Cow Lake, Rocky Mountain House

[steveo10]

with the snowpack being unstable and having a few rookies we played safe and put on a couple hundred KM.

stayed at the Grandview cabins 15min southwest of Rocky.... great place! rode straight from the cabin and never needed to go to town. (fuel and restaurant on location)

owners were great and catered to all our needs. goes a long way and wont be forgotten.

we rode to Cow Lake then found some nice cutlines leading to surprising lots of untouch pow.

will be back for sure! wouldnt mind heading further west to the hills but the no loading/unloading idea is catchy.

maybe will post some pics tomorrow

Awesome, looks like more snow than caroline had on V-day poker run!

You can ride from Grandeview, past our shop and into the westcountry,,,,, we had 4" of snow dump on us last night/today. Was in the gap today and it let off around noon..... looked like it was still snowing west of the Gap.

Safari Guy, I've always wondered who was running that place southwest of Cow lake. Hows business? Silly weather I was hoping it would keep snowing. Wanted to take a trip into Ranger this weekend, but I don't know its supposed to be like 10 degrees. Rock central. We need the March snows to hit.

Has been busy,, between work, rentals and guiding I have had 1 day off since boxing day. That was friday,, and had a outfittied tour sat, turned down another 2 and had some rentals out for sled rallies Sun-mon. I think it would be good out at ranger provided the crossing on the hummingbird is ok. Havent been out there for 2 weeks. I see the Ram river has broke on the mainline rd.

Looks like we werent too far from your shop then, Safari. We took a cutline off of the west side of the lake.

Ram broke already? Yikes, thats early. Was gonna go for a rip down the powerline and cross the ram, Have to bring nitrous I guess! Was worried how snow is in Ranger with the warmth. Need a big dump would be nice.

Yes hoping for before the end of the month so I can hit the mnts again,,,,,,,,,,, 25km on a hard trail is too rough after a day of playing in the alpine.
