The Fernie side has the Coal Creek road plowed and they are logging. So the only feasible access is to go to Morrissey. Last year riders went in via the tin shack and thought they were parking out of harms way only to come back and find their trucks blocked with logs. It isn't worth it to make the loggers angry.

Soooooo...bring your chainsaw and a couple cant hooks then?

That's what I figured. Was hoping to avoid driving to Morrisey if possible, but if that's what I have to do then that's what I'll do.

Thanks

Looking for an update on access to wrangler from Corbin area. Is the road up the Martin creek drainage plowed out still for logging? I think it's occasionally groomed form the Coal Creek side, just wondering now that Corbin and Fernie clubs have merged whether this grooming is now extended down to Corbin. What about the pipeline to Corbin, groomed now?


For what it's worth, I'm a Fernie club member, so not trying to cut-out trail fees. We're coming from Bellevue so just looking to reduce drive time.

Early in the season I saw a post on the FSA Facebook page that they would be grooming the pipeline this year. Not sure how frequently and what kind of shape it's currently in though.

Definitely not plowed but passable....don't think I would hit it without recent fresh.

Any update on trail conditions from Corbin?


On our way out and wondering if we should unload there or just drive to Fernie.

Cheers

Our District Manager for BRP was in Corbin this past week. He said the trails were baby butt smooth as Ferniesnow would put it. Good snow in Heartbreak he said.

The main trail at Corbin was in good shape on Saturday but as always trail up to limestone is rough, only seen two sleds all day only 5 trucks in parking lot 3 of which from our group, lots of people parked at pipeline guessing people did not want to pay the $25 trail fee.

Limestone is also one of my favourite places to ride the snow was good bumper deep mostly and some windblown areas and deeper snow in the trees we played safe so didn’t get to many big pulls because of the avy conditions, was a good day tho
