Last weekend we were out there and we are comin back sunday. The snow was awesome if you can play in the trees. The stuff out in the open is tracked and wind blowin, looking at the snow forcast it should be a great weekend anywhere you go in there.

Went to Rolling Hills today.
It was awesome! Found lots of deep snow. Snowed all day today.
Trail from Fernie was pretty good and mostly like washboard with the corners having the worst bumps. There are some grat rides in the trees.

I agree. Rode there as well today and the snow was 1.5 to 2 ft in the trees and it was snowing hard on the way out this afternoon. Were you riding with a yellow Doo zx 800 today mac900?

By 8:00 pm, last night, there was 6" or 15 cm of fresh in the Rolling Hills and it was still snowing hard.

I'm gonna get a deck on the mogul master to carry my sled as there is sooooo much untracked through the trees when we groom that it would be sweet for a little night ride.

Trail to the Wrangler's is baby-butt smooth for Sat morning. Enjoy.

Yes. My brother in-law on the zx.
We whipped out to the notch first thing but visibility was pretty bad so we came back and played in the trees. Conditions are a bit odd. I've never seen wind blown cornices on the small hills just off the trail into rolling hills. I really like the high visibility stakes they've place along the trails. Makes it easier to keep a handle on where you are, especially when it's snowing and everything starts looking the same.

I was on the 2012 Summit x with my daughter on the xp 600 Summit. We pulled up to the cabin when you were there and then saw you parked in the Rolling Hills on our way out. Glad to hear you guys had a great day to.

Glad to hear you had a great ride Saturday. We had a great time off to the right of the notch on Friday. The snow was nice in the trees.
