Hey Shawn,
The rain was snow up above 6,000 ft, but it was heavy and wet. not bad for mid may, but access getting tough in spots. I would think Corbin could be a lot of gravel since it doesn't climb at a good rate, you need an area that climbs steady after you hit the snow line on the trucks. we started at 4500 ft on Sat and had to do some dirt biking in spots, 100' at a time, then a few hundred feet on snow, then more dirt etc etc. did that for about the first few clicks still the trail got onto a north facing side of the valley and in the shade.
Fernie gets tough on access this time of year, usually we hit Revy, Gorman or Quartz now for a late season ride, more elevation and steady climb from the truck wherever you hit the snow. I have family in town so I'm out for riding this weekend.
