we always go to chetwynd, there is alot of riding around the powderking area, its anywhere from 2.5-3 hours depending on where you want to ride, we go to silversands alot, but there is also hasler, beaver creek (my favorite), powderking and old friend.

We start off over in Beaver Creek, Hasler. Then once there is enough snow we ride around Tumber Ridge, Babcock Mountain. Then later in season Red Deer Falls, the snow wasnt the best last year, but we still found lots of pow. I think Red Deer falls is the closest about 160km, not much of a ride to mountain. Beats the trail to Kakwa any day.
I ride kakwa lots, rode hastler once last year. Where is beaver creek?

I'm five hours north to GP, but when we come up we'll do kakwa, and beaver creek, beaver creek is a lot nicer in my opinion, you unload, ride over the tracks, up the powerline about 5 min, hang a right, trail through the woods for half an hour and your in. Nothing like Kakwa where you do 40k of trail just to get to some hills.
one of my friends climbed a chute from the highway at beaver creek and got into the 8th bowl, then comming back down his sled started on fire from his brakes, What a climb!
That's terrible for resale value when you can't have "Never been on fire" in the add lol.
So where is this area from G.P?

you head towards prince george on the pine pass, and i believe its around 1.5 hours south of chetwynd, there is a small pull out on the side of the highway on a sharp corner, sorry i dont know the exact place i was hung over and sleeping for most of the way there.
lol sounds like your trying to kill me, just pull over on a sharp corner on the pine pass...haha

The funny thing is, it is just like BB4 says. He may have been lucky he was hung over. There is a couple of other places to pull off, they are all small, and make sure you park so no one blocks you in. I usualy start looking after you cross the transmission line, It is sketchy as f*** when its snowing hard.
So I guess not many other people ride beaver creek, I guess the Chetwnd crowd will be happy or maybe a taboo thing.

when i was there we had to back our 25 foot trailer in behind the international mxt, that was sketchy. and yeah the pull outs are very very small.
i live in chetwynd now and used to live in mackenzie each town is just on one side of the rockies and the other well its on the other. and ya riding in the pine pass is my fave. pick a spot from what ive been told all my life. i have ridden powder king, silver sands, and the calzon. tons of snow all winter long(half the year) just find out where is snowed the night before for no tracks and fresh pow

Parking can be a pain....just get there a little earlier There was another problem a while back with theives breaking into vehicles along the highway Never heard whether they were caught or not.

Hey RMK Junky the thieves were dealt with. Better than caught. Heard that a group of sledders came down early caught them followed them beat them and no thieving last year so kudos to the good guys I say;.
