We used to go on the february long weekend which I think is presidents day in the states and all the manufacturers would be there....testing new iron.

I'll have to dig up the pics of two top and lionhead mountain..... the groomed trails go right over or around the mountain play areas..... lots of mountain areas to hit as well.

Thanks, we are going in Feb. Somehow I got to be the organizer. Never been but it sounds like a great place.
I noticed your location Morinville. One couple going with us is from Morinville and now making their home in Sicamous. Gotta love those oil patch jobs that let you live where you want.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Riding around town on your sled, the rustic shops and restraunts and friendly people. The snow was disappointing though. Last January rode in 2 ft of total snow at altitude. Loved the trail riding and stopping at pubs for a burger and beer though.

Well we get our deep snow fix here so that sounds like something fun. We are also doing some riding in Whitefish area on the trip.

That was obviously a bad snow year..... every time we went there was 10 feet in town and the people were having trouble getting to their houses....just like revy

That's awesome, my wife wants to go there in the spring for a sled vacation

You should have come in February, Ken. Was tons of snow then. This was just 4 hours of snow fall the one night.

The elevation of west yellowstone montana is 6666 feet. To put that in perspective, the cabin at boulder mountain in revelstoke is at around 6000 feet and when you first break out into the alpine at the end of the trail is 6500 feet.

we were ther last christmas. snow was not great but still had fun. Getting burgers out on the trail was nice. Not many venture to far off trail so we still had lots of untouched snow. Going back this christmas as it is cheap there.
