The Summit trail south from Whitecourt to the cabin is groomed. Also the Goodwin trail to cabin is groomed. The Manweiler trail from Summit cabin to the Athabasca is packed and creeks filled in. Groat canyon trail from staging area west has been packed and creeks filled in. Trails south of Athabasca will be all groomed next week before weekend.

Went for a ride today in the whitecourt area, they definitely need more snow. What i found i was 1-1.5 ft with a decent base, lots of stuff you can hit still! They need a good snow fall before i go back.

Not sure where you were sledding. Whitecourt is a big area! Pretty good snow south and west of town. It does vary about a foot in places.
Another decent dump last night!

If you went from the Eagle River staging area the snow is a bit thin until you get over towards the Gundy cabin. I rode it yesterday. Snow is a lot better south of town and west. The Groat Creek staging area is a good place to start. The trail will be groomed tomorrow.
