The location of the slide....
At the north end of the avalanch valley righ where you turn left and go up the steep pitch. that bowl is now clean right to the rocks... sorry no pics but it looked big. Yes it was caused by a sled!
I rode climina on sunday i drove to the 5km rode snow all the way up trail is great and the snow..... it was 2 feet of untracked fresh over the whole mountain!
Went up allen on monday and went all the way back. Found a giant slide right at the end of avy valley.

Well i am the biggest doo doo guy around but... My rt has spent more time in the shop than on the hill last trip i needed to get towed 2 of 3 days. martins had it for 3 weeks and could not fix the problem. i have neve had more problems on any sled i have ever owned
dont get me wrong this thing...
You all have good points... I have been riding in valemount for a long time. I remember new years 2000 no grooming at all. I dont care so much on the way down, but there is no way they should charge when the trail is wrecked...
maybe I should set up a booth beside the varda booth and offer...
So VARDA is the group in charge of grooming in Valemount... Are the getting the job done?
Well lets look at the last weekend. I rode Climina on fri. The trail in was great, the trail out, rough as crap... Why cant they groom it again around noon? On friday there was over 300 riders up there...
Valemount conditions dec 30
climina lots of snow great trail on the way up crap on the way down
mega riders here...
Chappel creek mega powder all over........ trail..... "Like a bomb hit every 3 feet" still charging 15 bucks and not grooming at all.... I love "VARDA"
Keyhole mega snow best...
hey thats my story also i flipped my 162 over backwards on a spin drift in morning glory then found myself in a sled&snowhak snowball...
no damage there but i did get my side cover smashed on the trailer loading up.
lots of packed snow in the alpine @ clemina and allen creek
most stumps and rocks covered but not alot of deep powder
sun crust on most south and west facing slopes
trails 8 out of 10 very good grooming
roads from jasper on to clemina ice covered and poor condition
