklin in total?

 

[Dare]

Just a friendly reminder from the Sno-Drifters. The trails are still considered closed and they are use at your own risk. We have not openned up either Stoney or Anzac yet, and will not do so until there is more frozen ground and more snow. I have already heard of one sled being totaled on Stoney due to a tree under the snow tossing the sled to the bush. Sled Smart everyone, Stupid Hurts.
