Pembina river -- stay off!!!!

[TylerG]

This is VERY IMPORTANT GUYS!!!!

Just got a call from LeAnn the President of Trailseekers snowmobile club who had been talking with Don Bamber - Royal Elk Products.

DON HAS ADVISED THAT 6 SNOWMOBILERS WERE PULLED OUT OF THE PEMBINA RIVER TODAY ALONE. THEY WENT THRU, THIS IS THE WORST THEY HAVE SEEN THE RIVER IN OVER 25 YEARS

STAY OFF.

I cannot stress this enough guys,

For more information, please contact me here on the site, or call Don Bamber - 780-785-3558.

i've been on the river quite abit this year and it seemed good to me have done the sangudo to rangton trip about 3 times and have not even seen open water in other than the spots that are open every year as i live right beside the river i ride on it all the time with no troubles

The Hogsback area has always been one of the worst areas for not freezing. It has fast flowing shallow rapids that make it not freeze properly. Deep creek area has been known to be another concern. Keep off if your not prepared to keep your speed up and do some water skipping. Thought it would have froze solid last month? Take breaks on the many sandbars!

If Don is near the area... It could be near the Rangeton Park? The river for most part was low before freeze up .
