Official 2015/2016 Fernie conditions

[ferniesnow]

Another awesome day of wind lips, untracked meadows, and trees...............

 

[PEAK SEEKER]

This is sad to see! We rode last Friday/Saturday but it was all rained out! So between my sled running like garbage, and my old man hurting himself we decided to drive home Sunday. Apparently we made a mistake!!

The heavy/wet snow definitely helped for some adventuring though!

 

[ferniesnow]

Another exciting day. New area to me and lots of untracked in the trees. Snow was sticky in the afternoon and there was new snow/rain. Didn't pay attention to the freezing level but we rode in snow flakes for most of the day. Not any exciting pictures as we were too busy with riding and stucks. A little steeper today with some excitement and not just the boring, plain Jane tree riding.

Hey...I now that spot, i recognize that tree on the left...

First of all, it is "know"!

Secondly, you just might be the one who stripped the bark off the westerly side or downward side of that tree......:d

It's raining in town right now.

Looks like 4 or 5 cm on the Griz cam at the ski hill.

One of the two ski hill weather stations is not reporting and the other one is not up to date. Scroll to the bottom of the data for the latest temperatures

It started snowing this morning at the Matheson corner. Snowed all day up top and there is probably an accumulation of wet heavy snow 30 cm deep. Some wind blown pockets along the power line were easily 60 cm. It will be sweet tomorrow. BBQ'd home made deer/pork sausages washed down with a slosh or two of ale for lunch for this group from Speedy Creek and area......

That's good to hear (here)

 

[Vertical-Extreme]

Anyone riding solo tomorrow? Buddies are all being panzies or gone to revy

 

[ferniesnow]

I noticed FAR reported 10 cm for the last 24 hours. There is at least 30 cm (might be accumulated from the last two days) of fresh on the leeward side of "Snow Ghost Ridge" and in some places it will be deeper. Along the ridge it should be blower conditions this morning.

Another local story that I can't find the history of, is this name carved on a litchen laden dead tree. I found it when I was marking out the Family Friendly trail in between the Wrangler's Cabin and the Rolling Hills cabin. It has become known as the "Ole Meadows" in some circles.

Lol, that's funny I was with Ole when he carved that tree.

I noticed small slabs running in the trees on Thursday. Mostly on south and west facing aspects.

A fresh 40 cm fell last night, should be deep!
