small, but challenging area 20 km south of town. Mainly road
riding, with a trail to high (9000 ft.) alpine area. Good family
ride.

Keystone / Standard
Basin
The
"Keystone" is a very popular snowmobile mountain. Certain places
in the Keystone / Standard Basin are also prime Caribou habitat.
To accommodate both snowmobilers and caribou, the Club has
agreed to some snowmobile restrictions in this area.
Free
Adobe Acrobat Reader required to view. Use the zoom function

 Stay
on the trail leading from the top of the cut block to the
towers. The area south of the towers are included in the new
restrictions (see map).
In the Standard
Basin, restricted zones are the areas south and west of the long
ridge (see map).
All restricted
areas are well marked along their closure boundary with signs
similar to those seen on Frisby Ridge. If caribou are spotted
anywhere snowmobile activity takes place, shut your snowmobile
off and let the animals leave the area.

NOTICE |
|
The future use of this mountain depends entirely on
you, we cannot stress enough the importance of
staying out of the restricted areas. The Club has
spent a considerable amount of time and effort to
keep these mountains open. The trail into Keystone
remains ungroomed as part of the agreement of use
for this area. |
DO NOT APPROACH ANY CARIBOU
Parking is
limited and this is a very large area, for more experienced
riders.

abound. This is a remote region, pack gear accordingly. Watch
