Just moved to Calgary from the Edmonton area.
i have never done any riding down there.

just curious to know what's in and around Calgary / Crochane?
a buddy brought me shooting and we passed through Crochane to get ther. Some whypress turn off or something and went into the bush. Lots of trails out there.

Wondering if if anyone rides their sled out that way during the week days in the winter?

You could ride Waiporous if there was ever enough snow, but there isn't. Look at the cataract thread. That is about the only place close by that has a reasonable chance of enough snow to ride. You can ride powder face road out of the Dawson trail parking lot which is out by Sibbald flats, there is a restriction on when, but you can find that on the kanaskis park web site, but again, it seldom has enough snow. Theoretically you can ride at McClean creek out past Bragg Creek, but in a typical year there isn't enough snow, and the trails are usually to rutted by quads anyways. Otherwise, head down to crowsnest pass and Atlas which is 2-3 hours away depending on where in Calgary You are coming from. It usually has pretty good snow. It is mountain riding thoug, so take appropriate gear.
