Riding conditions have been amazing over the last week. Spring riding is certainly a roll of the dice as you never know what to expect although so far the alpine has been getting regular reloads of nice, cold snow. For now, the access trails are in good shape with full snow cover from the staging areas and we are looking forward to a normal length grooming season this year if the winter weather keeps up. We are getting rain down low and this is messing with the quality and longevity of the lower trails. We will run that machines as long as we can make a difference in quality and for now we certainly are.


Spring is a very difficult time of year to predict snow levels. Although we have been receiving reloads almost nightly. This time of year, you really never know when its going to hammer down and very often we get surprised with some amazing snowfalls up in the mountains that were not in the forecast, so our advice is to take the gamble and get out for a ride!

Excellent riding out there yesterday. Here are a few pics from Chappell and Allen Creek

VARDA is hosting the British Columbia Snowmobile Federations Annual Spring Meeting this weekend. If you are out and about and recognize a volunteer, please say thank you!

Ride safe!

Rode Clemina yesterday, most of the day in morning glory was a great ride. 1-2' in there. Trail was great. parking lot was down to gravel with some mud
Then headed to Bauers. Large avy at hillclimb hill approximately 400m across cleared the entire mountain down to the ground. The east side went with a 30m runout the north side had a 40 m runout. Trees and debris scattered the area.
