Valemount Conditions and Updates

[Summit1]

Rode Allan on Friday we were the first ones up the old trail wasn't even that bad a little ice, but if you hit it right no problem. When we came down the snowfence was all rolled up, I guess people don't think it would be blocked off for any reason, hopefully there is enough snowfall to get things back on track. See you Dec 12

Well just got back from 3 days of riding. or should i say Busting our arses. Rode Chapel on thursday was easy to get in there was a couple of bad creeks but nothing major.
Then all day friday and half the day saterday broke trail into Oasis. What a friggin workout that was. But it was worth it when we finally got in. Looked to me like we were the first into the alpine at Chapel as well. There were tracks all the way to the top but then nothing. Lots of rocks sticking out in both areas but no wrecks. There is only about 2 to 21/2 feet of snow. What a gong show it was getting up throught the cut blocks and trees into Oasis talk about hard work.

You're a better man than me sasksummit i thought about oasis as we drove by to blue river and just could,nt talk myself into that workout. good job for you guys

Unless they get some snow there isn't much use going out it is pounded pretty bad.
Ya scotts it was a workout for sure there were 3 or 4 guys in our group that were real toopers.
Did alot or digging and pulling. took us about 5 or 6 hours just to get up the cut blocks.
then got about halfway to the alpine and didn't know whick way to go. we went back up the next morning and what took 7 hours the day before took half an hour. then about 2 and a half more hours and we finnaly broke through to the alpine. it was worth it once we got in there.

I have never rode Oasis before... heard its pretty sick once u break through... don't feel confident going without somebody who knows the area a bit... if anybody is every riding oasis please let me know as i would love to tag along... see some new terrain.

Auzz

I was in valemount for the weekend and rode allan creek clemina and attempted to get into kehole. Snow is a little thin but more fun than staying home. We didnt make it all the way into keyhole but there was a pretty determined group behind us so hopefully the trail will be open next weekend.

Trail into Cappel wasn't to bad a couple of bad creeks that we had to pull some machines through but nothing to serios.

How is Clemina trail and hazards for a new guy? How are conditions At Allen?
