The Whitecourt area has received anywhere from 5-15cm of snow in the last 48hrs.

Staging Areas:

We are happy to announce that both staging areas will be open in time for this coming weekend!

The Cookhouse at the Eagle River Staging Area repairs have been completed and it is now available for use as well! Please continue to use caution if you are leaving the parking lot as there may still be mulching debris present.
