Any new updates from there?

 

[ferniesnow]

I haven't ridden Elkford for 10 days now. So I have no information that is relevant to the area. I've been in the west coast powder and it was superb!

I didn't have room for the snow……….I had to carry a whole bunch of road grunge! Friggin' roads were very wet up the Coq and through Roger's……..not a nice drive in poor weather!!

Maybe flurries, mid week………we'll see what carry over that dance has!

Saturday, the back of mear lake was soo wind blown with exposed rocks! So much different than the previous weekend when there was untouched powder.

Yeah rode Elkford sat as well every inch of exposed terrain is badly wind burnt rocks exposed all over the place. There was some untracked settled snow in the trees if you knew where to go but still 8-10'' at best. This area is in desperate need of some big snowfall as are most places in BC.

Feb 9th and 10th the sled dog races are being staged at the round prairie staging area, the district will be plowing a lot up by the Catholic Church on natal road for the snowmobiles to stage from, then they can use the trail system through town to get to koko.

Nothing downtown, melting! Saturday there might have been a few inches of new up top, still rocks showing back of mear.

Did you guys get any fresh snow lately?

Nothing fresh for a couple weeks. The 30 cm dump in Fernie didn't make it this far north.

It is getting a little testy....to say the least!

 

[ferniesnow]

One just has to look a little harder.......or be a little crazy! It's there and enjoyable!
