I’ve ridden to the cabin in Elkford from Cataract side about 10 years ago.
Back then the trail was tough with the trees starting to over take the trail not sure if the trail would even be passable now.
I did it riding a Polaris 500 rmk and I remember some of the hills seemed to be huge, probably not so much now with the bigger sleds we ride now.
Just a word of caution the first side hill that you come across after you turn left at the tee can be tricky as this as being know to avalanche.
I've been up over Fording Pass to the BC side before, has anyone rode from there down the valley to Elkford, then gassed up and come back? Seems like it would be a good adventure, might need to carry a bit of fuel.
The problem lies in the bowels of the logging companies. It the road is plowed into Elkford, no way as it is illegal to ride plowed logging roads in BC and the govt is looking for cash.
There is no doubt that part of the "east side" and all of the "west side" will be plowed this winter. I'm referring to the west and east side of the Elk River.
I'm trying to get some buddies on this side to go up and maybe open the trail a little more this winter.

Calgarysledguy your way is the right way. The other way I've been down that way as well and it wasn't passable maybe with enough snow it might be.
really?? i thought it would be cedric's way, looks to be a lot shorter!
Cedrics way looks shorter for sure. But looks like it goes threw cut blocks and then into the mine.Or right beside it.It might be slower going that way.The other way looks like you hit a road or major trail......long and straight.
I have no idea. What ever way it is. I think it would be a long a@S ride there and back......
