Newbie Riding Area

[DaveDave]

Hey guys, Im new to snowmobiling and would like to find a place to ride that's good for beginners. I live in Surrey, so Im looking for an area around Whistler, or the Coquihalla highway. A place thats easy to access that I can learn to ride. Any suggestions would be great. THX

brandywine .. big parking lot, easy trails in and out .. easy meadows to play in, small hills to get you started.. just don't take a wrong turn to the metal domes on your first day on a sled

ps. ur not going alone, are you ?

Thx, and no I won't be going alone. I have a friend who has been riding for a while. Where abouts is brandywine, and is it easy to find your way around once you are there?

GPS is a good idea in the backcountry if you don't know the area.

brandywine is pretty popular spot .. it opens up to a huge glacier, but you won't be going there on your first day. the first meadow is a pretty easy spot to get to and play around .. you won't get lost. the parking lot is about 20 minutes south of whistler .. I think its $25 trail fee ...

blackcomb snowmobile tours operate there so its pretty safe and easy to get in and out of

if your riding buddy rides the sea to sky he'll know where it is..

you don't need a gps to ride brandy.. well, not the meadow anyway
