Yup, 2' or so... no base. Theres enough that the groomer operator had to drop the drag down south towards Tom Hill Tower road and pack track with the Snowcat.

Nope, snowmobiles only.

hows the snow now? We had lots of snow about a week ago but its now all melting and everywhere is an ice rink!

 

[Summiteer]

Raining right now, going to clear some trees on the triangle tomorrow, we'll see how things are then...Pretty icy I'd wager

All of the trails are in excellent shape. Should be a great rally with Saturdays loop being on our new Goodwin Lake trail. Very hilly and twisty trail - tons of fun. The snow off trail is a little bit crusty from all of the recent warm weather but still some of it untouched and definitely rideable. The weather looks like it is going to co-operate too.

McLeod and Athabasca are fine. The groomer has been accross quite a few times on the Mcleod and has a great trail packed. I am sure we will be ribboning it off so everyone stays on the trail. Was a little sloppy on the edges of the river with overflow on Friday but will be cooler this week so will be all good for the weekend.

I saw the groomer going down the McLeod River this morning at 6:30, crossing the Athabasca River, and headed out to groom the Athabasca Loop trail for the Sunday route of the rally this weekend. The trail was looking nice and smooth and should set up very well with the cooler day today. :d

The pending cold weather is not stopping people from coming out. Registration is pretty steady.

Had about 400 brave souls out on the trails for the rally Saturday, flippin' cold!!! Looking to be quite a bit warmer Sunday. Hope to see you out. Still a 2011 Polaris 800 pro 154 to be won.
