I had a awesome season sleeding in Valemount again and finding it hard to call it done for the year, being from Fort Mcmurray I can only get down once a month to Vale, so with that saying I was hoping to get runs in as far into the spring or even summer as I can. I was told I could ride down there into June. It would be great if I could get some info as to how long I can ride down in Vale and where. I dont care if I have to drive my truck half way up the mountain or even bring my quad to tow a trailer up there!!! Thanks

Like a highway. Sometimes there is the odd snow patch in a shadowed corner but some big truck always blows through it lol.

If your riding late into spring... I recommend staying off any trails that have "family" in them... as those can be BY FAR..... the most dangerous of all riding areas.

Ya really. Those trees are in MESSED up spots..... What if I decide to make MY trail where there is a tree? I think varda really needs to start taking better control.
