 | Re: Recently moved from Manitoba to Alberta, pumped to try mountain riding! Thanks for the Welcomes, I'll be picking up some av gear at the snowmobile show Nov 14-15 and getting some training in early November (depending on work)... very excited to get out there. When does the riding season start in the mountains? Back in MB I usually had to wait till late December before there was enough snow. I assume it's earlier out here? Can you guys recommend a good place for my first ride in the mountains? (nothing too extreme) Cheers, -Owen |

 | Re: Recently moved from Manitoba to Alberta, pumped to try mountain riding! The first Calgary Club ride is usually Quartz (Golden) in Dec. and usually well attended. It's a good opportunity to meet other riders, see what kind of riding they are into, and see an area. You do not have to be a club member to join a ride. I'd suggest Quartz for a first Mtn ride but not till early-mid december. Earlier than that I'd suggest Revy! The first club meeting is Oct. 13. The Snow and Mud nights are another opportunity to meet folks and their is one coming up Oct.21. Unfortunately I don't think I'll make either one as I'm traveling both nights. Lots of great sledding folk in cgy! l8r Shawn.

| Re: Recently moved from Manitoba to Alberta, pumped to try mountain riding! Like said above....WELCOME. There are great tips & lots of advice on here from many experienced people. great thing about this site is they will take you out sledding without really knowing much about each other. Really great group on here & you will definitely have fun.  There are lots of places that have good trails to start with then open areas & hills to tackle if you're up for it. Quartz Creek at Golden is one of those easy access spots that you have a little bit of everything for you. But that being said, early season riding can be pretty difficult in the hills if you've never been before. Definitley ride with a few others due to being stuck alot  Where abouts in MB you from? RN

| Re: Recently moved from Manitoba to Alberta, pumped to try mountain riding! Welcome to Snow and Mud. Respect what "RN" said above. It will be tons of fun but go with some experienced riders for the first few trips it will pay off in confidence and give you the chance to test yourself in a safe environment. Cheers,

| Re: Recently moved from Manitoba to Alberta, pumped to try mountain riding! be really careful riding this early as there wont be much of a base to the snow if any at all. Your very likely to take out skiis, trailing arms or bogey wheels from rocks haha i've done it a few times!  |
