Trails are still in great shape with what seems to be an early Spring in the Whitecourt area. We received a few inches of snow over the last week but with the warm temps it definitely shrunk and it was a bit too warm for the groomer to do any good. Trails are still smooth […]
Summit Trail to Summit Shelter and Goodwin Lake Trail were groomed this week. Also, the Golden Triangle Trail from Whitecourt to Virginia Hills Road was groomed. Grooming will continue as long as the conditions allow. Trails are in good condition.
Friday's snowfall really helped the trails. More snow fell north and west of Whitecourt. Groomer is out Tuesday and Wednesday around Eagle and Carson trails. Thanks for supporting the Trailblazers and grooming efforts by purchasing trail passes! Compliance has been very good. Trails around Goodwin Lake and Summit Shelter are still a little slick so […]
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!
Weather looks great for the upcoming Rally. Trails are in good condition even though snow level is a little low. Rivers are frozen. Rally route is 60 km each day...follow signs, can't miss it. Lots of parking at Seniors Hall, follow signs. Registration opens at 8am on Sat and Sun. Checkpoint #2 will open at […]
Summit Trail from Town to Shelter is groomed and back around Goodwin Lake loop to town. There are some big trees to cut along that loop so use caution until volunteers can get out there. If you have a saw, feel free to help out and then let Trailblazers know. Conditions still look favorable for […]
The Golden Triangle Trail from the Carson Shelter north to Letter O was cleaned again on Feb 4th and 5th. Several hours of log cutting. Groomer is planning to head toward Letter O (halfway to Swan Hills) on Monday. Trails north of Athabasca are in good condition. Trails southwest to Summit are rough as groomer […]
Since the groundhog saw his shadow, we should have 6 more weeks of sledding...er, winter. Groomer has been out leaving from Eagle River Staging Area and grooming west to Gundy Rest Area and then south to Highway 43 on the Manweiler Trail this week. Trails to Carson Shelter and Athabasca Lookout were also groomed again […]
The Whitecourt area has received between 5-10cm of new snow over the past week. We have started grooming operations on both the north and south trails. All trails have been groomed at least once. Staging Areas: Both staging areas are open for the season. Use caution if you are leaving the parking lot or trail […]
