Ya its really big if you know where to go, ran into lots of guys out there that have asked me where do they go to get back to the staging area, they were all turned around and never realised they were only 10km from the truck........lol, also run into lots of guys at the end of the day that ask me where i found all the snow as my sled is just covered in snow and they spent all day doing loops on the trails........ I always politely decline to release the info on my honey holes

Was up at goose tower riding yesterday, up to your waist in most areas, it was pretty warm out though so the snow was getting set up. Had a good ride

I am thinking of heading to Swan hills on the weekend, I've been there a couple of times in the last 3 or 4 years but have never been able to find goose tower. I am somewhat directionally challenged, my wife says says I'd never make it out of West Edmonton Mall without her help (she's right). Could anybody offer some assistance, I am trying to find a place with lots of snow but no avy hazard to take my daughter and her boyfriend so we can build some skills before doing serious mountain riding. Thanks.

If you pick up an oilfield lease map it will help you navigate the area - shows roads, wellsites, lakes, rivers and the goose tower road. Can never get lost if you have this handy.

We are also planning to head out this weekend.

Sounds good, any idea where to get one of those maps?

was there around Christmas. we were around mile 27 and there was about 48" or better and it snowed 8-10" when we were there. there was a nasty crust about a third of the way down. it was some good riding the trees and cut lines were good but we were hitting some stumps in the open areas.

Thanks for the info, will check out the maps for sure. Looks like we're headed for Valemount this weekend after all.

Its km 28 not mile 27, send someone to mile 27 and they will almost be out of the goose tower hills right past goose mountain and almost in high prairie
