Fernie conditions 2014/15

[xteam]

I know it's a fat chance of happening but has anyone seen a right hand klim glove around the 41 mile marker? We staged on Sunday just before the bridge and I had it loading sleds on trailer and deck but must have fallen out of my bag loading it into the truck. Not expecting, but figured worth a shot!!

It rained all night in Elkford and the ceiling was high this morning................there was no snow on the trees at the 7000' level! It is still raining.........friggin' rain enywazzzzz

With Fernie tending to be lower and warmer................just saying!

Yes it rained here in fernie hard last night. Got the new deck almost build yesterday. Finishing off the rails today if it lightens up!

Doug is the snow pretty much gone now, any areas at all going to be rideable end of April?

On saturday we unloaded at 42 k. Guys were up aways further closer to 43 unloading as well. Rained to the 48 k mark then turned to snow. Lots of untouched. Was heavy wet snow but rideable. It was good for my last ride of the season. I'll post a picture or two when I get to my computer.

yesterdays ride had better snow the I thought I would find. I would say there will be a few more weeks up high and if it stays snowing like yesterday there could be longer.

Douge you will have to take my word for it. I spend my time working with my riders and don't often have a camera with me.
So you know we went up into the little trees bowl, Ive seen you in there before!!

Any new snow cone out of this unsettled weather ?

I unloaded at Corbin on Monday and found some decent snow in Silent and over toward the cabins, probably some of the best I've been on all year. You'll have to try and drive in a lot further getting pretty muddy on the road. It's been snowing on/off all week up the valley to Atlas and west on hwy 3 so should be a bit of good stuff out there. If anyone is going out tomorrow anywhere between the AB border and Cranbrook I wouldn't mind going for a cruise. PM me if you like.

The creek crossings are becoming a challenge. Water flow is increasing with every warm day......getting tougher to find the snow bridges.

There was 8" of fresh yesterday above 7000'. It was a decent day.

How much more season do you think there is for your neck of the woods.

I don't think our annual Mother's Day ride will happen in Elkford. Too many rocks to navigate.

Fernie will be longer because access is easier. How much longer. Who knows? The dedicated will ride in May and maybe early June.

Decent day yesterday, as Doug mentioned. Access is good and decent snow up there! Mother nature could still dump on us yet! Two years ago as of April 14 it snowed 70cms after a 3 week dry spell! You just never know!

Went up to the rolling hills cabin today with the gf for lunch, we unloaded at mile marker 44 and rode snow the whole way although I would probably push a mile further yet next time. I went and poked around a bit while she cleaned the cabin and I found a few inches of fresh on top of ice, but it snowed the whole time we were up there so you never know what may accumulate!

How's it looking up there going to come up for a day ride for some testing on a sled
