Fernie conditions 2014/15

[ferniesnow]

Just checked avalanche.ca for snow pack summary and they're reporting 50-80cm of recent snow. Hope its true
Staging at the tin shacks tomorrow, i will report back:d

Chris, the road is plowed for logging. Illegal to ride sled on plowed logging road. There may be service trucks, etc in there on Boxing Day; just a heads up.

Yes it is Arnold. It will be the first groom so don't expect too much with regards to the trail. I am going up tomorrow and will get back to you with up to date conditions.

Thanks doug! I'm assuming there's a bypass route for sleds? I haven't been down there this season.

My understanding is that the logging company isn't very sledder friendly. You can get to the same place via the yellow gates.

Park on the pull outs by the river and use the yellow gates. Keeps everyone happy.

Looks amazing. Seems you found where the snows been hiding!

Staged at the yellow gates today, snow is thin down low but rode in 18" of fresh up top majority of the day. Lots of lands mines out there but still managed to have a blast.

I think Ferniesnow hogs all this snow to himself:d, Fernie lets on that the grass is still green around there

 

[wideman12]

Looks from the pictures you guys are riding in 235cm but I'll take fernie snows word for 135.lol Hoping to come down there and check for myself next week! I'll be happy to find half of what's in the pic!

 

[HILCLMR]

Taking the family to Fernie tomorrow, hoping to find some snow like ferniesnow did. Really need to stretch the turbos legs a bit. Anyone up for a ride Monday?

 

[wideman12]

If I weren't working I'd be there. I've got a new turbo I haven't had a chance to ride yet either. New baby has kept me home. Sometime next week I hope

 

[psychosledder]

I'm going to the back 40 expect to see no one haha

Hahahaha..........I don't hog it Chris but I don't like riding hard frozen tracks in the easily accessed meadows. There is some nice snow, albeit with the early season land mines, for the taking. With long periods of no new snow, it gets harder to find the tracked out areas. No grass in those pictures I posted.......

 

[fredw]

No I haven't. Gets you to the same place and Coal Creek will be groomed all the way for today.
