Snow Report: Feb 10/10

No new snow yet but it is sure trying. The temp is holding at -2 and we aren't losing any snow. Still be the same up top as the photos from the last blog.

Corbin Poker rally this weekend. Fernie having one on Sat too. ASA Jamboree at the end of the month.

Girls say that the ski hill in Fernie is still really good up top - no powder but it isn't icy. Same conditions at our little Pass Powder Keg in Blairmore. We all just are waiting for the big dump to happen and it will. Cheers!

Here's more photos from the knife's edge top of the back bowl @ Rain Gauge looking out on Castle Resort area.

Corbin Country Club Poker rally is Feb 13th (vintage ride) and 14th (actual poker derby) - come DEMO the new SKI DOO E TEC 800R (fuel injected) at the staging area and have a bowl of chili!

The ASA Jamboree is Feb 27 & 28th - still looking for some vounteers for check points. Banquet is Sat night with lots of great prizes.

If you have a short track - now is the time to come rip it up into the bowls - you can get stuck if you venture into the trees or pick the right line but you don't often get a chance to see the areas unless they are set up like they are now to go everywhere. Remember to support your grooming efforts in Fernie and Corbin if you are riding those areas. Cheers!

Schraders from Yorkton: Harley & Biblow joined up with Walt Healy's Sheldon & Trent and then Curt took off to Rain Gauge to climb up to the very top of the back bowl - cause no powder means lots o traction! Over the top are photos of Lost Creek fire area and Castle Mtn Resort. I will post some more photos in the next blog of Castle.

Curt groomed the trail and so it is in great condition - temps are holding at zero area. No new snow but again - Flathead is in unbelievable highway condition - great job Corbin Country Club!

Snow Report: Feb 1/10

We got about 3 inches of new snow down at the Inn but 6 inches up top - Curt's shift all came out to ride and what a great time we had! Great group of guys - everyone had a blast and there were high marks - Madden did his and had to climb backwards down it was so steep and there were trees (trees win) and lots of steep slopes to get stuck on - but they were always trying it!

Lots of traction everywhere!

Tim and Tom from Over the Top Rentals supplied the sleds - good to see you guys. They went to Morrisey and staged and said in the trees south of that trail were fantastic and they found snow untracked.

Greg and the boys from Medicine Hat Harley Davidson were out and found great traction, (trees and friends count as traction too) and even got stuck a few times - Rain Gauge and Heartbreak.

Flathead trail is like a highway!

Snow Report: Jan 31/10

2 cm of new snow last night and likely a bit more than that up top - it was snowing all day. More snow forecasted for the next few days. Temp is -7 this morning and visibility is low up top right now - looks like snow!

Reports from the Calgary Club was that the Flathead trail was in very good condition - they were pleased.

Greg from Medicine Hat Harley Davidison said they were up in Rain Guage (it was a bit windy) & Heartbreak (good & looked like no one had been in there) but they were able to go everywhere and still found spots to get stuck.

I am looking for check point volunteers for the Alberta Snowmobile Jamboree Feb 27th & 28th if anyone is interested in volunteering - need groups of 3-4 at each (us girls are doing one) don't hesitate to call me - 403-563-3101! Cheers

Calgary Club here today to ride down the Flathead. Very organized group if you are interested in joining - they were safety checked, pre-trip meeting and planned route discussed with everyone and off they went with guide in front and back. Bow Cycle from Calgary joined for their Demo Days!

Temp is -3 and it is lightly snowing - hopefully that is going to build into some accumulation since we have not really had any noteworthy new snow in over a week. Up top will see more than us down here. Trails are set up but not icy - scratchers still a good idea for any long trips.

Fernie Club did their grooming on Fri and had their moonlight ride to the cabin for midnight brunch last night - that club does a lot of fun activities if you are looking to join. Pipeline is rough but if you go past cabin and ride groomed trails please donate to the Fernie Club - having fun on well taken care of trails only works if users contribute.

Medicine Hat Harley Davidson group coming tonight and will get an update from them and the Calgary Club when everyone returns tonight!

Fly Fishing has started! This is the perfect place to live eh?
