Fernie Snow Conditions 2017 - 2018

[Old-Soul]

Any snow worth braving the cold this weekend?

Ferniesnow is out right now but I can tell you that Sparwood has incredible winds and the temps are dropping but it is snowing sideways.

There is lots of snow Graham. Quite cold today and colder tomorrow. All my honey holes were loaded today and the snow was awesome. I actually probed 185-210 cm in the trees todays. We didn't even get to all of my secret stashes.

That's what we like to hear.

For the win!

Some years we have ridden Remembrance Day. Other years it has been later. It was good for a road ride after the last storm but.............imo that was something for the dealers to relish in.

They are forecasting 7 days in a row of snow beginning on Monday. Might be the start. Last year it was -28C on the 17th of December and riding got exciting on the 23rd. Always hard to say, one year to the next.

Why is everyone posting in last seasons thread? Lol

I'm guessing it is because there wasn't a 2018-2019 thread started. Does it really matter?

son came out from Calgary on Friday and the roads were good.

Can you still unload at the tin shed on the corbin mine road to ride the pipeline or is there active logging going on in the area? We used to do that but its been a few years since ive been down that way. Thanks for any information.

The trail mentioned in the press release was from the Corbin town site. I would assume the Tin Shacks are a go but maybe some who was actually there could chime in with real life info.

It was a tough day yesterday. A "run out of talent stuck" near the end of the day and having to roll the beast over by myself...............but I gotter done!!

You can still unload at the tin shed and ride the pipeline or jump over to the coal creek road.

Hahaha...............I like to call it the way it is. Stuck doesn't bother me as I know where my talent level is and why it is at that level.

The boys from east-central Alberta had a great time. The 30+ cm was great and we did lots of zones. A little on the chilly side but all in all, a great time.
