Thanks hopefully we get some more snow and no more rain. It was a bit cold last year -27 when we unloaded but turn out to be a decent day.

Rain sucks

Does anyone know what kind of conditions there are right now? Supposed to go riding with a group this weekend wonder if it's worth even pulling the sled out there

It was barely worth It two weeks ago. Pretty sure things have gone downhill since then.

i have a cabin in the west area and was out last weekend. Quads and side x sides can still go almost anywhere. All trails are rutted out. So far not enough snow to fill them in. If you want to run on partly filled quad trails, you're good. About 18" at the deepest. Enough for a rough trail ride.

Just not my kind of sledding.

Well, for a lack of anything better to do we went out Caroline way today. -18 when I left Red Deer, +10 in the staging area west of Caroline...

We crossed the river and found some snow, not much.

More snow to the north

Could anyone please describe in more detail where this staging area near Caroline is? Thanks.

To add to that: on the left side of the road

W on 54 towards the Forestry Trunk Rd. past Rig Street, Boundary Rd. and then past the Swan Lake Rd. Gravel starts at the Swan Lake Rd. Onto the gravel and go a few miles and it will be on your left. Big sign last time I was out there and just follow the little road in if it looks passable.

Thanks for the information.

I was out at 7 mile flats yesterday, from the north. Trunk road NOT plowed past cutoff creek turnoff. Just about stuck trying to turn around. Very little new snow compared to what we got at home and whats left wouldnt make for epic riding. Too bad, I was going to take my wife for a ride on the trapline.

you bring your wife on your trap line? could get interesting! haha, likely more snow around the boundary area, more trees etc. snow seems to just blow out of the mtn area's

Thanks for the update on the conditions around there, we were thinking of going out there to check it today; guess we will just ride around the lake again today.

Plus 10 deg in nordegg right now sure it is the same around Caroline riding areas as well

 

[CatMan16]

Snow might be rideable around Caroline I was in Spruce View today and there was 3-4 inches of fresh there. Further west may have gotten more.

Any new information on the trails or snow for this season? I was up near RMH this week and it was not looking to bad. What about around Caroline?

Pretty thin yet. Unless you are absolutely familiar with where you are going I would tap er pretty cool... Merry Christmas
