Well done! You got the area nailed. Went in on North Dore, amazing views, lots of fun.

Here's another pic for you to guess where!

Harlick is the camp ground east of nordegg. To the north of that up the camp 15 road is where we unload. Then find a trail with snow and go west. The are big pipe lines that are a good time. U can tell the difference between a new line and a old one. They leave stumps ect on purpose. Fackers

looks like that area may have got more snow agin last night. lots of snow lumps on the side of the highway this morning coming in to work, and a few pretty solid snowed up trucks and trailers.

How far west of the trunk road were ya

Honestly can't remember. Probably staged about 2 miles west of the truck road. from there maybe 10 miles but just guessing. We basically rode a snow covered road that went past a campsite. It depended on which cutline or road we were on. On some of the cutlines that head west we never saw those signs again.

i went to an area west of rockey at a staging area called hummingbird and tried to follow the valley, there was only about 6-10" of snow, not even close to enough to cover the rocks, has anyone else been there and if they have where do you go to hit snow?

Just wondering if there's enough snow off the David Thompson from Rocky to Nordegg. Heading over there Dec 29, 30, 31. If anyone knows.....how is the Chambers Creek Snowmobile Trails? Enough base to have some fun?

Thanx .

as we have been telling you the area hasn't enough snow, we need a good dump alright, you have to go way back to onion lake and into the sled area. may have to wait until late january. boundary area would be your best bet i think, you may need a saw for fallen trees.

i would be the last to tell ya not to go. the snow is skinny, stumps rocks etc just under the snow. i'd suggest waiting for some more snow. any snow now will be good as there will be a perfect base if we get a few inches.
