Wow we have tried to make our way through there with no luck. I guess we need to try harder or needs to be a good snow year.

Sounds like a really nice loop. Is there much for playing back that way?
Thanks for showing us around a bit Doug.
And for lending me the helmet for the day!

On big dumps we had a absolute blast at barns ranch, lots of jumps and play areas, last year when we did it, most of river was frozen over and it was pretty easy, but most times there is a few sh1t shows, and ussally a few wet feet, lots of story's and ussally doubles ordered at the bar after..
Cash creek, and Harvey can also be a real rush in good snow.. Did the winter camping for many years at cuts and wish we did it again, always was a blast in march

They had a 36 cm alert at the ski hill this morning. The Morrissey corridor got a little more than that. Some places were holding 60 cm and most were in the 40 cm+ range. It was another great day in the hills.....

It's getting better every dump. Some places are better than others (I probed 230 cm in one area and 200 cm in another). The Burnt areas still have hazards and I honestly don't know about the Notch.
I have had some great days and some dude in the cabin today said his best days were in November.................go figure.
I didn't worry about stumps today but I was in familiar areas and stumps are minimal where I normally ride. So, yes I would agree that it is very close to game on.

The areas we tracked out on Sunday were pretty lush today Luke.

I realy have to give a big thumbs up to to the FSA... The trails and pipeline were groomed and we had all fresh tracks for two days. It is a pleasure to be a club member this year. Lets give credit where cerdit is due. Thanks groomers!!!
Don’t rub it in Doug! Wish I wasn’t 3 hours away. Might have to try and get out mid next week before you track out all the snow!

Naw........I never even felt a hazard yesterday. Leeward sides of the trees or ridges were epic. Even the new Marten cut blocks were great according to talk in the staging area when it was all said and done.

City of Fernie staff cleared the Coal Creek road today but how/why do you only clean half the parking lot????? Unbelievable........

Yes the parking lot thing was a bit odd but it was cleared by time we got down. Had a great day today and ran out of gas at 3pm. Visibility overall was great.

Looking across at the burn...............
Pics look great Shaun. Makes me jealous. Are you riding on Sunday by chance? Trying to convince my Dad to go for the day.

Another great deep day of smashing pow. Hats off again to the grooming in Fernie this year! 100% better than last year.
