Came back from Fernie area yesterday - at my place on Koocanusa it was 6c and a mix of sun and cloud on Saturday - heard the sounds of guys dirt biking over at Grasmere/Dorr Road.
On the way home the temps went up and down. Had freezing rain starting up the 22 and road was pure ice. A few miles up the temperature dropped (about where the compressor station is) and it was very cold from there home.
Today we are back into a chinook - strong winds and the truck said it was 10c in my driveway just north of Okotoks...strange twist.

Does anyone have any pics of Cateract lately? Just wondering if there is snow at all, I'd like to get my machine out sometime before a sled trip to Fernie later this month. Don't feel like getting up at 4 in the morning to drive out there if there isn't any snow though! Thanks in advance guys!

Well that's a little dramatic... You gonna be alright muffin?

 

[neddacsac]

... I think so

 

[knee deep in it]

we are headed to Cataract for a few hours tomorrow. The plan is to burn gas. It doesn't matter if we don't get a km from the staging area.

I will take a few pics

 

[DYSLEXIC]

Let me know when your taking a crack at it....I'd like to make the run.

 

[knee deep in it]

we aren't going over the pass, just a trail ride. Any reason to burn gas.

First ride of the year, just making sure everything is working.
