Whitecourt conditions

[brew_doo]

Rode on Sunday nd it was the best riding I have one all year there. There was a very large tree own on trail from points 8 to 9. According to Trailblazers website they are trying to lear it. The power grids were hardly touched and had deep snow.

That tree is getting dealt with tomorrow - thanks for reporting it to the club members that you spoke to at the cabin.

I am glad we were able to get message to the club. The trails are some of the best maintaned and marked trails in Alberta. The people we met were very nice and a great time was had by all.

Is it dumping snow in Whitecourt like it is here in Edmonton? I may have to come up tomorrow if it is.

Nope, never got a flake of the snow that hit the city. Westlock got 40cm though.

Was out there this past weekend (Mar. 23/24) and conditions were wicked! We went south to the Groat Creek area, and found tons of powder (3-5 ft deep) and lots of untouched stuff. Tried to stay away from the cut blocks, because of the stumps and stuff, but perfect sun and weather. Wasn't busy at all. Buddy got stuck quite a bit on my short track Yammy (with 1.5 paddles) but I only got stuck once on my Assault. And yes, I was trying!

Here are a couple of stuck pics. My buddy on my 98 Yammy Vmax XTC-P (700 triple, 121 with 1.5 paddles and mountain skis), and then me on my 13 RMK Assault.

We have been out trail cleaning on the Whitecourt this weekend and most of our trails are just waiting for a bit more snow now. We have 5-6" of snow on them at best and not much frost in the ground so there is still mud in areas Its going to be another few weeks and a few more inches of snow before we can really sled around here.

Awesome, thanks for the update!

Any snow there yet, from this last shot?

 

[Summiteer]

had a pretty good melt and some rain last week, we've had about 4 inches since Friday in town. Creek crossings have just enough ice to make you think they are safe to cross. It's getting there.

Snow is pretty decent right now. You might need to go a ways to find untracked powder. Watch for open creeks and wet spots. No grooming has been done yet. Staging areas are open.

Being part of the club executive we need to set a good example!

Was in Whitecourt on the weekend and the snow was amazing! Later in the day Saturday it started to get pretty wet and lots of areas were crushed but there's still lots left. Had a great time other then 2 break downs and friends new to them sleds. An m1000 broke the crank and the nytro in the pic broke a bracket on the tensioner wheels. Both first rides out on them! Can't wait to get back out there.
