WEATHER
0cm new snow overnight. Total snowpack heights in most areas is 260cm. Fernie has had quite warm weather all week so riding conditions are generally sun affected and firm but there are still plenty of untracked, windblown powder snow to be found in sheltered areas.
GROOMED
Morrissey: Hydraulic pressure alarm still giving us grief in the main snowcat so we used the back up little cat last night to groom the Morrissey, Doug Dean, and Summit Trails last night. Parts on on the way and anticipate having the Silver Surfer back up and running before next weekend. Both parking lots open.
Coal Creek: Open Sat/Sun weekly ONLY for trucks with decks due to construction and extremely limited parking. More info HERE. We anticipate repairs to be complete by Family Day Weekend.
Corbin: Groomed from the staging area to the McClatchie on Sunday. Active logging and hauling in progress 7 days a week out of the Barnes / Elliot area. The FSA and Canfor have worked to build a bypass trail on the shoulder of the road for the first 6km to allow both groups to operate - sledders MUST use the groomed trail on the shoulder of the road. It is illegal and very dangerous to snowmobile on the plowed road.
Hartley: Last groom January 12th.
Ram: Closed to large, impassable washout near km45. Cabin remains locked.
