Fernie Winter 2016-2017

[ferniesnow]

Great news! With the recent winter storms that rocked Fernie over the weekend the FSA will be commencing grooming up Morrissey next week (weather dependant). As a result of the expected increase in congestion at the staging area, we have negotiated access from private land owners for an additional parking lot at the old Morrissey town site which can accommodate large trucks and trailers (see map). Please help us maintain this new working relationship with the private landowners by cleaning up all garbage and avoiding use of this area when muddy etc. Please note that the Coal Creek staging area extending through to the Corbin tin shack/yellow gates (Coal Creek Pass, Martin, Matheson, Morrissey Ridge, Leech Ridge areas) will remain temporarily closed due to logging activities until approximately February. 2017.

Next week Trevor with regards to the grooming. Don't know when the new parking lot will be ready as there wasn't a time line.

Ripped down for the day with Shane, saw Doug on the highway headed in the wrong direction??

Still lots of stumps and rocks and **** out there so be careful, we saw a few mangled sleds and heard a fella killed his new 850 too :/

Nearly a foot on the hood of the truck when we got back down.

Hahahaha.....................I wasn't anywhere yesterday but with kids/grandkids coming for Christmas, gramma has put her foot down and kept me too darn busy. No time for riding yet! A trip east today for presents and food stuffs and one more appointment before Christmas and then it will be game on.

Hmmm feel like we should pushed on a little further. We found deep snow but it didn't come without having to worry about stumps.

 

[BRP QSC]

Stumps are definitely fun killers

Do not got behind the new cabin in the burn area, it's a stump fest and looks awful. Everywhere else has been producing!

Yes I would agree with this! We did not go there yesterday just knowing how much snow that area needs to get filled in. With 18 inches of snow in staging area and super cold temps I sure hope the club can get on the grooming to get a nice trail set up.

Yup we avoided that area as we knew it'd be popular, but I don't think the spots we found were much better.

Still, it' looking be a good season!
