Mountain Mania 5 "the official announcement"

[higher n you]

where in fernie???

already

In red deer

 

[Trashy]

dont go to cochrane I think that would be longer,,

only way really is acroos deerfoot I guess,, construction is done and its a friday so it should only take bout 40minutes (assuming no accidents) from begining of city to start of Okotoks

busy part of deerfoot will only be from memorial to 22x rest should be decent..... ya then okotoks and pic ur way I go strait some go threw black diamond my way is 10 min quicker for sure lol

from okotoks you should land in fenie in 2.5 hours

I agree with this!!!

My only exception, is I go past the turn off to Okotoks(keep going south) for about 10 mins. When you see the turn for Aldersyde swing west just past the PetroCan A&W. Follow that down the back side of Okotoks. Come to your first stop sign(not lights) go South again through Longview.

Made it to Fernie today 4 hours driving time from Sundre to Fernie, stopped at Ian Tysons coffee shop then some Longview jerky to stops worth taking.

SBR and Summit Ric, we will be right behind you, with five sleds, being pulled by an older Ford with a new $2000 turbo. We should make it........... Kyle is writing DIPLOMA exams as well, as per TylerG, as well..... crap.
Education again puts a wrench in the gearbox.
Is the best route through Calgary via Deerfoot, and turn at Okotoks? With a 2:00 pm departure that would be a Calgary Friday Rush Hour arrival.
What about Stoney Trail bypass to Cochrane, and south from there. Got any advice, (the good kind) ?

I personally go Highway 2 to the south end of Nanton, turn off onto 533 over to 22, down to 3..... smaller hills that way, deerfoot is the only real hang up then too.

I know where Maxwell has hidden his sled...seems there are Peeps who don't believe it's stock and would like to tear it apart...

" The main portion of the storm will arrive in the southwest interior Friday afternoon and spread north and eastwards into the central interior and southeastern BC Friday evening and into Saturday. This may produce areas of heavy snow with 20 to 30 cm for the southeastern (Fernie ! ) areas and 10 to 15 cm for the southwestern regions. Mountain passes could see even more significant amounts. " This is gonna be fun, should we bring the chains ?Bring it on, you wanted snow, you got it !
