Crowsnest pass

[~Rowdy~]

Anyone planning on heading to Fernie or past be prepared for some nasty roads later. I'm stuck outside Fernie for my third accident on my way to Castlegar.

Slushy sections but the road is really wet, if the temp drops its going to be a nightmare

The roads are totally fine. Just slushy sections. I haven't hit ice yet. Not sure what's up with the accidents

People driving to fast when the slush grabs them and pulls them into the other lane. Slow down and arrive alive..

When I do eventually get moving Id rather get there safe than in a hurry.

Drove home from riding in fernie last night. Roads were brutal from fernie to pass. Rough packed ice and snow. Will likely be same tonight once temp drops. But snow is sooooo good!!!!!

I hope everyone slows down, I 'm headed to Creston on Boxing Day so here's hoping that everyone slows down and doesn't make it really icy.

Drive from cranbrook to creston was ok. Couple hairy spots but clear roads and no accidents so far. Stopped for a bite then back at er. Hoping the pass is ok. Should be alright just slow and steady for me.

Accident outside of Fernie was semi vs SUV. Looked nasty

Light snow all day most likely caused the accidents earlier but it's pretty much clear now. The temp is dropping a bit but the highway is fine.

That's really too bad for the people that are trading paint. Hoping all of them are okay, vehicles can be replaced. Thanks for the update, I'm chomping at the bit to head down there.

Well the drive was ok over salmo creston pass but the after turning off to castlegar was a fuggin nightmare.

Almost pooped my pants coming around a corner and having a family of deer bound outta the ditch. Most of the drive was like this

Have a good trip!

Last winter we were pushing snow with the front bumper of the truck going over the Bombi at 12am. The next day was awesome!

 

[~Rowdy~]

Thanks Danny I will! I'm pumped to ride. Anyone else coming out this way drive safe!!!
