Thanks for the updated map; I was surprised to see the Baril trail on it. Mayba parks is ok with calling this a trail now?

Nope. Snowmobiles and horses only.

Thanks for taking a trip out.Still hoping(dreaming) there is enough for a run on the weekend of the 29-30.I hate using my yearly sleding budget to travel into BC this early in the year.Would much rather use the money later in the year when the snow is really good out there.Please keep us posted.

 

[Summit X]

my sled is loaded, anybody else wanna go for a rip out and see what it's like this afternoon??? do a quick run around the trails?

 

[ronmexico]

Im in. Swing by Edmonton and pick me up. :d

 

[Summit X]

hmmm, well thanks for the interest, but no thanks. i'm on the south side of cowtown already, so you're just a bit out of the way... maybe another day!

 

[mattmedic]

next weekend im in if you need company, let me know!!!

 

[neddacsac]

Sorry boys and girls but its not quite ready yet. Only a few inches of cover all the way back to the shale crossing. The washout on the last climb before the border has some new 4 foot boulders in it! Its gonna need awhile longer. We just spent the the day clearing the trail....and I found the hardest rock on the trail.

Thanks boys. Looks like tough riding.
How long (time avg) is cattaract stageing area from south of deerfoot where it crosses the bow the last time heading south on the new part? (not sure how else to explain where im talking about, but im sure you guys know)

Also, what is the best way to get there from that point? (deerfoot)

Thanks Boys

i went out and saw 'neddacsac' while i was there. i most certainly agree, more snow needed.

and i think is why it felt like i was drunk when i was driving out....

Your gonna want to exit right(south) on to 2A towards Okotoks.Follow 2A all the way through Okotoks then turn right(west) on Hwy7 towards Black Dimond.When you hit the 4 way stop in the middle of Black Dimond turn left(south) on Hwy22 towards Longview. Just as you come to the bottom of the hill into Longview turn right(west) on to Hwy541. Drive past Eden Valley Reserve to the Highwood House gas station.Turn left(south) on Hwy40(Trunk Road).Drive about 5km on Hwy40 until you see the sign for Etherington campgound.Turn right on the access road and just follow it in to the parking lot and Vola!Probably takes about an hour from Calgary.Hears a map also incase i forgot anything.
