i took my son to calahan valley last feb. the area is called chocolate bowl or brandy whine. its approximately 30 minutes past squamish on the left. you will see the small sign on the right "calahan valley" . once you take the left off the highway you start to go up hill its your next left...not far off the highway, follow that road past a recycle dump i think it will take you to a massive staging area. i went monday tues wed first week of feb...they werent collecting trail fees. there is a club at the start of the trail. you can ride past it and to the right.....we couldnt get into chocolate bowl because an avalanche came down accross the trail so we chickened out. hope that helps...oh and stay out of the cat ski area...wink wink !! the get pissy about that but the snow was untouched so ive been told.

One of your best choices is "Brandywine", it's approx. 40min. from Squamish before Whistler. Its very easy to find as your heading towards Whistler it is on the left side with "Brandywine snowmobile riding area" sign on highway. Just turn off and fallow road to parking area to unload. Pay the dude then fallow trail system to avalanche alley, then take any trail from there to get on the icefields. Self explanatory if your an experienced sledder.
Take lots of extra fuel, its idea to drop some at gas drop and carry some on sled. It is a HUGE area with enormous climbs and you will suck your fuel very quickly.
It is also advisable to carry 2 spare drive belts. There is NOTHING along the Alberta/BC border that compares, not Revy, Eagles, Valmount to the icefields.
DONOT go if its socked in, there are no recognizable landmarks persay or tree's on the icefields, overnight snowfalls can exceed 4-5ft.
The Pemberton icefields which is the area your looking into going is the grand daddy of mountian sledding and where Turboes dominate, if you riding a non turbo sled and it dumps even 2ft you will be very limited to where you will be able to go.
