Grimmer Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Hey everyone. I haven't been to Cochrane for a couple of seasons. Spent many seasons up there and now ride mostly Quebec. Looking to get away over the holidays. North Adventure, Westway? Suggestions? I only like the North Adventure because a couple years back we were there and it dipped down to -30 so the heated storage was great but the changing ownership left us scrambling for good food to eat. Forecast is looking pretty good after Christmas so I'm open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris1 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The Thriftlodge isn't bad. Not fancy at all but cheap and clean. Terry's steakhouse is in front of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few months ago I saw a post that said Terry's Steakhouse was closed (as in permanently) but I just Googled it and a Trip Advisor post had a customer comment with a posted visit date of October 2019.

X 1,000,000 on the bold Any of us that are up in the area either on sleds or passing by on the highway usually take note of the NAI. Usually no rigs/sleds parked out front. Last winter I stayed @ the the Westway for the 1st time. Quite happy w/ my room. Several years since I've stayed @ the Thriftlodge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Looks like trespassing to me. We almost lost all Hydro ROW permissions a few years ago because of people not staying on the trail. The permission is ONLY for the groomed trail, not the whole ROW. JMO. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All have landowners that are starting to get sensitive to free riders going all over place too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the new Travelodge motel, and if anyone was wondering Terry's also still open for business, breakfast and dinner no lunch service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
