Sledding near Lloydminster, AB/SK?

[TheBluePearl]

I moved to Lloydminster, Alberta this past summer and have not experienced the winter around here yet. I moved here from Nipawin which had awesome snow and sledding conditions. I heard the snow fall in and around Lloydminster is not that good.

I am just wondering where people who live in this area go sledding? My sled is not set up for the mountains, but I would like to head up near Jasper maybe this winter.

There isnt really any trail system in this area, to the north there is a trail. Good luck sledding in Jasper, lol. You wont be doing that very long, somebody will be chasing you down. Last time you see your sled, its a prov park. You will have to go farther west if want to ride in the mountains.

I have a cabin at Turtle Lake which is right about an hour from LLoyd. I never got to ride there last year however, because of the poor snow fall. I hear there's lots of great trails around there tho, and I sure hope I can get out there this winter. When I drove through to go to Grey Cup, it still looked pretty insignificant for snow.

we go sledding in nipawin at least 2 times a year,or hudson bay area ,great trails.I dont think turtle has a club any more the trails are there but they get really rough.If you tuff it from turtle and get on meadow lake and chiteck lake system they have excellent trails when there is snow.Just check out sask trail map

I lived there for 16 years and right around Lloyd there isn't any good places to ride but if you go north starting around Pardise Hill, Turtleford, the Bronson Forest Range and into Meadow Lake you will find lots of good places to ride with plenty of snow. It might not be the mountains but you will find 2 to 3 ft of snow on a good year.

Thank you! That is what I heard from a few people I work with. Is there any good places on the Alberta side within an hour or so away?

We played around there a little bit but there was so much fencing it was a pain in the butt trying to get around
