That's what I'm sayin! As long as the snow is decent, let's go do some T shirt riding... who's in??

 

[Staple_STI]

So not sure who is going out this weekend.. but my sled is fixed and ready..

Myself and Framtam are looking for another 1-2 guys heading to Golden or Fernie.

Both will be driving out of Calgary so Revy is a bit far for a 2 day ride.

We just got a good dump in Fernie. Knee deep and and still snowing. Probably about 30cm most places and more in a few of our sweat spots.

Lookin for a first week of may trip. Just wondering how the locals estimate the snow to be. If it's worth it to come here or go elsewhere?​

 

[ferniesnow]

I haven't ridden Fernie for awhile now but Elkford is pretty sweet still. Snow line is about 200m off the main road and no long lengths of dirt on the trail yet. This is from today........

that looks awesome, is there any powder left? or is it mainly just heavy power snow?

There was a couple inches on top of a sun crust and as the heat progressed, it got a little mushy even above 7000'. So in answer to your question, there is no powder left.

A week ago it was up to 43km or the first bridge past Matheson. I would assume to the bridge at 44 or just below the double switch-back.
