Can you still access the pipeline from the tin shack this year. Is there enough snow left on the pipeline.

Lots of vehicle traffic up that way. I'm thinking it has to do with the expansion project.
I'm not sure I'd make the journey up with a trailer, but deck and radio might be worth a try.
Corbin would be the better bet I'm thinking.
From the parking lot to barnes/Elliot is getting rough, but you could easily park a truck there and go.
Snow from there west is still pretty decent.

Yeah was skinny parked at the far end of the road. Snow was thin and rock hard in most areas. More snow to the west but rock hard yesterday

Coal Creek - CLOSED
Dirt from staging area up 2-3km. Please note that the new lower trail built around the flood washout mid-winter was constructed primarily by snow / snow bridges. With the spring melt, there are now sections of this new trail that are missing and trail is impassable by sled. It is not possible to drive beyond the staging area in a regular vehicle to reach the snowline. Our summer work list includes installing culverts and resurfacing the entire new trail for year round access. Please get in touch if you are interested in donating materials, equipment or man hour time one the ground to help us get this work done.Saying that, Morrissey is useable but for trucks and decks only with difficult turn around at 3 km. The parking at the bottom is done.

3 miles of dirt before snow at corbin
Yeah saw that on the news. worried about the rainfall though, they said Coal Creek is getting pretty full and have closed it due to more erosion. The City of Fernie already stood up their EOC for flood watch, wondering if we are going to lose more roads in the area to flooding this spring.

when the coal creek road got repaired from the rain event in November every one said that it wasn't going to last. When I saw it for the first time I thought the same. Last friday they shut the coal creek road down and since then we got slammed with rain. Morrissey will be kept up as that's the main road for the pipeline work for the next 2 years.Yeah saw that on the news. worried about the rainfall though, they said Coal Creek is getting pretty full and have closed it due to more erosion.

I gotta get back out there this season for a ride. Miss it from riding when i lived in Cranbrook in 2019-2020
Yeah, she was busy around Corbin yesterday. They got a lot of pipe staged down there. PS. Corbin road is brutal, partly washed out and lots of big ruts within the first 10 -15 kmsCabin is quiet but it's total chaos around it with the pipeline work
