Fernie Season 2021/2022

[Old-Soul]

Little bit of precip in the forecast...will it amount to anything?

 

[LUCKY 7]

then the cold snap arrives

 

[edge rmk700]

Hopefully a good amount of snow riding on Tuesday and Wednesday hopefully not to cold . First time to Fernie and a cold snap happens

Drove through yesterday and there wasn't much on the ground, maybe 1" in town. Didn't look like the top of the hill had got much. Ski hill says 7 cm.

Everything I've seen down there watching weather forecasts and seeing how little discussion there is on the conditions on social media is they are in their 2nd snow drought year in a row and this year will be another right off

Sucks for businesses that rely on the snow and the tourists but I hope it puts a big dent in RCR's operations.

 

[LUCKY 7]

Haven't really hard a big reload in over a month

Yep hotels, gas stations and the restaurant s gotta be hurting. I keep getting emails from the Fernie Fox hotel wondering when I am coming back? Hopefully next year they get a better start to the season.

Last week ski hill conditions were horrendous and sledding was just ok

 

[LUCKY 7]

Buddy of mine said this past weekend all the staging area's were plugged solid.

 

[catrutt]

We went last wed , had to search for a foot of fresh . The first part of the trail was poor at best because of bridge repair but you could fly down the pipeline it was so smooth and hard. Very low snow levels on the left side of the notch.

 

[sledhead800]

Me and my buddy rode the pipeline towards the notch on Tuesday, tin shack was very tin with snow but towards the notch in some areas in the trees wasn’t the best but it wasn’t terrible. Day riding always better then a work day tho lol!!!!

It was !!!! -26 when we staged, later on the afternoon it wasn’t so bad and we stop at cabins for a nice warm up too!!!

 

[edge rmk700]

Was there on Tuesday and Wednesday it was very cold definitely needs a reload of snow trail up is good but everything else pounded out . Not worth the trip

So what is the best spot that is within a 45 minutes of Fernie to ride with some elevation?
7,000'ish to let the turbos work?

 

[snochuk]

Coal creek does not sound like the place according to my cousin or is it the place to go???

Randy you made a tactical error. Probably the worst conditions in 20 years there. Not going to find a lot to challenge you at The Rolling Hills. Maybe Corbin?
