12 Months of Sledding snow?

Jorg Jorgenson · May 19, 2020

Anyone else ever had the dream to be able to say that you've ridden your sled for all 12 months out of the year in the mountains? I'm talking about riding on snow, even if it was a short little brap, regardless of how much dirt/snirt you had to encounter to get there.

Best I've done is October (22nd) through to May (14th). Would hope to get out for a June ride this year. I've heard of guys doing Canada Day rides as well as late September rides with freak snow storms. But August????

Pictures appreciated. Keep the dream alive!

October 21 to June 24th for me, This year you might be able too in august there is still a PILE of snow up there. But generally around where i ride ( Valemount,Blue,Mcbride the riding areas are 100% free of snow by Mid july with the exception of some shaded areas. Only way to do it would be if you could access a glacier by road

Late September in Golden to Early July near Revy is the best I’ve done.

Boulder in June is the latest I’ve road.

Here is Chile July 29, 2019. Rained the three days I rode, but turned to snow the morning I left. The group after ours had phenomenal snow!

Was just going to mention you had probably rode in August Aaron

I guess if they did the Chile rides in August you could maybe complete the whole 12 months!

August is the only month I’m missing. I would love to hit every month in one year.

Have done June a few times. The snow has big pockets and lots of that pink mold. Tried a Canada day once and couldn’t make it to the snow with the truck. Need a SXS with a trailer

Back in the early 2000’s. Quartz.

I’ve done July 1st in Whistler. A fellow snowandmudder expressed interest in attempting it this year. U never know! A SandM Canada day convention!

There was a magazine article on this years ago. Some americans did it. They came to Revy and had a chopper bring them up to a glacier on July 31 and they spent the night. So got two hardest months that way.

guaranteed that's way cheaper then going down to Chile and paying to ride with that ginger clown brandt

We had inquired a few years back about doing the Chile thing, and I wanna say it was like $6-7000Cdn. The chopper idea sounds cool and I bet you’d be half of that for both of you combined. I should try to find that article online... I’m sure it exists somewhere

Did you make it up the 90?? Ha! Those are awesome photos, couldn't see them earlier on my phone. Thanks for sharing.

I've done Harvey (out of Fernie) on the longest day of the year with SnowJunkie82 and ThrottleOps Photography. That got my June ride in. July hasn't happened yet, nor has August. Early September, I think it was the 8th, quite a few years back in Elkford. A quick Brappppp up the logging road after a freak storm that had dumped 12" up top and and maybe 6" in the yard.

I've ridden October to July. Never in Sept or Aug.
Canada Day a few years ago, aiming for one again this year.
