Keyhole is just before Clemina, on the same side of the road. Very limited parking.

We're riding Thursday morning, not sure where yet though.

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Hey Steveo, whats the riding in Keyhole like, I've seen trucks parked there before and your right about limited parking....anyway, it the are simular to Clemina or more challenging?

Turn right just before the iron bridge past Allen go 2.5 km or so along the river it's just a pull out enough for a couple of units follow the trail up and you will have to find the way through the trees at the top if there isn't any tracks that's fun in it's self. The bridge is half way between Allen and Chappel.

It's quite similar to Clemina and much smaller. It's got three smallish bowl areas and it can be tough to get past the first bowl if the weather's bad. It's a great area though with a good mix of boondocking and hillclimbing. The hills aren't huge though and 4 sleds can beat the whole area up in one day.

We were there on Thursday and the snow was excellent, but the visibility was lousy. We had awesome riding in Clemina Friday and Saturday. We spent Fri. breaking trail into a secret spot and rode it and the meadows on Saturday.

O-roc and I breaking trail on Friday:

Back to the Oasis topic:

We rode it Sunday and it was excellent. The trail was pretty good too. Had to break the trail in past the last cutblock but it was fairly easy. Didn't go past the first bowl except to look at the line into the next one. Here's my Cat on the ridge between the first and second bowls.

If the weather is starting to turn on you dont get stranded in the second bowl it can be a b@#ch comming out in bad visibility
