Just wondering if anyone here has rode the island up by comox, the wife's parents moved there and I really have no desire to go there in the winter, but if there is some sledding to do I would be game. I mean I really want to see the inlaws LOL . Any info would help thanx.

I lived out there for a year and if it does snow its usually gone in a day or two and very wet and heavy.

If they are by Mt. Washington (Comox Valley) there was some good sledding on the east side, haven't been there since '97 so not sure how much development has gone on at the ski hill. Used to be good riding around Forbidden Plateau as well it is in the Valley as well. I would definitely start a search around there for more info.

Cheers.

There is a club in Nanaimo. Do a search on BC Snowmobile Federation – The Home of BC’s Sled Community – British Columbia, Canada and you could come up with a phone number or two. Good luck

Mid Island Snow Blazers cover south of comox, and about comox and north is another club, i forget the name off hand. I used to live on the island, sledding is decent, but not comparable to the rockies... though its usually much warmer. haha
