I'm headed out with the gf to her folks place in Comox over Christmas break this year and looking to bring the sled out and do some riding around Mount Washington/Comox area on the island.

Can anyone give me some directions or let me tag along with them? Probably Dec 23, 24 and 26. (Decent rider on an XM with all the avy gear/training etc.)

Cheers,

We almost moved to Cambell river and one of our concerns was sledding, after taking a ride up to Mt.Washington in late March no concern... but I chose a different job.

Just drive up towards Mount Washington Alpine resort and you will see the snowmobile club signage and staging areas...

I'll be in Port Alberni around that same time too with my sled. The riding I've done around Mount Washington wasn't very good but it does get a decent base for that time of year.
