also bring your shovel, probe and peeps! It is deep and the trail is not groomed because we can't groom mush. At the summit it is nice spring riding and around 1:00 pm the snow is like glue......

You could still park in the parking lot with a 4 place at the yellow gates a week ago, still awesome snow up top, lots of riding left. Doug it looks like I missed you by a day last weekend. We rode the hills and over to wranglers on friday. on our little adventure last time we were only about 500m from the trail when we turned around on the way back through, and we drove by so many nice play areas we could not see that day....stupid bad visability

Thanks Ferniesnow for the update.
Have a 2 place enclosed trailer, not a deck. Going to be in Fernie on Saturday around noon and was hoping to go for a ride. Never rode Fernie before so I guess I might have to wait until next year.

Oh ya' that's the way it goes. Close but no cigar and if one gets into a creek or gulley so that you get turned around it can be a long night.
That road in from the yellow gates should be a lot of dirt now. You could get a trailer to the bridge on Coal Creek but there will be some dirt and road to ride before one gets to the snow line. Particularly with a trailer.

I went for a ride on Sunday May 1st.
We parked at the tin shack and rode the pipeline all the way back to the Notch.
I have never been down that way and rode the pipeline in such smooth condition,most of the ride was at high speed with a couple of miles of rough as he!! trail near the shack.
Snow was hard in the morning but as it warmed up the snow softened and we had a great time.
There are lots of creeks opening up on the pipeline so I guess riding in on the pipeline may come to an end this week.
