No major new snow to speak of, but its trying. I was half way up the chappell trail today and there is approx 3" on the trail at evlevation. I would still expect spring like conditions in the popular areas.
Allan and Clemina were groomed up last night and will be again friday night, numbers permitting
Please note Due to extremely low user numbers the Chappell Creek Trail will not be groomed this week. The trail was inspected by VARDA staff on Thursday afternoon and was in excellent shape. There is minor washboard on the first switchbacks and tight corners, but overall the trail is in great condition.
Please work with us as we continue to try to maintain access to this area in a cost effective manor
Please contact the numbers or email below with any questions or concerns.
Thank you

Finally something worth reporting !
The heavy rain last night produced approx 24" of beautiful fresh snow up in the Chappell Creek Area. Only 22 people in the entire area today................
Geez wonder where to head tomorrow.
Again with low user numbers on this trail, please bare with us as we try to maintain it as cost effectively as possible.
Sorry, no reports yet from the other areas, but Im sure all the alpine is in much better shape.
That being said, please vist the CAC site to read and understand the current avalanche ratings.

Not sure what they are like in Mcbride, but they are fine here. A bit bumpy in spots with the melting, but all can be accessed very easily

Feb. 27th and 28th spent on Allen Creek. Parking area's getting real slushy and lots of water. Trail up and down was rough on Saturday. Snow up top is in good condition with a good amount of fresh to pound if your looking for it. Not sure of the exact number of riders on the weekend, but I would guess it to be under 30.
Gonna head back in a couple weeks.

i was on the same trail as you on saturday you clearly have never been on a rough trail.
keep in mind when its +10 at low elevation the groom dissapears pretty quick

Hey Maxwell, heading up to Valemount/Blue River this Friday I am assuming you meant 2' not 2". Did you go into Clemina at all? On the Feb. long weekend it seemed to have better snow conditions than Allen and Chappell, but everywhere was pretty pounded out due to the number of sleds. How is the trail going into Westridge, haven't been in there all year, might be a nice change from the norm. Thanks in advance.

wow yah 2' LOL
trail into westridge is not a problem if you are an intermediate rider.
wasnt in clemina but was in allan saturday and had a good day. pounded out on the beaten path but do a little exploring youll find some good snow. just stay off the sun beaten slopes they have a wicked crust with no snow but the slopes in the shade have some great snow on them.
