we wnet to corbin on sunday and went in to barnes/elliot. and up the chute to limestone(thats what we call it anyway!!) and it was O.K. about 4 feet of snow. the trail in was good all the way from the parking lot. We headed to rainguage and it was brutal...wind blown and very little snow.

into Barnes today, the 25th, and it was OK. Good for early season riding. The snow on the north side of Barnes Lake in the trees was 6" deep. Lots of overflow and we found 3' of wind blown on the south side of the lake. Not even close to climbing the chute in the back. Too many nuggets!!

Played around the creek and the meadows and the snow isn't bad....at least we had a good ride today. Most of what we found was an honest 24 inches in the meadow/creek bottom. Didn't go into Elliot as we had to get home and rescue the big bird....Merry Xmas everyone

We went to Corbin today, we staged at the townsite. Not much snow stay to the trails. There will be lots more up high. We road to a place called "Back Creek Outfiters". There had to be at least 4 feet or more back there. We still need a better base. If you like trail riding have fun. It snowed all day 6" so far.

must have been the aluminum two place trailer with the black pick-up. As I said above, an honest 2' in the trees....the wind blown may have been 4' in some places but they were few and far between....this is the 6" on the north end of Barnes Lake (look at the boots)....

Hello French's: This is the Bigelow's from Brooks, AB. writing to you from Elkford BC. Hope sledding was better for you then us. Not enough snow yet.
We were worried that you were in the avy in the Flathead area. We hear 8 still lost and search has stopped until the morning. We heard it was near Fernie and not Corbin. Hope you are all well and safe.
We send well wishes to all that are lost and their families.

Bigelow's and Vandale's

Corbin conditions are exellent!!!!! We groomed today. There will be someone to collect trail passes. R Newland won the 4l XPS oil today in the trail pass draw. Thank you to A&E Racing in brooks for the donation.
We are going to try to give away a prize on the weekends we collect Passes. What do you think???
hanks to all that have helped out.

I have ridin the Corbin pipeline before but dont recall the grooming\trail fees. Can you expand on where exactly the groomed trail is and how we pay. If we just put cash in the box how do we get a ticket to prove we payed -etc.


Thanks for any info you can provide.
