Can some one post pics of the parking lot kinda sceptical about comeing up now **** sleds are loaded reddy to go

The pic a couple post ago is the parking lot at our lodge 21 Kms south of town, I expect Allen to look the same , we still only have flurries at the moment. Hope this helps.

TPOWER What's this "Sledders Den"you speak of? Thegeneral[/QUOTE said:
Hello General ,
Hope u had a great summer and ready for the snow. The Sledders Den is another place for lodge customers to shoot the ****, watch videos , poke fun at there buddies as he puts his sled back togather cause he hit the only tree in a 100 yard opening lol . The sledders den is complimentary to lodge customers to hang out with a donation jug if your wrenching on your sled. The sledders Den will also be available to all sledders in valemount if they need a warm , dry place to wrench on there sleds for a low rental fee , which I will post on here to see what everyone thinks is fair. We basically took the old woodshed gutted it to post and beam added two 12 x24 lean toos to house fire wood and my work shop . Still working on it but it's coming along . Here a cpl pics
Old wood shed (eye sore)

Strip it down

Replace sills and start reframing walls

Then blow the budget all to hell

The wife's gonna kill me once she sees all the receipts . Maybe I'll just burn them .
I know Tia is valemount updates for sledding conditions but if you sled this weekend you just might need the sledders den .
Let it snow let it snow .

Thanks Terry, Summit River Lodge is an excellent example of a resort for sledders run by sledders. The new addition is just one more reason to stay at the lodge ( if there wasn't enough already ). The fact that you plan to make it available to non guests shows your dedication to the sport! I just hope I don't need to use it this year lol

That's an awesome idea I know there have been a lot of time people are looking for a place to wrench or even thaw a sled out.

There is still heavy steady flurries but nothing is sticking on ground, it looks like it's definitely snowing up top but I don't think any amount of accumulation . It hasn't even filled in the bare patches

I took a trip to blue river today(not for sledding) and checked out every parking lot on the way. Allen has the best but just a skiff of snow. Not much. Was planning on going this weekend but I don't think it's super safe yet. Although it's been snowing all day

Anybody know what a solar powered web cam system would cost. Would be awesome to have at Allan cabin. Maybe we could "fund" one ourselves with donations or liquor basket draw lol.
