rode chappel today. trail was very rough. the alpine was pounded out really good with a lot of wind blown areas. really had to search and get creative to find some good snow.

ONLY POLARIS

Could you identify yourself, I was wondering if you have rode out in Blue River at all. I am from Lloyd also and we are planning to go out on Dec 30.

Hello

Very cold day up on the hill today.

Conditions were a bit off this weekend with the cold weather last week and high winds. There was excellent snow available for those willing to get off the beaten path, but the common areas and trails are ridden for sure. We could use some snow, but their is lots left.

I would have to say that Clemina still has the best conditions of the main areas and lots of good riding left within.

Quiet out there today with only 27 riders at Allan and 40 at Clemina, Chappell saw a total of 37 riders this weekend..........

My thermometer on my pack limits out at -30 and she was pinned today, but the forecast is looking good for next week.

First off, stay at the Glacier MOuntain Lodge( S & M site sponsor)- Lex will take care of all your sledding needs. Blue has it all alpine(north blue & Holy grail, Red Sands). boondocking is every where from ground hog(Finn Creek), foam Lake and salmon to mention some. All depends what ya want. I good guy to speak to on this site is dooryder (local young man) full of knowledge and will help you out. Anything else you need just ask.
