Unfortunately, due to lack of snow we have not been able to groom in many weeks, we did get 1 complete groom on the trail system done prior to the melt down. The Snowmobile Poker Rally had to be cancelled for this coming Saturday due to trail conditions and lack of snow coverage. However, they are still running the Snowmobile Drag Races on Sunday and all other Sno Mo Days events are going ahead. If you choose to go on the trails, please exercise extreme caution, as it is very icy out there.

I heard that at Sno Mo Days they are having a quad poker rally. Will this be on the snowmobile trails? If so do you guys normally allow quads on your trails? Thanks.

Some of our trails are snowmobile only and others are mixed use..... We do ask that the quads keep off the groomed trails but there are also year round quad trails around the Alberta Beach area. Our trails are in pretty rough shape right now.

Does anyone have any updates with regards to snow or trail condition in the Alberta beach system? Thinking of taking a trip up in a few weeks.

Snow still low, lakes are okay other than some good ice heaves that are very carefully marked along where the trail runs...... We need more snow so we can get out and set the trail properly and get the season going.

Was out riding on the weekend. Lots of snow. Does anyone know why the gate is locked at the last field before you drop down to the Pembina River on the east side to go to the Rangerton Campground?

It's usually dummy locked. Or has been for the last 20 yrs. I haven't been there in a few months. I'm helping with grooming the trails tomorrow and can find out more

Can you send me an email about this please? We are having a few issues with some gates this year, I'd like to send it over to our trail master.

Your welcome. Unreal how much work goes into the trails. 12 hrs bouncing around in the groomer. Had a good day today with Marvin. Most of the trails are groomed. Tomorrow's groom will go to rangeton.

Sent the email to Tyler. I did not check the lock to see if it was just dummy locked.
