Bralorne is the Sled HQ and many areas can be accessed directly from town. The East Hurley, Noel Valley and Kingdom Lake FSR provide unlimited sledding options right from your door. Watch this awesome sledding footage filmed by Dan Treadway in Bralorne last winter! Tyaughton Lake area may be known for the great Heli Skiing available but there is also great sledding in the Taylor Basin zone where there is a historic mining cabin. Slim Creek is unquestionably the biggest area around for sledding but be warned, there is 35km of road riding just to access the trail head. Extra gas is a must! The Bridge River Valley Snowmobile club maintains an emergency shelter in the Lone Goat Creek area, a potential destination for novices when trail and weather conditions permit. The club has 2 snowcats and grooms the roads as needed. Backcountry Snowcats keeps the Hurley groomed from Pemberton and the Mineshaft Pub takes care of the East Hurley to Bralorne. All destinations offer spectacular views and riding experiences. There are hazards, including avalanches, crevasses, creek crossings and white outs. Know your limitations before heading out and always inquire locally about trail and weather conditions; both can change quickly. Avalanche training, extra gas, clothing and food should be standard equipment for anyone in the mountains. Please respect the Heli & Cat Ski areas which are marked with orange stakes and keep snowmobiles off the runs. |
