Is this the Alexander area where you park just off the highway east of the Corbin road.

Here lol. It's actually a km or two before the Corbin turnoff heading west.
So Doug, that's how you kept youthful like the rest of us ole guys. We use to ride also prior to the groomed trail days down south too!! lol I remember wearing black garbage bags back in the early 80's going back into rain gauge or barnes on wet days. And you learned quickly how to ride 3' moguls quickly with 4" of suspension!!!
I totally agree ! They should be giving a refund on trail passes when parking lots are a gong show because of no maintenance . Then you hop on the connector trail that has never been groomed. What happened to the best club in the Koots?

Quick trip to Lethbridge for quad parts so the winch would be able to work the plow. Came home this morning.

Isn't that the truth.
We spent Saturday at Fernie. Two novices and an intermediate rider. The snow was good! Lots of it! I wish we could have seen it before the rain, but hey, maybe when I'm retired?
We rode the connector trail, and turned around part way. The person directing parking told us the trail was freshly groomed, so we thought there must have been another trail that we missed! Turns out the groomer missed the connector! The rest of the trail was acceptable. A passable access to the cabin and the terrain beyond. That's all we ask.
I'm not one to criticize any volunteer organization. I will say that the young lady selling trail passes may have felt some guilt, because she lowered the price to $20 per sled without my asking. The club holds some obligation to those who buy passes, and to their local sponsors. If they fail to meet expectations then tourism will suffer, their sponsors will become frustrated, and trail pass sales volume will decline. We weren't dissatisfied. We're very realistic with our expectations. We can't help because we don't live near. We're reliant on the local club to facilitate our fun. We'll return to buy more passes. We wish them success.
Please, if you aren't satisfied, try to be constructive, try to help, and offer what financial support you're able to. Volunteerism is waning, and we're going to miss these folks if they aren't encouraged.
