Spring Conditions are here. We have had above 0c temperatures this past week and expecting above 1c this upcoming week. We received fresh snow the past couple of days: 2-6″ on south side and north side saw more.
TRAILS: Trails are still in great riding condition. Some bare patches with dirt spots, exposed rocks and debris are now emerging in open areas. Beware on south exposed hills. Also beware of drifting across the trails.
GROOMING: North side trails (Athabasca trail/approach, Gundy and Manweiler to the River-Silver Triangle piece) were groomed a few days ago. South side trails have not been groomed for a couple of weeks, but still in great shape.
HAZARDS: If you are riding, please use EXTREME caution. Please use extreme caution when crossing water areas including rivers, lakes, ponds and streams. There is “Active Logging” present in our areas as well, please STOP at all signs, where indicated. Please beware of trail/road crossings south of town on the Goodwin trail – grader banks to get over. GOLDEN TRIANGLE SECTION L TO O IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. BEWARE OF EQUIPMENT IN AREA.
STAGING: It is recommended to stage from staging areas-gates remain open at Groat Creek Staging and Eagle River Staging Areas.
PLEASE PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND GUIDELINES AS SUGGESTED BY AB HEALTH. USE PRECAUTIONS WHEN IN THE WARM-UP SHELTERS AND AROUND OTHER AREAS THAT PEOPLE ARE OR HAVE BEEN.
