[bhowes]

[awkwardmoose]

By vehicle, I know that the Gap is open and the bridge over Racehorse and Dutch is open on the trunk road heading north (from the Gap)...to get to the Dutch Road turn-off.

Can't speak to the Dutch road heading west...

Couple of culverts got washed out on the dutch road. Md of rocky view only mantains road to the end of ceasers flats.
On the atlas road all bridges have been damaged by heavy equipment. Some bridges have been changed to quad bridges. Only one bridge got partially washed out and believe it is the first bridge you come to leaving the dutch road. Washed out on the south side. Road is not full size truck friendly where the new quad bridges are.

Quad bridge is just to the left in the picture. Picture taken from. JJ site.

Well sorry guys and gals forgot the camera snow ok a little on the sugary side 1 more foot will have the major land mines covered rode the main trail north to the y to go into window and tent areas played on most of the finger off shoots going in still have to be carefully aware of the surroundings saw lots of moose today must be hiding from the hunters got with in 20 yards of a big massive bull and a couple of yearlings parking lot not plowed out yet but road was good into the y junction before the shelter will be awesome in a week or so depending on the weather seems to me I remember a trail fee / donation box in the parking , staging area in years past but did not see it today

17"?

Looks more like 7", probably the same tape measure you use for your johnson, then tell the old lady "see honey - 10 inches!"

Everything got bolted back in last night. Just need the front plastic back on, a coat of wax and she's good to go. She looks good all trimmed in shiny black.

An Iphone would have auto-rotated that picture you know....LMAO!

Hey guys me and a buddy are thinking of heading to fernie for a few days todo some riding just wondering where we could go or if it's even worth the drive any info would be great

 

[jaredszakacs]

well I can tell you the Pincher creek area got close to 2 feet in town some reporting over 4 feet of fresh in the castle valley. Id say come riding we don't get these big dumps like this all the time.

 

[ferniesnow]

You will not be disappointed in Fernie. There are hazards and be careful or you will be disappointed!
