Christmas & New Years Cabin Rental Available!

Hi Gang - Rare opportunity....our guests that stay yearly are unable to come this year and so the Summit Log cabin has opened up over Christmas and New Years! I don't ever keep anyone's numbers that are interested because we have never in 8 YEARS had an opening so here is your opportunity! I will only consider stays of 4 days or more and would prefer to book it for both Christmas and New Years to one group but we will see what kind of interest we have. On other news....it has been raining here on and off - when it doesn't it is really nice out! We have had a total of three significant snows but that is melted below 6000-6500ft. There would be lots of places where the water puddles are full. Have a group staying to quad for the next few days and usually we don't have anyone book in November. Corbin news - this is the last year for the parking lot at the staging area...thank you to George and Terry and the other members of the Corbin Country Club for getting us one more year. There has been lots of discussion about how to handle parking next winter but no real solutions have come up as we do not have someone living there full time to keep a parking lot cleared of snow further in down the Flathead or the money for a bridge to access it a different way. Riding from your cabin here is going to become a lot more important when accessing that area. Wheeler Creek off the Coal Leach road, to Coal Mountain at the end of the Corbin highway is going to ramp up heavily over the next three years with more haul trucks - Leach road access to the pipeline will still be open. That is also accessible from the cabins here. So that is the info so far....get your avy courses lined up for the season, check your equipment, buy lithium batteries for everything and have extra on hand, get the avalanche.ca app and check out the new website and organization and do a few of the online courses under "trip planning", get your sled into the garage and all tuned up, hit the sled show in Saskatoon this weekend - be ready to enjoy the winter! Cheers - V

Oct 2/14 - A little Snow with +20 48hrs away

Howdy, rain in the wee morning hours turned to snow as forecasted. So I will completely believe that also as forecasted its supposed to be +20 all weekend! Sky is clearing (as it shows in the photo) and snow is already melting. It will be a fresh ride this weekend if you are out. Our cabins are open this weekend but we only have the Divide for next weekend and then we are booked til the 25th. November is our gap month. We tend not to have anyone for the month. We do a bunch of deep cleaning, repairs and maintenance and get ready for winter. So if it catches your fancy that you need a cabin in Nov - don't worry - we don't usually need much notice. Its kinda a month off for us from cabin rentals. I have been sitting on news about Corbin staging area and its not very good but talks were still going on so I decided to wait and give it a bit of time until more details are straightened out and then I will give you the facts that are up to date in time for sled season. Fair? Good. Until then - have fun at sled shows and out hunting and getting ready for the next season or livin' it up by extending the wheeled season! Cheers - V

Sept 28/14 - Dreary til Wed then SUN SUN SUN

Hi Crew....whewph didn't realize I hadn't posted for a long time. You can quad in any weather though so.... Here is one of our groups that come twice a summer. Been doing it for quite a few years....ps...Chris & Rob you still with this gang? LOL. It was dreary and cold these past two days and that is supposed to hang on til Wed then it hits +14 and Sun and continues to warm to +22 and lots of Sun for the weekend. We are open this weekend so if you are contemplating a later season quad trip give us a call! If you are already into winter mode getting sled fever then check out zacstracs.com to schedule an avalanche course. Some guys tack on a few days here for a sled trip after their course in Fernie. Sled shows are coming up too so you can ramp up the fever! We have confirmed bookings in Jan Feb and Mar already so its not too soon to plan. Until then - get out on the wheels - the trails are still in fantastic shape! Cheers -V

Sept 11/14 - 7cm pretty well Melted off now

Morning Outdoor Enthusiasts! Its +2 right now and sunny. We received another 7cm last night and it is almost melted off the grass already. Going to +6 by this afternoon and headed to +13 tomorrow and +21 on Sunday with Sun Sun Sun. Should be really beautiful scenery out there right now on the trails. We are booked this weekend and we only have the Summit Log cabin open for next weekend and then we are booked the weekend after that too. We do have the first weekend of Oct open if you are interested and some weekdays. Quad Squad is having their wind-up east of the Adanac/Tappay Roads junction. You can always give Julie a call at 403-562-8686 or email her at office@quadsquad.ca for more info on this and other club activities - they always welcome new members! Fishing should be a blast right now. Dress in layers and enjoy the hot chocolate in the cabins! Cheers - V

Sept 10/14 - Snow melted Now Round 2

Good Morning, the snow melted yesterday by noon and it looked like we weren't going to get the second blast on Wed that they forecasted as it was calm late into the night but....it just started snowing again this morning. Forecast has changed a bit - now we are just supposed to get to +11 tomorrow and then up to +16 for the weekend and going to +20 for Monday. So bring some layers because it may be the perfect temp or it may get too hot over the course of the day then cool on the way home in the evening when you are out. This will blow over and you will be left with fresh smelling damp trails for a little bit which is always welcome. Hunting season has started and watch that some areas will be closed or closing for that. Be respectful of others you meet on the trail. I am from Saskatchewan so I always liked the wearing bright colours in fall - see and be seen. We have a lake on either side of us - walking distance. You can get your BC licence online if you wish. Fishing should be great with this cold blast - they will be hunting any bug they can get! Cheers - V

Sept 8/14 - Snow Storm

Well we had a cool and windy day all day and then around 8pm it hit us. Snowing pretty steady out there. We blanketed the horses before it hit us. Its zero right now and supposed to be snowing and raining til Wed. Don't fear though because its supposed to be +13 on Thursday and going to +23 by Sunday and sunny all those days inbetween. For those arriving this weekend here - no dust LOL! Thought I would show you what it looked like so you could panic and then trust the forecast. This is our second snow. Hot days still ahead so don't worry. Still supposed to be cool in the evenings so still pack those fall suppers like lasagna and chilli to warm you up if you are riding in after sunset. No worries though - the ATV season is far from over! Cheers Gang!V

Sept 3/14 - Sleety Rain for Today then SUN SUN SUN

So it rained hard all night and is supposed to rain all day today and I believe it - I had my toque on as it was snowing up top and sleeting rain down here and is +2 right now. This is good though....as there will be very little dust this weekend. Its supposed to be between +20-24 Thurs through Monday. Don't let this weather today put you off for this weekend. Nice to get these shots of moisture. So we have the Flathead and Divide open this weekend at $189/night based on double occupancy and $15 per additional person unless you stay 4 nights or more then its a flat rate of $189/night. Really I think this weekend is going to be beautiful to be out in the backcountry. Cheers - V
