New snow is forecasted to fall and we can use it. The common areas have been well used, but the goods are still out there for those who venture a short distance off the beaten path. This isnt a broken record, its just the way it is. We have had a great couple days in Allan with the Avalanche Canada crew.
We are still down a groomer, but we are moving the machines between areas as needed and the trails have been buttery lately with the perfect grooming weather.
Keep snow dancing.

We were some of the last off the hill at Allen today. Was blowing snow for most of the day.
Puking big wet fluffs on the trail down
The area was well used but found lots in the trees and where the wind blows the snow.

Did you hire a guide? That's the best way to "find" snow when the going gets tough, especially in a new area.

There was never a full reload forcasted. Supposed to snow 2-4" in the valley tomorrow, so that could mean 5-8'' at 6000' feet or w/e. I'm headed up mid week too. My expectations aren't real high but I neeeed to get out. I've got the Saskatchewan winter blues. Looking forward to retirement in 30 years or so.

We rode Friday at Clemina. The trial was awesome and nice and wide. Hit morning glory and into the start of lakeview. Not much new snow in a bit but as the day went on the snow was coming. That day we found several areas with 1 to 1-1/2 feet, this was in the trees
Saturday I didn’t ride as I was setting up the hall for mountain mania. Which I believe was a great event. Thanks to everyone that attended
Sunday we rode Clemina again, blue sky’s with great temperatures make for a great day. We hit the back of lakeview (the wall) and had 1 1/2 to 2’ in there then to Bauer’s with 1 to 1 1/2’. Main areas had several tracks, just need to look a bit and didn’t have to look hard either to find the snow.
Hats off to the groomer this is the best I’ve seen this trail. Very wide as well.

Thanks for busting you ass Ron to make it such a great evening! Sure appreciate it and I’m pretty impressed that everyone bid the auction items up and I think that it will be a sizeable donation to VARDA. Well done Mr Snow and Mud!

The week ahead is quite the mix bag when looking at the forecast. First it was a blend of snow and sun and now, dry blue bird weather seems to be on the way for a few days beginning around Thursday. We have not received any fresh snow worth talking about for some time.
The common areas have been well used, and I’m sure the term “tracked out” may get thrown around, but the goods are still out there for those who venture off the beaten path and if that’s not your thing, who doesn’t love being up in the mountains on blue bird days? Use the beautiful weather ahead to try something different, cover some new country, turn left where you usually turn right, and you never know what is waiting for you around the corner.
We are still down a groomer, but we are moving the machines between areas as needed and the trails have been buttery lately with the perfect grooming weather.
Ride safe

Eating some crow after yesterdays update......but ill gladly be wrong if this is the cause...
The week ahead is quite the mix bag when looking at the forecast, but we will take a bit of both the sun and the snow! 15-30cms of snow has fallen during the last little storm cycle and this gave the areas a little bit of a reload. The groomers are back in full force and the trails have been buttery lately with the perfect grooming weather.
