Hey Let it snow, what are you guys doing for sled, rides and places to stay? you have buddies out there that trailer or what? I have a good friend in Squamish, but its tough going there as the snow is hit or miss... love to move out there..
How many mountain riders out there living in the flatlands of Ont??
- Thread starter Mr. Weed
- Start date
For all you flatlanders that didn't get enough riding in there is still a good month of riding here in Pemberton. We are only a couple of hours north of Vancouver and have the best riding of all the west right here.
You wouldn't happen to be part of the New Dundee club would you? I used to ride those trails quite a bit...
I Moved to BC 2 years ago primarily for the sledding and dirtbiking and definitely will never go back to Ontario, more than enough riding to last a life time here in BC. I'm actually working up in Inuvik, NWT at the moment, some pretty awesome boondocking around here...no stumps to watch out for! Had the option to drive up from Vancouver so I did and brought my sled, not much time to ride but have had some fun racing locals out on the river.
Made it down to West Yellowstone at new years for a couple days and have to say that area is pretty amazing too! Never understood what all the hype was about so I decided to check it out first hand was really impressed... bit different mountains than the riding in BC, but riding 3 states in one day was neat.
I did enjoy touring in N. ont, especially Wawa, Dubreilville, Hornepayne, but am definitely a complete mountain riding convert now... looking forward to some June riding when I get back to SW BC!
Love to see some of your backcountry riding pics ,do quite a bit of mountain riding here In Newfoundland myself...start a profile and post some of your Backcountry pics and vid on the backcountry only site

Yeah we have some peeps in Calgary and Kelowna. We flew to cowtown and trailered the sleds out to Valmeount from there... One of the XP's we rented ended up running like a pile of junk, it acted like a 340... so Vinnie Clark hooked us up with a sick deal on one of his XP's. You can bet his sleds all run right! lol Next time we go we're going to rent off him for sure.
We stayed in the main lodge at Twin Peaks Resort right in Valemount. The snow was ok, tons of base but it rained the week before we got in. The best spot we found was Upper Westridge, it was a bit of a PITA to get into, but once we got in it was nothing but sunshine and snow!
Here's some Newfoundland pics form last year! We rode from my friend Penny's place in Cornerbrook each day. We rode North Arm, Gros Morne, Lewis Hills... beautiful country and amazing people!
These are from last year. As soon as it snows some more up there i'll be heading up. It sucks this year because the motel in Smooth Rock Falls closed so you have to drive an extra 40 mins for a place to stay.
Pm'd ya!

Elliot Lake, ON here...don't do any mountain riding just yet, but I love riding the hydro line in Elliot. Some pretty steep and technical stuff, always with tons of powder. The way I see it, I'll be graduating from this small stuff and prepare myself for what's to come when I head West. Elliot's an awesome place to ride if you've never been!
hmmm smooth rock is about 1 and a half hours from me, abitibi canyon wouldnt be close to Iroquois Falls would it? has to be i fish on lake Abitibi. i go to school there, i live in Ramore, Ontario its a tiny town about 1 hour from Timmins, i dont have a mountain sled but i love riding in the pow, i have a 2005 polaris fusion 900 with a 121x1.5 gets me where i need to go lol.
i bet you stay in kapuskasing right?
Abitibi canyon is pretty far from lake abitibi. It's about 80km north of Smooth Rock Falls.
We stay in Cochrane, I think it's closer than Kap and has filthier bars.

Rob here from wasaga beach - ride some local stashes and the escarpment as well. heading to bc shortly for last rip of the year (work trip with a side of play). i have a sister in elliot lake and was gonna head up there this year, cept georgian bay got all the snow this year. my last ride was beginning of march in almost two feet of fresh snow - got three days of sick riding (sick for ontario) on my new to me long track. kinda bummed it ended so soon cause i was just starting to learn how to ride off-trail proper. abitibi is on my hit list for next year. pm me if you wanna hit some stuff up in my local - lake effect snows usually starts to hit in december, along with first rides of the season.
