The usual. Coal Creek, around the summit and down to the Blueberry, back up to the Wrangler's via the McEvoy, through the Doug Dean trail to the Rolling Hills cabin and back down Coal Creek to town. On alternating nights, Matheson and Martin will also be done. Hartley Pass will be done on an "as needed basis".

We should be starting soon. I will check out the snow depths today and see if there is enough for the packing runs, filling in the creeks, and the setting of the trails.

Watch that highway today. Just got back from a brutal white knuckle drive to Sparwood and back. Nothing worse than an empty pickup on an icey road.

Hey man, Studded Nokian's work wonders. Elkford to Coal Creek was pretty icy but I didn't notice any slippage. The ditches were busy.

Ya, throwing some weight in the back would have helped too. I really should have taken the car! No....I really should have stayed at home!

why don't you wait a week and go the 14th. If the cold front moves its holding a band of snow right behind it and if the front moves soon it will hit us for sure but if it hangs on it will go north. the part that looks like a S will miss us into northern BC and down to Vale/mcbride area. if the front doesn't move by the weekend then only the rear blob at the 30 will hit revy or Fernie depending on the low pressure

Im betting that he front moves ad Fernie gets a dump possibly tues-thurs area and 30-60cms. Should know by Sat

Its a wait and see weekend

That's when we plan on swinging down. More snow? I can dig that!

 

[BRP QSC]

here is what most look at. and that's a ugly high pressure system for sure. But the snow is just outside the left side waiting for us

[ferniesnow]

The forecast I see has it being -31 Friday evening and -29 Sat night........just a tad cold for this dude.
