Didn't get anything from that storm but a couple cm's. Praying for snow!

There is now 8" at the new cabin site and that is at 5890'……….not enough for this dude!

It rained pretty much all night (Saturday, Nov. 17th) in Elkford and I can't see the rocks so I don't know where the freezing line was………...

We Need Snow. WTF is it late this year or what!!!!

Looks about the same as last year according to the snow pillow data. This is from the station on Morrisey Ridge.

Hey everyone just seeing if the rolling hills or the Notch have enough snow for a ride this weekend! It would save a trip to Revelstoke as we are from the Lethbridge area. Any info would be much appreciated!

was out for a ride sunday
staged at the yellow gates on the corbin road and road into the new cabin
was good for a first ride a couple feet in the rolling hills
didnt go to the wranglers cabin or the notch but a group we met was going there someone told them snow was good there but no conformation
if you want lots of powder not going to find it there for a while

I guess thats whats to be expected this early. Oh well little extra drive out to Revelstoke for whats looking like some decent snow. Thanks for the update.

Took a little ride from the Tin Shack down the pipeline today. Not much snow. Only went to where the logging road is plowed out, did not figure it paid to go to wranglers or the notch. If you are looking to knock the dust off the sled and have nothing better to do it was not to bad but be on the look out for rocks and stumps. I would say save the trip for when conditions improve.

Ya we actually ended up heading to Golden and had a blast. It was socked in pretty good so visibility was next to none but the snow was well worth it!

I am happy and sad to report that fernie is getting pounded with snow good 7-8" in the last 12 hrs. I'm sad cause I might not be able to enjoy any of this year. Just found out I might have a engine in need of serious repairs with no money to do so.
So, I thought I would let you guys know that the fernie pow is finally starting to show up.

I'll be a newbie to Fernie Dec 26-Jan 1. What should i expect? I heard its a lower elevation? More wide open areas?
