Snow Report: Feb 27th/11

Sorry no pics from the guys' ride today but they finally made it to Alexander. Said there was 4 inches of fresh snow between 5000-6000ft. Above that it was wind blown and set up or as Lou said - "hero snow" up top and they ride Alexander all the time. Cranbrook had their poker run this past weekend and the boys said they went into the backcountry and the snow was phenonmenal.

It has been warming up and snowing all day. Started out around -14 and is now -8. Snow was icy crystals to start but is now into the nice flakes and it got heavier throughout the day. Likely another inch or more on top of the 4 inches new to mid altitude. Forecast is for snow daily and temps going up to -4 mid week.

The Moose Jaw crew rode the Rolling Hills two days in a row and said it was good snow. The consensus among all was that the trees were fantastic.

The Fernie Snowmobile Poker Run starting at Coal Creek staging area runs on Sat the 5th and its Griz Days in Fernie this coming weekend. Cheers -V
