Do the areas around smithers usually get decent snow? How can shames mountain by terrace average over 40ft of snow a year and hudson bay only get like 10ft when they're pretty much the same latitude? I know being closer to the ocean plays a part but I wouldn't think that much as they're pretty...

Holy hell your profile says saskatchewan! You gappers and albertans sure put the miles on to ride haha!!! From what i've seen and heard conditions are all time $hit everywhere. This winter is a bust big time and those BS high pressure ridges off the coast aren't letting any moisture by for the...

Thanks for the replies guys, I kept hearing it was on the ups but after some research it definitely looks like a one horse town. Might have to look into the Terrace and Kitimat area. Theres a massive gold mine thats supposed to be well on its way to fruition up there so hopefully thats a future...

Ha, yeah I re-read my post and it did sound a bit dickish. I meant no offence to albertans but tourists in general and unless you live in a place like Fernie you wouldn't understand. You also can't compare the amount of people visiting Fernie with that of Mackenzie. There's just about 400...

Damnit, what is it with crackheads and drugged out retards wrecking all these could be amazing northern communities??? I'm a journeyman welder with heavy duty/millwright hours and I currently work for one of the coal mines down in the kootenays. Fernie is ridiculously expensive these days and...

Hey guys and girls like the title says i'm thinking about moving up to Mackenzie from Fernie. Just kinda looking to cement an answer as some people i've talked to say it's an awesome little town that an outdoor enthusiast like me would really enjoy. Some have said things not so pleasant too...

damnit boys I think I jinxed it with that last post, we got a pile of freezing rain early this morning and theres about a 3/16 inch of crust on the snow. Some buds went up the ski hill today and they said it went pretty far up too. I'm getting pretty sick of this fernie weather, the last couple...

conditions were awesome today, over the bumper all day with a few face shots thrown in!!! Big dump coming tonight and tomorrow during the day so it looks like the koots are finally good to go!!

'14 pro rmk, ripper of a deal so I couldn't pass it up. PS: is it my computer or is typing on this website a pain in the a$$???

We got a few inches the last couple nights but its pretty warm today and you still have a solid chance of smacking something solid up top. This years snow pack is the worst I've ever seen for this time of year, we're probly behind at least 5ft and I just bought a new sled so I'm losing my mind!!!
