We were out in Elkford today and it was untracked. Nothing exciting but the snow was heavy and wet. Rained to 7000' with snow above that.
Should have a short video up tomorrow............

Video is up and running. It is spring snow; usually frozen slush in the morning warming up to slushy slush as the sun gets higher in the sky.
We had a great day and lunch cooked on TheThing was lemon garlic scallops with honey mustard chicken wings. Those two tier muff-pots from the SledShed in Revy are awesome!

sounds good doug.
We rode up by the 2 cabins from coal creek road yesterday, it was awesome, way more snow up there than anticipated. We had to unload at km 39 marker where the big avalanche came down to the valley bottom. You would need a big lifted truck to get thru that to the other side. Has anyone gone in from the Corbin end lately? Just wondering how far you would have to go up the rd to unload?

This system from the south has to be dumping big down there today I would think? No?

Hey guys, looking for an update on conditions out in that area. Thinking we'd stay in fernie Friday and Saturday night next weekend May 3,4. Not opposed to going either directions from fernie. Only problem is ill be riding a snowbike and struggle on the dirt/gravel, so if possible to be able to unload at or close to snow level would be great. Rolling hills, limestone, little sand, coal creek?
Thanks.

More or less over for the season. Golf, boat or bike now.

Not true, if you have a sled deck there's tons of accessible riding yet

Yeah I agree. Weather has not been that warm yet to really start the big melt.
I'm in BC this weekend and it looks like snow up top from yesterdays weather...however I fractured my right wrist sledding last weekend so for me no sledding, golfing, boating or biking...can't even work on a couple of projects at the cabin!
Just have to kick back and relax...
