A bit cooler temps today but that was +14 so not bad - breeze was cool and it would spit for a few minutes but never actually rained. Hot yesterday at +24. Weather moving steadily toward constant warm sunny temps.
After only two days of warmth Curt and the Moose Jaw guys - Randy and Murray, were able to cross at the 6000ft mark - snow was minimal and is likely gone now - waterfalls were roaring but the creeks are a bit slower with the cooler entry into summer. Trail of 7 Bridges was just right for challenge and being able to still cross.
July openings are as follows: New Cabin available evening of the 4th to morning of the 7th, evening of the 10th to the 13th, evening of the 18th to the 28th. Log open evening of the 10th to the 13th. If you are interested in any of those dates let me know. THE DOUBLEWIDE IS NOW GONE - Yahoooo! Cheers -V

Quad Report: Sunny Days!
Hi - we have had overcast with short spotty showers for the past week but nothing that kept you from being out and doing stuff. Today is 21 and warming up fast with the forecast for 27 tomorrow and hot all week. I think we have arrived at summer.
July may have a few spots available but August is booking up fast now. I think September will be really good too as we have been a month behind from full on snow and sledding all through the month of April.
Our guys from Moose Jaw have encountered some snow around the 6000 ft mark and couldn't make it fully to the plane crash on the York Creek Trail but they have been a lot of other places. Curt headed out with them (Randy and Murray) this afternoon to Trail of 7 Bridges and B road. Cheers! V

Quad/Fishing Report: June 6/11
Hi - sorry it has been so long! We have had great weather the past 4 days or so. +18 to +23 and smokin hot. Today was a bit overcast all day but still warm and no rain. We have availability in June - give us a call.
Summit Lake - a two minute walk from our place was restocked with 3,200 Gerards and Fraser Valley rainbows the other week! 7-8 inches and some 16 inch too.
We only have the log cabin and new cabin available over the summer as we are building a new one where the doublewide was so be sure to call in advance. July is pretty well booked up. June is turning out to be sunnier than in previous years so far. Check out the CNP Quad Squad's website for all the quadding info for the Pass. www.quadsquad.ca Support their club - its very low cost and they do fantastic work for keeping quadding alive and well in this area. Cheers -V

Quad Report: Weather Yukky
Hi - weather is miserable today and yesterday. We were getting overcast with spitting rain all day for a couple of days and then wham we are getting snow and rain slush the past 24hrs. All the trees have snowy white branches but no actual accumulation on the ground. It is cold though at +1 and going to +5/6 today but there is a rainfall warning for the Kootenay area - 10mm over today.
Good news is this weather will pass and Sun, Mon, Tues it isn't supposed to rain it will be a bit overcast with sunny breaks and warmer temps. I would stay home til then depending on your tolerance for rain and cold at the same time. Usually if you are just wet it isn't too hard to manage but its cold. Horses were shivering last night so they got blanketed and fed more. Trails are very good out here - you can go a lot of places and we don't get the deep mud up here that you can find at lower elevations - just lots of great pools of water to drench you buddy with.
We have openings in June - book your trip before the mad rush.
For fishing....lots of winter kill at Summit lake but our local fly shop reports lots of decent rises. Cooper and Kale will likely revist Island Lake again with all their success there. Had a bit of success fly fishing at Lee Lake the other day. What will those two boys do for retirement that they don't do now? Cheers -V

Quad Report: Howdy! Weather is Great
Hi,
Took a month off of blogging to let everyone settle down after an awesome winter! Our April ran just about booked the whole month! I thought May would be a month of late starting for quadding here due to the snow but....I had a bunch of guys out in both cabins with Ernie this past week and they went and played up Tent and started up trail of 7 bridges but decided to give the griz that left fresh prints his day. They said they had a great time and went farther than I thought they could.
The kids and I headed out on the horses and were surprised at just how much snow was gone. Yep gone. There is a fire ban on for Alberta (not sure about BC) but I assume that is more is due to the lack of support they would have if one started here and the snow is going fast. Slave Lake is a priority so error on the side of caution and be careful on all fronts not just with not having a fire.
The weather was fanatastic this weekend and it continues. Fire up the quads and dirt bikes boys and girls -the wait is over and come on out. We only have two cabins available for the summer and fall so if you book both or stay 4 nights or more you get a deal and you have the place to yourself! I can't believe it but June is very open right now. July looks crazy so avoid the crowds and come early! Cheers! V

Snow Report: April 23/11 Sunny
Howdy...no snow today, +6 and sunny. Snow was melting in the yard but Beers went for a tour on our trail and said the trail was holding up really really well. Said they rode close and it was still winter riding even on stuff a couple of days old. The guests went to Alexander and said they were still getting stuck with at least 8-10 inches of fresh snow. Trend is to start warming up so all that base is going to harden up to hero snow but there is about 7-12 feet under you in any one place. Watch the slopes getting sun in the afternoon and enjoy!
Oh I wanted to update you on a message from Fernie Snowmobile Association:
"Morrissey Road is open to Snowmobilers for 3 weeks." They have ploughed a turnaround before the yellow bridge (after the switchback). "Please do not take trailers past this point. As per Tembec's requirement the road is blocked to truck traffic @ the catski turnoff past the big rock." They report that they have RECORD snowfall in the alpine and remind people to be safe and have fun.
Cheers -V
