Days have been warm in the valley as spring seems to be coming on strong. However still lots of snow at the trailheads and fresh snow up the mountain. March is statistically our month with most precipitation and that means lots of snow in the highcountry and thats exactly what is happening now. Great spring sledding has begun with 20 to 30cm new snow and more forecast up high. March is the month to get your sledding on!
This winter, in Valemount alone, Zacs Tracs has been successful at training hundreds of riders, empowering them with avalanche awareness and lifesaving self rescue skills. It doesn't matter how many successful seasons you've been mountain riding, or where you carry your beacon and shovel...you have 11 minutes to get your partner breathing...you CANNOT learn skills like this from your friends...you need to be trained by experts in Avalanche Skills Training. There is one more AST 1 course being offered in Valemount this season by Lori and Randy Zacaruk...February 26-28, 2010. Many mountain riders break all the snow safety rules...how many more years do you have of mountain riding...do the math...put the odds in your favor. Get more information now!
We have an outstanding mountain snowpack so far this season with good depth and cover and farmers are ready for long lingering wide open spring riding!
Mountain riding is serious adventure. Friends and family should be aware and get recreational avalanche training. Awareness and self rescue save lives!.
See Zac's Tracs for courses and schedules.
Tired of traveling so far to find tracked out snow? Consider hiring a local guide.
