2023/2024 Fernie area

[LUCKY 7]

Let's start the thread. We need SNOW . Not sure if too many folks have ventured out yet. FSA did send the groomer up Corbin the other day. Forcast doesn't look all the great yet but it will change.

Would like to get down there this year but last few years the snow has sucked unfortunately. Fernie is over due!

Let me know if you come down and maybe we can ride together.

Same here….
Rode that way lots in the 90’s & early 2000’s….
Just seems that with kids and hockey, my mountain days are less, so I choose going more westerly than south …

All or most of those guys are out of the sport. Baker hasn’t ridden since Covid hit, Jimmy winters down south, Bruce goes south as well I believe. Not sure on Willie, Juber or Wayne.

Went up to the cabin today, bluebird day, road ride, new machine. Looks like the 44cm up there will make for a good base, all we need now is more snow to fall, and it will be minty up there!!!

Had a great time meeting new people, def a must go to place to ride for sure. Friendly folks are AWESOME!

He rode a lot of Turbo sleds and built turbo kits for Boondocker for a while. Also built and rode the first propane powered turbo apex.

Are you talking about Corbin or Coal creek or Morrissey parking lot?

Oh, Elkford itself, so that would be near round prairie staging area

 

[catrutt]

Is the pipe line all cleaned up and done? Will they groom this year?

 

[LUCKY 7]

I was wondering that too

 

[Firecatman]

Sounds like they're still working on the pipeline but they were going to at least try and groom it this year

 

[MOUNTAIN MICKEY]

Sleds are buzzing around Elkford these days. We are getting some snow. Rain and snow in the unreliable forcast. The weather forecast people SUCK at their jobs!!!
