SNOWMOBILING

Safe backcountry travel requires training and experience.  You control your own risk by choosing where, when and how you travel.  Please be aware of the risk of avalanche for all mountain areas.  Carry Peeps, Probes and Shovels at ALL times if you are heading out into the backcountry.  Please pack out everything you take in.

IMPORTANT!!!  Avalanche conditions for the Northern Rockies area can be found at CanadianAvalancheCenter and it is strongly suggested that you visit the site. There is ALWAYS a high risk of AVALANCHES in the mountains.

  • The Paradise Valley Snowmobile Cub out of Dawson Creek issues reports frequently during the season.

  • The Fort St John, Charlie Lake & Taylor

  • Fort Nelson 
  • Tumbler Ridge

  • MacKenzie

  • Chetwynd (Hasler & Silver Sands) Area

Take the time to check your Peeps and change your batteries.

Always remember to use the buddy system when out riding.  Never Ride Alone.  Keep in mind that slides can happen at any time and there is ALWAYS a high avalanche risk in the mountains.

Think Safety!  Your Life Depends On It!
