EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

At the request of the Provincial Government, the HRSA Board of Directors has been forced to make the difficult decision to stop all grooming operations and collections as of today for the remainder of the season.

Everyone’s priority should continue to be on delaying, containing and preparing the province to minimize serious illness and economic disruption. We must all do our part to prevent transmission of COVID-19.

The Recreation Sites (Ashton FSR, Brash FSR, Cooke Creek, Laforge, etc) are crown land facilities and will remain accessible to the public, although grooming will cease immediately for the remainder of the season. We must ask that you all please continue to refrain from using the cabins for socializing purposes, and use them solely as an emergency shelter in emergency situations. While we cannot force the full closure of our cabins, we hope that everyone can help in limiting the potential spread of COVID-19 and minimizing social contact by avoiding the use of the cabins. Signage will be posted on the Main Chalet and the Gordon Sidney cabin.

We encourage anyone who travels to take every precaution necessary to avoid contact with others, practice effective hand washing and above all, meet the social distancing requirements as noted by the health authorities.

Thank you all for an amazing season!
Be safe everyone!

HRSA Secretary Kyra Casorso, on behalf of the HRSA Board of Directors

Wednesday April 25,2018

Hello everyone , I sit here looking out in the distance and all i can see is the bright white snow still downing the mountains. We have been blessed with an amazing abundance of snow this season and i think record snow fall in some areas.   It feels strange to see the snow line still so low, it has been a long winter forsure, but all good things must come to an end. 

We have now wrapped up our Grooming program for the 2017-18 Season.
I would like to Thank first of all our amazing Groomer operators, Kent, Rob and Dustin. These guys put in so much time plowing parking lots and roads, grooming, repairing, removing trees, marking trails and pretty much anything else that is asked of them. Thank you for all your time, you are all a great asset to our club.
Secondly, to my Trail Collectors, Deb, Echo, Rose and Megan. Thanks for putting in another great season, they as well put in alot of time at the trail heads. lol
A big thank you to our Sponsors, thank you for your continued support it is greatly appreciated.
And to all my fellow Directors: Trent, Jared,Kaylee, Kathy, Doug, Curtis, Karla, Jason, ken, Cindy, Rick and Dustin. Thanks for all the hard work you put in from the meetings to events. As well all the volunteers who come out and support in any way you can.
And Finally i'd like to say a" Huge Thank You" to all our wonderfull Members and non member riders. We seen alot of new members to the club as well as new riders from all over the globe. We appreciate you all for supporting our little piece of paridise we call "Hunters Range"!
There is still lots of riding season left for those die hards, just remember to check any avy forcast, and ride safe and never ride alone!
Thank you again to all for a wonderfull 2017-18 Season here at Hunters Range, i hope to see you all next season!
Have a safe and happy Spring/Summer and Fall.
Cheers.
Robin
