[HCR800<3]

Heard through the grape vine that Kakwa got hammered over Christmas... My spidey senses are tingling... Hope it's true!!!!

This is good news. That twitch is contagious.

Hate to burst everyone's bubble but the trail got less than an inch from this snowfall, was in there today, only 4 of us made it past the T, constant moguls from there to the lake. There is almost 6 inches of fresh behind the cabin when we left, but was still snowing. The border still only has about half a meter so looks like a while longer for the groomer. IMO it's a lot of punishment on the rider and machine for the little snow back there.

Looks like all of us from GP are itching to get out to Kakwa... Thanks for the update. Hopefully mother nature gets her act together and starts giving us snow!

Curious question. I was 95% sure that the horn ridge area was out of bounds. I was talking to another fellow and he said it wasn't. Anyone know for sure? Also I was under the impression that they had closed off a part of Ruth so that now you can't go over the back wall. Anyone know? I haven't seen the maps for awhile (been a few years since I rode there). Thanks.

Don't think so.have never heard anything,check on the swan city club website

Does anyone know what the grooming schedule is like or if they have groomed kakwa yet. I know the snow is low this year, just wondering if anyone made it in for a ride this weekend?

Thanks

 

[rotormech]

It's groomed to the lake, snow is down from last year right now though.

 

[gunner3006]

I know they groom to the lake I'm just wondering if they try and do it once or twice a week. The snow is down all over from what I'm hearing, but there was also over 170 sleds in there on Saturday and another 70 on sunday. Those kind of numbers someone is finding snow.

 

[rotormech]

Oh ya there is snow we rode all through broadview in all the hidden medows down through Cecial medows and out,willows open creeks everywhere.like I said it's down 4-5 ft from last year.they groom Thursday night and Saturday night.

 

[gunner3006]

Awsome. Thanks for the info. Might see ya out there sometime.
Cheers
