The first set is the Westridge area just behind the town of Valemount. You would park and unload that the hydro station at the beginning of the westridge FSR. Head south from Valemount about 1km until you see the mill turnoff on the left, turn right at this intersection and follow the gravel road to the substaion and have at it.

The second set is from a logging road down the east side of kinbasket lake. Just park at the beginning of any one of the mulitlple FSR and head on up for an adventure. I will give the name soon, but there is a mineral claim up there with some small machines workin and I cannot lead folks in that direction until some safety measures are taken, signs etc

Great camping down this areas as well

I will be posting pics and giving advice on some areas this summer, but the work I am doing now is for next year. I need to ride and record these areas, then discuss them with other users, ministries, loggers, miners etc before VARDA can promote them as an organization, but feel free to call or email and I will be sure you have a good time.

Awesome Pics Curtis... That Snow Avalanche Across The Trail Is Incredible... Can See The Dirtline In The Snow Avalanche, As If The Trail Wasn't There.....was The Trail Passable Around That Point??

Nope, its unfortunate that the pics do not do it justice. It was on of the longest and largest slides i have seen. It looked like a loooong snake winding down the valley. There was even a very large river created from its melting

Unfortunately I was unable to continue on the trail, but I wll be back

Curtis, what did Varda get for a quad?

Depsnolvr · 06-23-2008, 10:51 AM

We purchased one of the rental units from Alpine. Its an 06 Canam 400. Good little unit and I wanted to buy a machine that the shop has had experience with.
