Re: offical updates and conditons for blue river

We have some guys going to go in hopefully this weekend to the Holy Grail and Paridise to see if it is doable and to open the proper trail because it looks nothing like it did last year. Will let you know the conditions on it after.

Re: offical updates and conditons for blue river

This is from the BLUE RIVER POWDER PACKERS SNOWMOBILE CLUB

Attention Sledders
Blue River​

There is a new parking lot 1 km north left onto Blue Berry (dump) road a sign is posted on the airport sign with an arrow indicating the upcoming turn then follow the signs. Please Angle Park starting at the east left corner and use only as much room as you need that way we can accommodate everyone. This is the central parking lot for White River, Par berry, Cook Creek, Holy Grail, Paradise, South Blue (Horse Shoe). At The back of the parking lot there are road signs directing you to the areas. Do not park on Red Sands (big bear) road around the heliport and airport. Do not ride near or alongside the airport or CN rails tracks.

Riding sleds in town Is against the law and the RCMP have had many complaints and must now enforce this Also this has been used against sledders in our land use negotiations and access to the back country. We need to show everyone that we are responsible law abiding citizens and a strong economic force not a bunch of yahoos as some would like to describe us or we will lose all our areas.

For the Coulies please park at the sub station. Do not block the gate to station!

Please fill out a wild life sighting sheet when you get back from riding and drop it off at Holy Smoke Inn or Glacier Mountain Lodge. Available at the parking lot booths.

Please Park in the designated Snowmobile parking areas only

IT is essential to the future of our riding areas that all wildlife closures be respected.

“Pack Out What you Pack In”​

Blue River Thanks you For Sledding Here​

Re: offical updates and conditons for blue river

Does this mean we can't take off from your parking lot any more????

 

[dooryder]

Re: offical updates and conditons for blue river

IMO i think you can take off from the glaciers lot to go up coulies, but anywhere else you should trailor

Re: offical updates and conditons for blue river

Our first ever avalanche seminar in Blue river was a huge success thank you to all who participated and a big thanks to the course instructor Ian Eakins of Wells Grey Adventure Tours 250-587-6446 who donated back his fee to the Blue River Powder Packers. Ian's one day seminar was fun and very informative with a direct focus on sledding. We will be putting on another seminar in the new year.

Re: offical updates and conditons for blue river

Groomed Ground Hog and the Coulies yesterday,Will groom again on the 26th and as needed after that these are the only trails we can groom right now until we see more snow. Forecast for some big snow mid week keeping our fingers crossed. Please remember to stop by the booths and donate your $15.00 to keep our grooming going without everyones support we could never afford to keep going. A big thanks to the 75 riders who all generously donated at Ground Hog last weekend.
