Zac's Tracs current work zone
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
Zac’s Tracs is located east of Black Diamond, Alberta. Not many avalanches occur nearby…nor do we get much snow here. If anyone hears of a well priced place near Revelstoke or Sicamous with a garage and enough room to park a 4 place sled trailer…be sure to let us know. Our location could change!
Seriously though, our location has worked to our advantage. Our snow starved area near Calgary has encouraged (more like forced) us to ride the Alberta Rockies from the Kakwa to the Crowsnest Pass and in a variety of eastern and central BC communities.
Climate and terrain characteristics work together to create unique snowpack structures. We enjoy the learning opportunity each season to recognize and test these comparisons as we travel the circuit of communities. As a consultant and Board Member of the Canadian Avalanche Association, Lori has used Zac’s understanding of the needs and issues relevant to backcountry riders to enhance avalanche safety programs for Canadian snowmobilers.
Through the exercise of writing this section I realize that the closest that we have been to experiencing a coastal snowpack was in Idaho in 2003.
In the name of research and professional development we should consider heading to the far west when we declare holidays in late February! I am pretty sure that Randy won’t mind.
