Wow! Looks nice.

We found waist deep pow around home today too- it was unbelievable for Central Alberta, especially this time of year.

Didnt take many pics and they are not the greatest but was kinda busy havin a blast!
Must have snow like a bugger there the last 3 days.....was doing the trail to Foxcreek on sat, the trail was hard but smooth and we couldn't find any decent pow to play in even if our lives depended on it..lol

Was a nice area to ride in but not much fun when the fields are set up like concrete..:(

Is it worth the trip up there tomorrow?

Should be snow settling and a bit heavier. Going out today again will post later.
You think the LOCAL club would be posting trail conditions and trying to draw you sledders out as part of ecenomic development and return community support. As you can see from the picts here it is awsome. Come on out.

We are planning to be up there tomorrow, now that I see your sled Ron we have met before about 2 months ago. I was in the trail getting stuck while you blew by like it was hard pack. Your sled run mighty fine on the snow.:)

Did you find the come a long? cuz we really really could of used it today. The conditions were great today we heard a couple of sleds today but didn't see them probably because we were to busy getting unstuck from a dead end trail. Lots of untouched trails though. Found a few side hills that had 4 feet of snow I know cuz I jumped off my sled to help my buddy and sank out of sight. Then as we were getting back to our staging area we were stuck on another side hill that crust was midpack making it very weird to deal with, someone else got royally stuck in that area as well. oh well made it back no harm no foul!:d

Never found it but maybe this spring on one of our quad rides which in years past is about this time now.

Would have loved to have pics but both of us had forgot our cameras(duh). I can see from some of your pics that you enjoyed some of the same fun we had. My sled a jag 440 has only a 3/4 inch track My buddy has a 800 rev with 2 inch paddles and we had fun except for thr 1 hour and a half delay in digging ourselves out from the dead end trail. We were toast by the end of the day. but it is a good hurt. Wiil be back again soon if the weather holds. Keep us posted as to the conditions if you please. and yes keep your eyes peeled for a comalong with a red handle. Thanks, Kelly.:cool:
