Valemount

[Brian D.]

WOW!. honestly i dont know how he did that. ive gone ALONG ways down that creek and it gets so thick and willowy. not a fun trip anyways. glad hes ok.

im just curious. there was a flatspot at the bottom of that first hill.....any idea why he didnt stop there and walk out

I asked him the same thing. He said he thought he could turn around if he went a little further down. But once he slid over the steep part where you guys sledded down to, he saw the slope to the left heading back towards the East and he thought he may be able to get out there.

By the time they picked him up with the chopper, he had walked about 4 miles.

Yeah, glad he is ok. Buddy and I spent the night at the cop shop giving them all the info we had on his location which caused us to miss the banquet at the school..........I think he owes us lots of beer.

I prefer the chalet continental. If you are a facebook friend, they give an extra good rate.
Loose moose is a hit and miss with food. Someone in a group of 4 will get a bad meal.

Caribou grill is the best. Old hotel has some ok chinese food.

Best and I mean best breakfast, is that restaurant about 3 minutes north of Valemount on the highway.. Can't remember the name. 8 vehicles, not one alberta plate in the parking lot. Great prices, AWESOME breakfasts.
Their hashbrowns are wicked, not french fried.

We stayed at the Chalet Continental as well. We had a room with three queen beds and the owner goes out and sweeps the snow off your vehicle each morning!

ya chalet is awesome too. we used to stay there every weekend.

your right about the loose moose it went to poop the last few years.

i think the restraunt your talking about on the highway is just called the family restraunt never been will have to try...

 

[OnlyPolaris]

forgot to mention if you are a guy that needs a pool or a hot tub the one at the premier mountain lodge is under construction to.

 

[maxwell]

lol. actually when we were there is december there were quite a few guys working on it one day. so it may get done in the next 5.

Yup, rode the sled down about 200 yrds from the bottom then started walking the creek. He was lifted out by 9:00 or so the next morning and the sled came out the following day. We sledded two more days while he got caught up on some soaps!

its about friggen time we got some info on this guy i figured he had passed away as not a soul would speak about him

glad to hear hes ok spending a night on the mountain walking out is alot better then what could have happened.

 

[Brian D.]

Yeah, lucky he didn't have his sled roll on top of him or something. Search and rescue wasn't able to assemble until the next morning.

McLennan River Family Restaurant and Truck Stop. Right across Highway 5 from Yellowhead Helicopters. Yellowhead Helicopters is another business in Town that is good to know where it is located so you can tell your buddies where to pick you up should you be unfortunate enough to have you and your snowmobile dropped off there.

Just arrived at valemount and checked in at the nicest place to stay in valemount and that is the legacy vacation rental by whisper creek homes. Shawn and Dianne are the nicest people to deal with, and I would bet all my money that you won't get treated nicer than this. Thank you for a pleasant greeting, great price, and most of all a great place! Thanks a bunch!
