Conditions and Access Updates 

Unfortunately grooming is over for the season due to low snow on the access trails.   There is still potential access from the main staging area at Allan Creek although the hill at 3km will likely be bare.  Its only about 200m so just send it up to the goods.  New snow began to fall last night and is continuing on this morning.  This will really improve any dry patches of trail as at the very least there will be some lube for the sliders.

We want to send out a huge thank you to anyone who chose to #visitvalemount this winter season.  It was a challenging one for sure, but while there is some riding left this spring for you diehards, we are already looking forward to an awesome 2024/2025 season.

Without the help from our industry partners, there is no way #ridevalemount could be as ambitious as we are. Everyone in the snow business is struggling a bit this year. Be sure to check out our sponsor section on this website and support those who support you. Toys, foodndrink, lodging, gas, parts its all there. Invest your hard earned dollars with those that invest in you.

———-   GROOMING INFORMATION   ———-

Please be advised that daily trail fees are now $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 – Grooming operations have ended for the season There is still access from the main staging area although the trail may be very thin to the 3.5km mark.

Clemina Creek – Grooming operations have ended for the season unfortunately due to extremely low snow levels from the main staging area to the 3km mark.  We do not recommend driving up the main FSR due to potential damage to the road, no available parking and nowhere to turn units around.

Chappell Creek – Grooming operations have ended for the season 

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 –   Please be sure to use the donation box in the main staging area to help support ongoing grooming efforts.

Westridge Family LoopN/A – Logging and plowing will be ongoing again this winter season.  It is illegal to operate a snowmobile on a plowed road.

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.
