Queest

This well established area has a fine chalet and 35 square kilometers of riding country with deep powder and exciting hill climbs. The access trails have wonderful views of the Eagle Valley and the Shuswap and Mara Lakes. Elevation is over 2,000 meters allowing for good sledding well into spring. Note: The route to North Queest is unmarked and can be difficult. Use caution and consult with a local rider first.

To reach the Queest riding area, turn north off the Trans Canada Hwy onto the Sicamous/Solsqua Road (beside the Abide With Inn). Take this road for approximately 1 km (past the Pole Yard on the right) to the start of the 1800 Forest Service Road on the left. Grooming usually starts at the base unless there is active logging. If there is, and the road is plowed, use the parking lot just after the 14 km marker. (Be sure to use your radio to alert logging truck drivers of your presence) NOTE: An alternate, groomed route, starting at 1.7 km should also be open for use if there is sufficient snow at this elevation.  It is approximately 26 km to the chalet from the start of the 1800 Road.
