Trails to the south of Whitecourt are icy and quad traffic has caused many ruts, use extreme caution. Remember that the trails are for snowmobile use in the winter, not wheeled vehicles. All the money and time spent grooming for sleds is destroyed when wheeled vehicles go on the trails.
279 riders participated on Saturday and 208 on Sunday. The trails held up very well even with the low snow levels. Thanks to all the volunteers, sponsors, and checkpoint people who helped to make the Rally a success. The raffle sled was won by Randy Matthews of Whitecourt. Congratulations and good for you!

Lots of parking at Seniors Hall, follow signs. Registration opens at 8am on Sat and Sun. Checkpoint #2 will open at […]

Groomer is being trucked across river to start work from the Eagle River Staging Area this week. Athabasca River is frozen is some spots, use extreme caution around rivers and creeks. Trails in the Goodwin Lake area are very icy, use caution.
A small amount of snow today will cover up the icy trails. Be very cautious as rivers and creeks are not frozen yet. Remember to follow the Town and County bylaws regarding OHVs. Trails are still rough and in need of snow.
