Fernie conditions

[ferniesnow]

Rode there today. Decent snow can be found but still lots of barely hidden stumps in the open areas. Trail out was brutal though. More people than usual in the area.

Yes, the big burn area behind the cabin is not a pleasant place. As the snow settles and gets packed the stumps will be more visible and closer to the surface. One has to ride the trees where there was no fire and even then the occasional broken tree gets you between the skis.

The traffic is huge and parking is at a premium.

It's a nice way to meet people, get out for a ride and promote a great sport.

Tree riding and secret stashes are still great. The more open areas and the ones you can see from the trail are pretty packed. Another good dump would be sweet.

No snow in the forecast until Saturday and we all know what can happen that far away……...

Good choice.

The trail may be a little rough as the SnowCat is in for mechanical repairs. Last groom was Monday night through to the Wrangler's cabin.

That's a sweet offer Brad. Don't hear from you for months and then there you are offering to help. Nice.

I don't know how long we will be down for but I should find something out tonight.

Had a great bluebird day with two other Snow and Mud members! Did lots of exploring and found lots of fresh untouched snow! Trail was still in great shape still.

The snow is great right now, still soft but set up and the Avalanche Forecast[FONT=arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif]( [/FONT]http://www.avalanche.ca/cac/bulletins/latest/south-rockies ) Is looking good.

Still lots of riding to be had.

sounds good Doug. I'm off to do some plowing today finally. Not real heavy snow but she's blowing and drifting now. Above zero forecast for next week...

The SnowCat is up and running. Groomed Marten Wednesday night as a test run and a full groom will be done tonight.

The trail is still in great condition even without the groomer since monday.

Good choice.
