Rode up to Wranglers cabin yesterday, kudo's to the Fernie snowmobile club for the excellent job on grooming the trails. It was like a winter wonderland compared to the Alberta side, but still low snow depth for this time of year. It was quite warm yesterday and raining at the lower elevations, with light snow up top. We went down the Morrisey road as well to the staging area. It was slushy pretty much from the Cat ski gates to the parking lot which had a lot of water laying around. Kind of doubting if the Cat Ski is even running that they are dropping the blade at all due to the low snow conditions and slush. The trail up from Fernie seems to be holding together better than Morrisey. The thing to be aware of now is the ice that formed last night with the cooler temperatures and sitting just below the inch or two of snow that dropped today at the lower elevations. Watch the throttle and brakes at the lower elevations, or you'll be following in our tracks which ended with a trip to the hospital in Blairmore today.
Just got home 10mins ago from 4 days riding in Fernie. Day 1 we left from Morrisey and it was not too bad, little rough and slushy when we got back to the truck. The last 3 days we rode from the gun range (Coal Creek Rd) the trail up to the rolling hills is like a highway. Thanks Fernie Snowmobile club. We rode the rolling hills mostly and down to the cabin. The rolling hills were great riding, from one hill all trcked up to another that had no fresh tracks. We were going up to the notch but didn`t go all the waybdue to lack of fuel. But is was really rough also. Once again thanks to the Fernie Snowmobile club for the groomed super highway and the warm-up shelter to the great trails. Our new destination for sledding is now Fernie instead of the CNP:d
How much further is Coal Creek than say the Yellow Gates?
About 40 minutes from the Coal Mountain Operations turn-off.
