Why is this in the N.W.Alberta section?

Swan is NW of the GBCA therefore it is in NW alberta.....

I know that nobody loves giving up their "secret" sweet spot... but for newbie to the area is there anybody with gps map or google map overlay of the swan area? Where to unload, where to ride or even just where to start?

To stage go strait through town to the stop sign. Go strait through the sign onto the gravel road. Take second left into the pump jack. Stage there, head north along that same road. That will take you strait to the trail system

any update on the snow, swan hills must be getting blasted right now.

The bulk of this storm is to hit south of Swan Hills, but the goose may get hit harder by it then in the townsite.

I'm going Saturday, will see what the conditions are like...

 

[brew_doo]

No huge snow storm here in the Judy Creek/Swan Hills area.... maybe a few inches overnight.

Not bad, but not great.......foot of base more in areas.... Goose tower might have more than enough about 4" or so overnite but it looks like heavy cloud and -18c, so it might warm up and snow a little more. Should be able to get a ride in without much damage
