Felt bad as I ran threw fernie poring rain.. Just not there year for snow, but if you drive a few hrs more snow is stupid deep at silent pass, pouring rain down low but above 7000 feet it's real deep

Silent pass from Fernie is 323km, little more than a few hours. You got any pictures of your trip?

Well, went for a little ride sunday. Drove through Fernie while it was raining. Got to the staging are, and it was a slight drizel.

The trail up was interesting, between the bare rock and glare ice. At 5000', it started to snow, with signs of 4" to 6" of fresh over night. As was mentioned, about 6000', game on!

I don't normally take pictures, but on this day I simply could not resist. It is very apparent that people's opinion on 'suck' is very different then mine.

 

[ThrottleOps]

Yep, everyone's sitting at home when there's pow to smash!

Again, it's very hard to believe how far you don't need to go either. There sure are lots of tracks up there though. Why people insist on riding tracked snow is beyond me.

Would have loved to have been out riding on the weekend...mind was willing but the body wasn't. Went from 172 lbs to 164 lbs in three days...had a nasty bug last week...barely had enough energy to lay on the couch.

Glad you guys were able to find some pow.

Make no mistake, most of it wasn't pow. It was very usable though... very.

Actually he must have hid that magnet in my sled. Pistoncontractings sled is the one nicely parked on the side hill. Seems as though we reversed roles momentarily lol.

That tree magnet is what keeps me coming back to the Koot's.
