[tko sled ed]

Our group just ordered 7 from ray I have had them for the last 4 yrs they work great also if you need to access some logging roads for remote access they have that ability as well. Another thing is when hwy closed pull out radio get all latest updates from the truckers

I’m sold on garmin rino. This way you can PIN there location if communication is lost. Just buy a external microphone to use with radio use.

How do you work that? For me it only reports location if you make communication. Or you pole your buddy and it connects. No connection, no location! It’s Not live tracking. I had higher expectations.

I still carry and use the gps, but rarely use the location positioning feature!

"DUMPED" that has such a negative connotation.

Alan today

 

[Foxstar45]

Looks near ready to ride!

 

[Jorg Jorgenson]

What is the status of the Allen trail? Is it still in need of any repairs (or maybe never was?) would be curious as to when VARDA will decide to open the gate for first-comers if this snow keeps up

 

[Jjanke]

As Jorg asked above... Any idea if the lower gate to Allan is open if someone wanted to venture up the old trail?

 

[Depsnolvr]

Sorry all, gate may be open some time LATE next week as long as the weather stays very cold. The road gets heavily damaged when people try to chew their way in there with trucks. Its still October. I see people are accessing Bell though.

Im glad I asked for November delivery on my turbo. It resists the temptation thats for sure not having a new shiny sled in the garage.

I definitely anxious to get after it tho.

Little someth’in someth’in starting in VTown this morning

 

[turboetech]

Someone made it up Allen today....tracks on cabin cam and snow measuring stick installed now good job thx

 

[VARDA]

The lower gate is open now. Trail has full coverage but is very thin. Alpine snow levels are a thin 50cms and its mashed potatoes. You can see an update vid on our facebook or instagram and our MIN post over on Avalanche.ca

Nice to see an early start to winter, but hope it picks up and cools off!

And remember.....its still October and not a lot of sled parts available...

Ride safe

I thought the old cabin was supposed to get chopped up?

 

[Caper11]

Nice to see sled tracks on the cabin cam.

New plan. A very ambitious local is going to repurpose it and its less impact on the land to do that in the winter.

you guys should try the gathering tree. New owner is awesome, open in the mornings, better coffee, mountain lunches to go and 10% off to VARDA members.

Oh! And they actually give back to the club! Support those that support your sport!
