There are a few small changes that riders should be aware of. Please contact me for any further info.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Allan Creek
Due to severe early season icing, one access trail up to the Allan alpine has been gated to preserve the snow to allow grooming operations to commence. This blockage is to improve the safety, provide a timely access for everyone and to allow us to provide a groomed trail as soon as possible. Please help us out by spreading the word and respecting this blockage until we are able to set trail.
This area is not for beginners in the early season.
Clemina Creek
There is a residence at 3km on the Clemina FSR. The resident has stated to VARDA that they will be periodically plowing the Forest Service Road from 3km to 0km. Due to this plowing, the trail has changed for the first four KMs. The beginning of the trail will be the same as before, but .5kms in; the trail will leave the FSR and utilize an existing trail and hydro line. Due to the ground layout, we will need sufficient snow to fill in a few crossings in order to get the groomer through. Please be patient with us as we prepare for the first groom.
NOTE: This only affects the first 4km of the original trail!
Please remember that it is against the law to operate a snowmobile on a plowed road.
Brushing
Over 45km of trails have been brushed including:
Chappell Creek Oasis
Westridge Family Loop Horsey Creek
Clemina MOF Trail KeyholeConnector
Keyhole
The Keyhole snowmobiling area is now accessed from the Clemina parking lot during regular snowmobiling season. This was due to extremely unsafe parking for the area. There is a small crossing that requires a good amount of lower valley snow to fill, so please be patient with us as we await snowfall.
Please use this new access to the area only.
VARDA Webpage
VARDA is in the process of switching over to a new website to allow easier updating.
Our new page address is www.valemountrecdevelopment.com
This will be the place to look for important information as well as area reports and updates. We are still finalizing and updating this site, please be patient as we work to complete it
VARDA Email
The office email has also been changed to Varda@valemount.ca
PreSeason
Until we are able to get out into the Clemina and Allan Cabins, it would be awesome if early season riders can help out by making sure the cabins remain clean and that all doors are closed at the end of the day. Please let the office know if any facilities need major cleaning or maintenance. If someone has left garbage behind, please do your part by helping to bring it down.
