Ride safe all!
PLEASE NOTE, that it is so crucial to our future that all riders obey ALL SNOWMOBILE CLOSURES. Signs cannot be placed everywhere along a closure line and with todays technology, the “I didn’t see a sign” excuse does not fly. Please have the boundary files off all your favorite riding areas downloaded onto your phone or GPS. This is the way to remain in bounds at all times, but to also get the most out of the riding area that we do have. Please educate others and report any witnessed infractions to the RAPP Line at 187.952.7277.

———- GROOMING INFORMATION ———-
Please be advised that daily trail fees are $30 per day per snowmobile.
Youth 15 and under are FREE (this has been increased from 12) This is the first time in 10 years there has been an increase and it was crucial to operations that we kept up with inflation and cost increases all around. Our season pass fees have remained the same for this season and we have increased the free youth age to help families and regular riders.
Allan Creek – Groomed the evening of February 20. Trail passes are required
Clemina Creek – Groomed the evening of February 16. Trail Passes are required.
Chappell Creek – Groomed the evening of February 20. Trail passes are required.
Keyhole – N/A – There will be access from the Clemina staging this year as our industrial partners have left us with a quality crossing.
Crystal Ridge – GROOMED with the new big kitty and access is amazing! The runs look almost untouched! Riders can now use the main staging area. Please be sure to use the donation box in the main staging area to help support ongoing grooming efforts.
Westridge Family Loop – N/A – Logging and plowing will be ongoing again this winter season. It is illegal to operate a snowmobile on a plowed road.
Avalanche Information
Keep your wits about you and check www.avalanche.ca before your ride. If you do venture out, please report any of your findings to the Mountain Information Network through Avalanche Canada. This can be as simple as uploading a few pictures to the app.

Mountain Caribou – The Allan and Chappell Creek Riding areas are surrounded by wildlife closures. Please educate others and report any witnessed infractions to the RAPP Line at 187.952.7277. Files are available on our website that can be put into your gps or phone to help you understand the boundaries. Failure to comply with regulations or to report infractions will only result in further restrictions and potential loss of the area and none of us want that. STAY IN BOUNDS!
Please be aware of your location at all times. Allan and Chappell Creek are surrounded by wildlife closures and any infraction is extremely detrimental to our cause of protecting our ride areas. We are in a very sensitive state in the province right now and it is more important than ever to show what good stewards the snowmobile community is. Help with education and self policing while out in the field.
