Fernie Snow Conditions 2017 - 2018

[ferniesnow]

Heard the road was $hit though and Morrissey was a better recommendation. That and the active logging on coal might make it dicey.

Logging is finished on Coal Creek.

The fernie snowmobile ass. is hosting a family ride on Saturday the 30th. We will be leaving the Coal Creek staging area at 10am and there is a free lunch at the rolling hills cabin at noon. All is welcome. It is called the Bob Arnott memorial family ride. Hope to see lots of people of all ages. Any questions please PM me.

So close to town yet..

That happened to us last year in sicamous. Accident shut down the highway 2 kms from town. Sat on the road for 5 hours, only to get to town eventually and find out the beer stores closed 10 mins early. mother effers.

At least the trucker channel is comical. They really hate sledders. Haha.

The hate between truckers is even better entertainment.

Morrissey is a lot closer for you.

Yes but extra 15 min don't matter if coal creek had less traffic or better riding area

Parking is worse and the riding area is the same. Just a different access point.

Where is the staging at down the coal creek road? We're coming Tuesday for a couple days and would probably ride from that side on the day we travel and is that road radio controlled?

Right beside the rifle range (3-4 km from the last house). Logging is finished, therefore, no more radios on Coal Creek road.

Turn left at the last set of lights. Go to a 4-way stop and go straight and cross the railroad tracks and turn right. Then the second left turn onto Coal creek road about 2 blocks) and follow that for 4-5 km.
