Throw me a bone

[ttmach1]

I am aware that Cateract in Alberta is trail only zone. I’ve been there a few times this year and I’m brainstorming on an area there that is a little more open opposed to socket in treed in trails


I have a buddy coming down from Edmonton and we are hoping to spend time practicing and teaching my son on carving etc


To save me some time...I have a good map so I was wondering if you guys could recommend a trail that has some open areas with little hills etc


Thanks in advance We will be there at sunrise , depending on where you guys tell me to go either , etherington or Cateract

The cut blocks are great once the snow fills in and sets up .

Just drive farther south nd hit Corbin or Fernie

Having hiked up there in the summer and seen how high they left the stumps I’d say riding those cut blocks might best be saved for later after a lot more snow has fallen. On the other hand, there are several open areas along the trail earlier on that if there has just been a big dump, you could dip into to practice. That is on the trail out of Cataract.

We were out yesterday and there is not enough snow to get off trail. I saw quite a few rocks and stumps that had been exposed by sleds because there is no base. I sure wouldn't risk it yet.
