Whitecourt

How are the trails in the Whitecourt area?

 

[Summiteer]

Not Awesome. River is still open, grooming limited to south trails so far for the most part, lots of hangers down on the North trails.

Did you get much snow yesterday, have the trails improved any since before Xmas?

 

[lucm]

Thanks. We rode yesterday, trails weren't to bad but they could use some more white stuff for sure

Rode the southside yesturday found some nice fresh (about 8" on top of 10" base ) towards the end of Manweiller trail witch was getting groomed btw .....it seem the snow is better going towards Foxcreek !



We all wish we had that much snow ....

Was good to see you two out yesterday. You can go right to the river now. There were sled tracks on the Oldman. Quite a difference in snow as you go north!

Yes I cleared that dead fall and went right to the river. Also went back for the Mogul Master and groomed up to the road before the river.

Still a bit shy of snow to groom the Summit trail? Was thinking of having a look this weekend.

Steep hill just before the Athabasca. Steep er than the picture shows!

Was it bad that its a no go or just uncomfortable.

 

[old mountain man]

Neither. I just don't take the drag down it. The Cat alone climbs it easily. The trail ends at the river for heavy traffic anyway about a mile up. Another groomer grooms from the north on the other side. River is not safe for sleds yet.

I had come down and was going back up in the picture.

Looking at making a trip from Cold Lake for the weekend. We're not getting any snow here out of the clipper pushing through. Any recommendations on places to ride? Is it even worth it yet? We were looking at maybe heading north of town on the golden triangle. Any good open fields to play around in up there? Open to any suggestions, as we have never been. Just looking to explore somewhere new.

Just got back from the whitecourt area. First time there and was very impressed. We did the north trails (eagle river) the first day and then grout creek side today. A few bare spots but no issues at all, and the snow was falling as we drove out of town. Well worth the trip.
