Re: Snow in Kimberley

How close to the town of Fernie can you ride?
Some family are planning a ski trip around Christmas, and I was going to bring a couple of sleds down.

I have never been down that way, and just curious if it's worth bringing the sleds down?

Thanks!

Re: Snow in Kimberley

Also, what kind of riding is there around Fernie? Wide open bowls, tree riding, etc?
I have only been to Revy and Valemount.

Re: Snow in Kimberley

I'm loaded and ready to go for next weekend theres lots of riding areas down in that area, definitely worth bringing your sleds. I haven't road around Fernie in 7 or 8 years but there is lots not too far from town.

Re: Snow in Kimberley

We were up at the grey cr pass today. 1~1.3m . A very nice consolidated snowpack. A couple of melt/freeze layers but seemed to be bonding well. Looking pretty dam good for this time of year. 20cm new made riding one solid face shot.

Re: Snow in Kimberley

We went skiing up the St Marys valley yesterday as well. It was a pow day. Still a bit thin to be running sleds in the fields, too many stumps for this guy.

Shaping up real nice.

Re: Snow in Kimberley

Any new snow in the forecast I'm loaded and ready for next weekend.
I would even drive to Fernie if need be.
