Needs to keep snowing, it sure doesn't look good for their big Canada 150 Rally on Family day weekend.

anyone venture up past whitecourt to swanhills goose tower area ?

Rode the triangle recently and the most snow was north Virginia Hills. Half way between Fox Creek and Swan Hills.

 

[cory_697]

how much snow do you figure ?

 

[old mountain man]

About two feet in that area when we rode it. Likely less now with warm weather we had after the ride.

 

[cory_697]

yah best to wait for more snow then

Unfortunately, our Great Canadian 150 Rally has been cancelled due to lack of snow. We are extremely disappointed about this, but we don't want to host an event with poor conditions. We would love to have everyone; however, we want you all to be safe and enjoy your ride on our trails. We look forward to planning and hosting our event next year. Our sled raffles will still occur as planned: Polaris- Saturday February 18th at 4:30pm at the Westward Community Centre and the Ski-Doo at 4:30pm at the Westward Community Centre on Sunday, February19th. Please visit Canadian Tire,Whitecourt IGA, RPM and Adrenaline Powersports to purchase your tickets until then. $5.00 per ticket.

Well that is not good news in regards to having to cancel. Hard to believe not enough snow after the fall we had where it rained every day.

Is there enough snow for any trail grooming? Very quiet on this thread. Thks. in advance.

 

[tmo1620]

No grooming and trails are "closed" i went for a ride to the carson cabin north of town on Sunday, a foot of snow tops out there, not great thats for sure, more snow north west toward swan and more by edson

Looks to be slightly better:

We received a few inches of snow but not the 6 to 8 inches that was forecasted... Still hoping for more.

Staging areas will be open for the weekend. Both SnoCats will be out filling creeks and packing trails. Early season conditions with low snow. All trails have been cleared but there are some logs frozen in that will be removed by SnoCats. Sled with caution and be safe!
