In fact it is snowing as we speak. If we get the 10cm forcast tonight and tomorrow, the -12C and sunny sunday will be a good day to ride. Groomer was moved today, with snow this weekend Alex will be grooming next week.

 

[Summiteer]

Still snowing, looks like we got a little better than 2" over night in town, not sure about north of here.

Um, oh yeah, its a red one...not the blue.....
We're friendly, just not enough snow this year so I don't want to share.
Heavy snowfall warning was a load of crap. Stopped snowing about 09:00 this A.M. We did get about 6" new this week though. went out for a couple of hours today. Not enough to be comfortable on the cutlines, there is absolutely no base. Trails are o.k. not great, once the groomer makes a pass this week they'll be alot better.

6" is better than nothing I guess... too bad the forecast turned out to be bogus Thanks for posting the news.

Grooming commenced Yesterday. Trail from town to the Athabasca cabin and over to the staging area done yesterday. Depending on the drivers schedult most of the trails north of town should be done for this weekend. I'll post the progress Thursday

On Sunday you can get trail passes and maps at the IGA or the Esso, both along highway 43 through Whitecourt. You will come to the IGA first, turn to your right towards Canadian Tire. The Esso is a little farther along on the left side of the highway. Most of the trails have been groomed this week in the areas North of Whitecourt. I am going for a ride tomorrow and will post more info when I get back. I will also let everyone know what has all been groomed before the weekend.

Are you riding from town or trailering out?

 

[sumx54]

My Nytro's just getting out of the hospital from the last trip. Where is this area that is gonna make my Nytro nervous? I think the last time we rode togther yours was going backwards strapped to a Yamaha for a while. I'll bring some ratchet straps so you can get home. LMAO
