2019/2020 Blue River Conditions and Updates

[FernieHawk]

Sounds like getting to the Holy Grail is like going through the Pearly gates in Fernie...cross your fingers and hope something doesn’t happen while your in there.

Lol yes very sketchy getting in but once you’re in there it’s unbelievable

Big blue is pretty sweet aswell

These areas are all listed and mapped on Blue River's snowmobile webpage. Not a secret.

The first guys to break into horseshoe are very ambitious also....a fair bit of shoveling to build that side hill trail into to alpine... hats off to you

Every year for 10 years people have been making posts telling others to keep quiet about this place. It's not a secret. There is a snow and mud thread about conditions every year. Grail, blue, horseshoe are mentioned often enough. The Finn parking lot overflows to the Highway on weekends when conditions are good. The glacier hotel parking lot fills up on bluebird/low Avalanche risk days all with riders heading into coulees and north blue. We're all going to be fine.

Any updates for conditions at foam salmon or groundhog?

We met a group yesterday on the trail going into salmon. They were towing a sled out because someone lost a key. Said they were searching for it for two hours. We found the key today on our way up the trail. Ski doo 850. If it was you we met we would love to give you your key back.



Condition update: 3-5 ft+ everywhere you looked. We went back to Heaven and were one of the only groups that made it. Unreal day. Trail tomorrow would be a nightmare for anyone trying to come in. We’ll be going somewhere else.

Key situ, that’s brutal! Been there once but found key within 15-20min. I feel for buddy..

Yah that endurance test can make the trail into Salmon look like a groomed ride up to Allen.

Always have a spare key tucked away in the bottom of the back pack. Pretty cheap insurance for a lost/broken key.

I’m surprised nobody has claimed this key yet. For sure I thought at least one guy would be on this forum.

For our group the guys with Doo’s all have spare keys... and they had them programmed so they are all on the same setting. Aka any one of our groups keys will work on their sleds. You just never know.

 

[Jorg Jorgenson]

Too bad they don't make all the sleds like the Polaris Pro's.... no key, no problem.... just unplug the harness and away you go!

Buddy of mine’s son tripped SOS on his inreach just moments ago. My buddy is in Mexico on vacay and his son went riding with a few buddies. He just got a call from the RCMP and Search and Rescue. If anyone is in the area and hears anything please let me know. 780 977 1595 is my cell to text to or call. Thanks.
Dont know what area yet but I’m trying to explain by text to his dad how to
log into the website and view map history etc.

 

[rknight111]

Yikes, hope everything is ok.

 

[slededjr]

RCMP got a hold of him. He tripped it accidentally. Not sure how ya do that but anyways all is good. Thanks everyone.

 

[Bexson800]

Anyone made it into holy grail yet

 

[steveo10]

Any clue when coulees and redsands are groomed next. Riding Friday/Saturday.

Condition reports awfully quiet...bet that white gold is worth the cold right now
