How about Powder King

[flabbajabba]

That sucks that one can spoil it for the rest of us! I will probably never go there now. Its a long drive to nowhere as it was, now to have to worry about your truck, where to park,not welcome, etc. And the worst part, the waitress/bartender with the sled was SMOKING HOT.

We still go buy we park at Azozzetta lodge it is about 3 miles up the hiway to Chetwynd. I think he has rooms and you are locked in over night. He sleds and is a nice guy when you get to know him, He has coffee and hotdogs for lunch. My next trip in I will get some info from him and pass it on.

We are going out on Saturday to Oldfriend. That is right by Powderking more south and on the east side of the road, Good sledding but the road sucks 7k in. We have 6 guy's now. If Saturday works get back to me. We are out of Fort St. John

We stayed at Powder King last week for 4 nights in a cabin right on the hill. We had a great time, lots of fresh snow. We went over to PK one morning and spoke to Jim, the owner, about riding around the ski hill. He was a pretty good guy (not a bad guy at all) and he gave us the lowdown on where we could ride around the hill. They have groomed the pipeline both ways from the ski hill for us to ride on to get away from the hill. Once you get to where the groomer has turned around you can blast up through the trees anywhere you want. Right at the ski hill there is a groomed trail that goes down below the hill, use it. When riding on the groomed trail near the residential area's, drive slow. There is a lot of locals that own and ride sleds at PK so they are not totally against sleds. Use your head when riding near the hill, respect the rules there and we should be able to keep on riding there. Look on PK's website for a link to the cabin rentals at the hill, if you're interested. Just checked PK's website 545 cm base, but no snow in the last 72 hours. Oh yah there website is powderking.com, hope this helps.

hey frock we stayed at PK for a week at the end of March. Same experience with Jim the hill owner. Rode the groomed trail till it ended then did whatever we wanted. Did ask about parking at the hill and he seemed to think it would be alright ASK 1ST and he charged $10/day seems reasonable to me way cheaper than the experiences I have had parking on the highway.

[frock]

Yes I parked my truck and 4 place enclosed at the hill as well. No room at the cabin except on the street and they were plowing them everyday. I was kind of leary of leaving my truck there, but nothing was touched. For sure Renegad, $10/day is way cheaper then what some have lost parking on the highway. Renegad, where do you guys ride when you stay at PK?

Cheers;
Shane

Thanks Renegad, I live up in the area and have ridden these areas for just about 20 years yet I've never ridden Old Friend or Reynolds Cabin. Do you know these areas?

[renegad]

I have ridden into Old Friend and Reynolds cabin many times. Never went in to Reynolds this year but end of March went to Old Friend the trail was broke to Reynolds as I met some people on their way out. No bridge though so had to skip the river. Later in the season the Missichinka can roar which makes dragging a skimmer tricky

[frock]

Where do you live Renegad? Your profile indicates Dapp, where's that? I've been living in Hudson's Hope for over 3 years and prior to that Chetwynd.

I own property in the pass but dapp is a 3 horse town in alberta
