Snow Report: Mar 31/09

WOW it is snowing huge flakes so hard right now (8:30pm) that I can barely see the light on the CPR shack across the way from us! Kids are praying for a snow day tomorrow.

Guys from SK said that visibility on the Flathead trail by Cutts cabin was getting really poor by end of the day. Imagine the snow up in the bowls. Lots of snow south. Check the avalanche report, plan your trip and then go have some fun! Still lots of places to get stuck and the reports are that riding in the trees is fantastic.

Snow Report: Mar 30/09

Sunny at Inn but....went up our trail which our guests had been boon docking on on Sunday! and onto Flathead - could boondock on sides in some places but still very washboardy - then up to Barnes where you could carve away and into Limestone which had 2ft of New Snow easy and it will have another 1ft for sure by tonight. It was snowing harder by the hour up there starting to cover our tracks in. This is a great spring!

Snow Report: Mar 29/09

More Snow! 4 more inches already this morning and the system they said would come is here. -2 & snowing with poor visibility up top right now. It is snowing but driving is still good. The Log Cabin gang went to the Notch yesterday and found tons of great snow but they said the pipeline is very very rough. Our trail continues to hold up with only a few rough spots. The avalanche report is high up in the alpine for today with the system moving through but the safe spots to ride will be fantastic for spring riding conditions.

Snow Report: Mar 25/09

Snowing again this morning - not so lightly either. Temp is -3 and flakes are big and fluffy. Although our trail is good I would recommend staging to save your strength for the rougher trails that get you into the really good areas for some great spring riding. Have Fun!

Snow Report: Mar 24/09

4 inches of new snow up in Limestone and it was untracked! Rain Gauge was looking pretty good too. Start of Flathead is pretty rough but it is spring and it does get better the farther you head south. Temperature was holding its own and it was snowing today reducing visibility up in the bowls. I was surprised at how well our trail is holding up. As you can see, my shutter didn't open all the way but you can see some of the new snow up Limestone. Covered a lot today showing Rads & his crew from Edenwold, SK around.

Snow Report: Mar 23/09

IT IS SNOWING. Has been snowing all morning and is only getting heavier not lighter. It is zero and the snow is staying. Remember this is spring riding conditions and so you are going to have lots of traction. The farther you go down the Flathead the better the snow gets and as long as you get off the trail you are going to find great snow for this time of year. Archie tried to groom a couple of days ago, but broke the hitch so he used the bar and did the best he could to groom Corbin - Flathead. First 4km are the most ridden and roughest but past Rain Gauge it is less travelled and smoother....Cheers!
