Snow Report: Nov 18/09

Yesterday it was +5 and windy and raining/snowing a bit at lower altitudes but it was snowing at the Inn on and off all day and we didn't lose any of our snow. It firmed up a bit.

Today it is +1 and was lightly snowing this morning. A dusting of snow. Trails are looking good.

We are booked for Christmas and New Years and have bookings scattered throughout Jan.

The Crow Snow Riders are looking for volunteers for the ASA Jamboree this year Feb 27 & 28th. If you are interested in a position just let me know and I will get you signed up. Cheers!

Avalanche Training Info

Hi Gang,
Wanted to tell you about some Avalanche Training Opportunities.

To get a full AST 1 Certification you need to attend a Classroom session & a Field Session.

Amber Wood is hosting a classroom session in Fernie Nov 26 & 27th from 6-9 and 6-10 and one in Cranbrook all day Sat Nov 28th

Lori with www.zacstracs.com is hosting a classroom session in Regina Sat Nov 28th 9am-6pm.

Field Sessions: Amber is hosting a field session in the Crowsnest Pass Jan 23rd & 24th
Lori is hosting three field sessions in Fernie Jan 3,4 & 10th.

These are just a few but they are likely the closest to us. It is going to be a fantastic season and the only thing that would make it better is if we all live to "GO BIG AND GO HOME" which is the theme for this year from presentations being made at the Calgary and Edmonton show.

Beacons can be rented just about anywhere for $15 a day on average. Plan ahead. Cheers - V

Snow Report: Nov 11/09

It has been snowing lightly but steadily since 8:30 this morning. Traffic on the highway is very slow. Nov 11th, 2006 we received 3ft of snow for reference of what type of snow year we are all anticipating. Trail riding would be alright if you had to break in a new engine. Keep doin' the snow dance gang!

Snow Report: Nov 10/09

Camera giving me grief. Snow looks the same as two days ago. I had to blow snow yesterday and the kids were out on the sled all day - they went to weigh scales and to Tent and said the trail was in great condition. We are at -3 and suppposed to stay at -1 most of the week with on and off flurries.

Snow Report: Nov 7/09

Woke up to this snow this morning and it has been snowing all day and still a bit tonight (6-8inches & fluffy). Cooper had his fan cooled sled out on the trail out back and on the track infront and had a blast. Still ...hold off...all it would take is a couple of 2 inch paddled tracks to go up and back on the trail and I am sure they would be stirring up rocks. Don't drive a long way to ride even though there is snow up top that is staying between these bouts. It would be just enough snow to hide a big rock or log to tear up your a-arm, track or pipe. It is supposed to warm up a bit again. Its good "practice snowing" for the season though!

Our Jan is starting to book up so if you are considering that month then give us a call to check date availability. Cheers!

Snow Report: Nov 2/09

Hey gang - we took off for a few days (thank you Danielle for being our "inn sitter") and our snow at the Inn is pretty well gone. Cooper had headed out to Tent Mtn base on Wed on his sled and there was about 2ft of snow in places but it was a bit on the rotten side.

It is practicing hard but hold off and save your parts for when the real snow comes to stay.

Sask Sled show is this coming weekend - go ramp up with equipment for the season! Cheers.
