Sounds like getting to the Holy Grail is like going through the Pearly gates in Fernie...cross your fingers and hope something doesn’t happen while your in there.

Every year for 10 years people have been making posts telling others to keep quiet about this place. It's not a secret. There is a snow and mud thread about conditions every year. Grail, blue, horseshoe are mentioned often enough. The Finn parking lot overflows to the Highway on weekends when conditions are good. The glacier hotel parking lot fills up on bluebird/low Avalanche risk days all with riders heading into coulees and north blue. We're all going to be fine.

We met a group yesterday on the trail going into salmon. They were towing a sled out because someone lost a key. Said they were searching for it for two hours. We found the key today on our way up the trail. Ski doo 850. If it was you we met we would love to give you your key back.



Condition update: 3-5 ft+ everywhere you looked. We went back to Heaven and were one of the only groups that made it. Unreal day. Trail tomorrow would be a nightmare for anyone trying to come in. We’ll be going somewhere else.

Yah that endurance test can make the trail into Salmon look like a groomed ride up to Allen.

Always have a spare key tucked away in the bottom of the back pack. Pretty cheap insurance for a lost/broken key.

I’m surprised nobody has claimed this key yet. For sure I thought at least one guy would be on this forum.

For our group the guys with Doo’s all have spare keys... and they had them programmed so they are all on the same setting. Aka any one of our groups keys will work on their sleds. You just never know.
