So I went out and bought a new summit last year and my buddy that's into the sport is working so much now he doesn't have time to go. I would love to go out to the mountains but don't know of anybody else to go with. Whats your best advice to meet people and learn the Golden area??

Just post on here! We started going last year and never had a hard time finding anyone to tag along with. Many of us are like you, we have friends who like sledding but who's schedules don't always work with ours.

Just try to find someone who's kinda new in the mountains as well so your skill sets are similar.

I live in a house with 5 people and 4 sleds, double heated garage/workshop. well 5 sleds as I now have 2. we do alota sled/snowboarding, (well they do alota snowboarding)
I don't ride the main areas, but ride most days, so if you need a workshop, then bring beer, if you want to go on crazy adventures, then follow me ...

just ask ...

don't bring that douchebag friend is all we ask ...

154 you should put a more precise location in your profile. Big difference finding a group to ride with if you are in Prince Albert vs Swift Current.

I live just south of you in Eatonia. There are a few of us that hit up Golden 2 or 3 times a year. If you are interested just let me know!

You can find lots of people to ride with here. I found when I was new to the sport a couple years ago, signing up for a clinic with Chris Brown was so worth it. He is hosting one in Golden in Feb. It's a good way to meet other guys, learn some Avy skills, learn lots of riding skills (espeically if you are new), and you will have a guide for a couple days, so you can learn some areas (if you are good with remember where you went).

I ride Golden mostly (Fernie/Revy not so much so less familiar with the areas) and am always looking for new people to ride with. Just hit me up if your on the way thru. I try to get out as many weekends as possible.
