Depends on the reasons, love the terrain in Vale, don't like the raping you get going there or the issues that go with the town, Hasler is my worst, always zero visibility, poor trail in, radio controlled access road nobody seems to call on, kakwa is fun because it's close to home and most days if you know the area you can always find fresh snow and they allow temporary camps for a fee that goes toward grooming the trail into the riding area, this year I'd be happy with anywhere that has snow

the worst was a white out in blue lake, no idea where we were and could not see the bumper of sled in front. bent the brake handle on the sled , fawk never want to do that again.


favorites were riding in utah , riding in fernie- pipeline, rolling hills. riding in golden- silent pass, silvermines, hope creek,gorman(my favorite). riding west of rocky- hummingbird onion lake( had a great time with bogger) boundary trails.

my next time out sleddin ( what i look forward to)

Best places - Silent Pass, Crowfoot, Adam's Plateau, Rolling Hills
In the Middle - Quartz, Gorman and Atlas
Worst place - York Creek, only because it wasn't what we expected and should have researched it better.

TBD
Heading to Blue Lake this weekend.
Need to ride Elkford again.
Someday I'll make the trip to Valemount

Kakwa -hate the trail ride and ch!t ton of rocks. too many people...especially the drunken RETARDS. one or 2 pops on the mtn over the course of the day..cool. 20?? LOSERS

Silver Sands...worst trail ride i have ever been on...12kms to boot

Beatton River (FSJ)- thought we would do a run down the river first year i lived here. all the hills...MUST have snow...right??? RIGHT??? FAWK NO. nearly died that day more than once. hit a log just under the snow and went off a drop and landed on a rock buried maybe 2" below the surface. my neck remembers this clearly..lol

Paint Lake looks fantastic to me.Mcbride is also a winner.
Your paint lake looks pretty awsome, My Manitoba experience consists more of that dinner plate flat stuff and a couple of unplesent experience's at the Emerson crossing that I prefer to keep blocked out of my memory.

Golden Triangle (|Wct, Swan Hills, Fox Creek, Edson) is great with good snow conditions...lots of cutlines and power lines. I agree with posters above about Strathcona County....I would not even think of not trailering around there and so many nice ditches to ride if the snow is good....but way to much hassle from the Federales!

Best place for me is Kakwa, (this year I want to come into the area from the B.C. side just to see what it's like.)
Worst place, I can't honestly think of a place that I sledded where I would never go back... everywhere is fun with a foot of fresh snow!
