I read last night on facebook they have started grooming yes.

Snocats have been out filling creeks but have not pulled the drags yet. They will be starting grooming on the south trails tomorrow.

Snow is pretty decent now. Most south trails have been groomed! Warm weather for the weekend! Should be great!

We bought our seasons passes and rode almost all the way to Silver Summit from the Groat Creek Staging area on Saturday, some of the hills were getting a bit chewed up but we managed to find some great snow to play around in. Big thanks to those who work so hard to keep the trails maintained in the area!

Was there much traffic past the Summit cabin? Will groom to Tom Hill once the trail is packed down a bit.

It seemed like most of the sleds from the Groat staging area turned north at intersection #35, so from there towards the Shiningbank lookout there was only two other sleds on the trail, they turned around just beyond Shiningbank.

Will wait for more traffic before grooming!

[old mountain man]

Pretty decent snow over that way!

Expecting 30-40 cm of snow the next few days. Snowing hard in Whitecourt!

How much has fallen so far?

Maybe 25-30cm, tough to tell with the wind

Thinking of making a day trip to whitecourt, couple questions. Does one have to stay to the trails or is there open areas to ride also? If so where's the best place to stage and head to? We all have mountain sleds and don't want to wreck them, also how's the snow?

 

[tmo1620]

Just go west find oilfield roads take them north and find a good powerline and start exploring
