Thanks for the updates! Any suggestions on where we could stage around whitecourt? or would it be better to head towards fox creek or swan hills? The 4place enclosed takes up a bit of real estate! Hopin theres still some snow in the staging areas!

There should still be lots of snow in the Swan Hills I was out today north of Edson and there was still 2-3 ft. There was a hard layer on top so if you kept moving you were OK. We got brave and tried some cutlines that had no previous tracks on them and regretted it, so after digging ourselves out a few times we stuck to used trails. I would not go out unless you have a track 136" or longer. Most of the roads were bare/muddy so don't plan on using them to get around on your sled.

Lots of snow to the west of swan. Was out quading west of whitecourt yesterday and the creeks are starting to open up and there is lots of flood ice in places but not to bad at all. Buddy of mine is working up west of swan and said there is still tons of snow left, probably almost two weeks of riding left if you dont mind sloppy roads

Yeah, good time to stay off those roads with trailers, that blue Judy Creek mud will send you all sorts of places you don't intend to go.
