Fernie Snow Conditions 2017 - 2018

ferniesnow · Feb 18, 2018

We have all been there done that! It can always be comical if one looks at it in a positive note. Stuck twice within 30' and maybe this dude is thinking a 165 would be the ticket when the snow is 3m deep and uphill with 30-40 of fresh sitting on top......

This dude is thinking we should discuss your backcountry navigating skills after yesterday...

Besides...I didn't get stuck...I was letting my belt cool off...

I got you down and back didn't I? A few extra turns in the deep over the bumper pow wasn't a real world problem was it?

I guess you might be right. Haha..thanks again for the tour doug. Goes to show how much is out there that hasn't been touched this year

And pretty much all of what we rode was within 2-3 km of the cabin. I'm sure some of that pow hadn't been touched this year. It was great riding with you once again. Enjoy Disney with the family.

She was deep today, darn frosty after getting a sweat on but the snow is great!

What are current conditions like (besides fawking cold)? Do you need to hunt for untracked?

Yes, you have to hunt and really know the secret spots. It definitely needs a reload.

This is from yesterday, Thursday, February 23, 2018. As posted above the open spots are pretty rode out but the secret spots are sweet.

Looks like good snow. Pretty standard for you hey Ferniesnow!
Planning my next trip right now actually!

Road Coal Creek today. At least the trail is in super shape. FSA is really doing a bang up job this year.

Sure could use a reload though, couldn't find a single meadow that wasn't tracked up. Even the open slopes have been all used up.

the reload is coming this week as per my neighbor who hates winter.

Road today. Deep! Some consolidated wind slabs, mostly wicked powder with some traction below.
The only tracks were ours!

Did Fernie and area get any of this champagne pow we got here Calgary? 20-30cms so far and still falling.
We are heading out on Sunday regardless sooo.....brap

LUCKY 7 · Mar 2, 2018

Sparwood got 4-6" overnight and Fernie got maybe 1 inch. but now it snowing like crazy again in Sparwood. I'm going out in the morning so will update when I get home

FernieHawk · Mar 3, 2018

Almost 50cm at Fernie Alpine resort...heading out right now after an hour of snow blowing.

AxysAssault · Mar 3, 2018

Should be a decent ride tomorrow I guess....

Flyer · Mar 4, 2018

Rode from Morrisey on Saturday and Corbin on Sunday. Thanks Fernie club for all that you do. No complaints on trails, parking, or fees. Snow was all that was needed for a couple novices. Found enough fresh to play, practice, and improve our skills in.

LBZ · Mar 4, 2018

Did the snow get heavy out there with the warm weather or is still a little fluffy? Got heavy up the valley but not sure how high the warm temps went.
