Elkford Conditions.

[MOUNTAIN MICKEY]

No snow in Elkford yesterday. Just a light smear at the top of the ski hill where we were working cutting brush.

We rode again today went with a buddy from work and took his gf out for her first time ever on a sled and had a blast.
Probed 80cm 50 was base and 30cm of fresh on top! Not bad for November 1

We have an inch on the ground in town. Don't know how far up you would have to drive. The young guys get the itch pretty bad but I am going to wait a bit more.

Did Elkford also get this much snow?

No, we didn't. We are at 1360 meters and have an inch on the ground. Corbin staging area is 1516m and they had 6" on the ground. They tend to get more early season snow down there in most years.

Rode up to Koko today and there are 50 cm in the Koko meadow, 60 cm in Mear lake, and 50 cm down in the Bull. Lots of hazards and the snow is all sugary.

The trail up has lots of rocks ticking the skis and one doesn't want to be too close to the edge for the fear of stumps and deadfall. For those who think it is good, I'm sorry, I don't agree.

Had buddies ride up there a few days ago they said they didn't leave a rock un turned lol

Hahaha...............another batch of logging along the trail west of the creek that comes out of Tundra. Going to be lots of cut blocks once the snow gets deeper.

Hey Doug, I think you might need to come and ride the "Fernie snow" lots of it here.

Hahahahaha..........I'm coming once I get this family Christmas thing over and done with. But I'm also hearing conflicting stories and seeing pictures that weren't really convincing me that it was really ready for rockin' and rollin'.

6" in the driveway when I got home from Lethbridge last night. High elevation wind was brutal.

Enough snow to get out on the koko trail? Can you get into bull river area?

We were up on the 29th of December and there are still lots of hazards. Didn't venture above Mear Lake as that is a mine field and needs lots of cover. The trail is open up and over to the Bull. Lots of rocks/stumps on the sides of the trail. Less snow in the Bull drainage. Cut blocks are dangerous, IMO.

Hope that helps Cassidy.
