Valemount Conditions Nov 2007

[Depsnolvr]

A few creek crossings, some bumps, but by morning there will be a foot of snow on it. Overall the trail is in good shape, although I would not take a first timer yet

Where is the staging area located for Chappell?

58km +- south towards blue river. Look for the Pipline station on the left and the lot is on the right

I have a first timer with me for this weekend's trip. Is it too advanced? I have never ridden there either and just not sure what to expect.

Chappell... Will be good for a first timer, or Clemina.

The area overall would be good, but the trail does have some sections that would be tougher for a beginner. Creek crossings, willows, steep end section etc. Once up in the alpine, its quite a nice easy area with killer snow

Schwabe was going to drive but changed his mind and decided to Fly to Princeton instead snowing really good here the past week. Going to ride tomorrow around here to see if there are any kinks in the turbo...

We will be through on th 15th of DEC. Staying at the cougar...hopefully we will have room for the deck..

Looks like we still need more snow to begin grooming. Just not building up quick enough at lower elevations. Forcast is for snow on Sun/Mon so were are now aiming to head out for the first time on wednesday/thursday, weather depending of course !

Do you know how much fresh has fallen since last weekend their depsnolvr

The CAA is reporting a bit of a dangerous snowpack and getting worse over the weekend. Travel Smart and be aware of your area

Twas brisk -21 this morning

We rode Allan Creek today. Yes, the trail is pretty rough, once you get up, there is some great snow still to be had. Nice clear day, but damn cold.
