I have drove by there a few times on the way to Fernie... How is the riding at Corbin compared to Golden or Fernie? Do they have as much snow?

That sounds good. We may go there on the first weekend of December. I checked out the Inn On The Border website and it looks like they have a good amount of snow. Have you rode into Corbin from the Inn On The Border?

I know there is lots of snow....if you are interested check out the Castlemountain resort web site. That is just on the other side of Corbin...they have had huge snow. was there last week. I am heading out Friday or saturday...I think the forecast is for a warm up on the weather as well....

I am heading down that way this weekend (Dec 9), wife has a family obligation there. However I might take my sleds and go for a rip, way more fun anyway. Haven't rode Corbin in years, but it's the only place I know, is the trail still really rough going in from the old town sight (the Mine). I would like to take my dad with me for a trail ride, just don't think he would like the rough stuff, are there any groomed trails it the crowsnest area that he would enjoy? Anything would help........... Thanks in advance!

Crowsnest info

Check out



and click Snowmobile Conditions. They usually have updates for the general areas, and post recent pics.

I rode there last weekend (1st time). Rode the logging roads from the town site and put on 100kms. We couldn't find the right trail into Harvy pass but had fun trying. There was lots of snow on the roads (12-18" of fresh pow). About 2-3ft on the road with good base (even the Apex never trenched to gravel).

Here is a pic 1/2 to Harvy.
