Fernie Winter 2016-2017

[Crude]

Does anyone know the frequency the Logging trucks use?
thinking it might be nice having it put into one of my Radios for this winter.
And Yes I know how to run Foresty roads. Would be pretty Jammy in just a pickup
with two snowbikes in the back.

Thanks.
Not scared of Logging Trucks. As long as I know where they are.

That should be RR22 if I'm not mistaken.

This map says RR2..............but it seems some of the logging companies have been less than eager to comply with the new rules, so who really knows.

You are probably correct again! My eyes and brain aren't like they used to be. The Golden years are rapidly taking their toll.

You are much better when you are out sledding. From what I see your golden years seem to recede when you are out playing.

I hear ya. My eyes are the biggest reason I'm retiring in two months. Rapidly getting night blind.

There are supposed to be signs at the beginning of the FSR as to what channel to use. That map is sure a poor excuse for information. Must have been developed by a governmental agency.

 

[Turts]

That map was only to be used for planning purposes only.
Every FSR I've come across has a sign at the bottom with instructions and radio channel.
The signs used to list the frequency but it only has the RR # now.
So far, the truckers have been very helpful IF you have a radio and appear to be trying.
One thing they mentioned was to be very sure to park
OFF the road.

Ha, ha! Good catch! Must be because of all the "crabby" people there!

Just in case anyone needs the channels. This list has been accurate so far.i always always do a radio check before heading up. If I don't get a response than I wait and listen for chatter or wait for a truck to drive by and dbl check with them.

snowed a foot since last night

The Fernie ski hill is reporting 24 cm in the last 24 hours. I have no idea where the snow line is for staging.

Elkford ski hill getting any snow yet?

I have 5-6" in my yard. I live at 4300' and I really don't think there is much more at the top of the ski hill. Every little bit helps, right!
