Oler, what was the snow like? Will I be alright pulling in a 5 place next week?

Fellas, thanks for the support. I created a new thread under the Golden area riding so let's direct our attention there from now on. Sounds like the email doesn't work properly from a smart phone. Also, from what I know Forster has always been closed till Nov 30 annually, but like Catamount...

Gents, The Windermere Valley Snowmobile Club has put in a ton of effort to have Catamount Glacier opened up to sleds for the upcoming season, from February 15th on. That also includes use of the Olive Hut. At this time there is an amendment out to grant us access to the area, however, even...

Anyone here what happened to the young guy that was airlifted out of Chatter last Sunday? Was it a slide?

Agreed, the book is awesome!

I wasn't at Rocky at the weekend but drove past staging and past the turnoff and kept heading into the Bugaboo Heli Lodge. Past the staging at about 23 there was a decent slide that had come across the road, either than that nothing had come across the road yet. At km 21 staging there was...

They were trying to punch up above the Dave White Cabin but from the headwall side (towards Francis). There was a whole group of them (skiers) and not sure if there were able to get a trail up there. Northstar glacier would be above the main cabin, or sled shed as pano calls it wouldn't it?

I'd agree on 2 to 2.5 feet on Thursday, maybe it got blown around on Thursday eve and packed down a bit but during the day it was over the hood the majority of the time... poor visibility up top though.

There was a pile of sleds trying to get up behind the cabin on Friday, don't know if they ever punched through however there is plenty of places to ride, in my opinion, skiers can have that area.

It is the Windermere Valley Snowmobile Club and no they don't have a website (that I know of).

Conditions were great and staging was at the toll box a few km's up the hill from the Watershed.

The only relatively safe place I know in the area with a ton of pow is the meadows at Forster but they're always the first place tracked out...

Thanks for the update fellas. Have a cabin just off the cartwright road and was going to take the lady friend on a quick ride to the Bubaboo Heli Lodge on Saturday. Was worried we wouldn't get through as I've been there in July when the roads are still impassable. Guess I won't be taking her...

Was up there last weekend and the road from Radium to the 16.4km on the Westside Rd was fine, bumpy but easily driveable (if anything needed a bit of fresh on it). From the 16.4km to the staging at 21km on the Westside Rd was fine. Haven't been in the watershed way for a long while though. I...
