Feb 12/13 - Alexander report

Hi Gang, well Curt, Luc, Christophe and Christophe went into Alexander today and Curt said it was ridden out. There were a few sweet spots where the snow was 3 inches of fresh but up to your waist when you stepped off in the wrong spot. Basically we ALL need snow EVERYWHERE. Just accept that it is going to be basically spring riding until we start getting some big dumps of snow. March I am sure will be great. If I am wrong I don't care I will still keep hoping but reporting the real conditions. Fernie groomer out tonight again I believe. Those guys have been working really hard to get caught up after MAJOR repairs to the groomer. Corbin groomer will be out Wed to start getting trail back in shape for the poker rallies this Sat and Sun. Trails are rough everywhere - makes you appreciate grooming and hopefully pay your trail fees! You may find it hard to find the numbers that match up to your maps that you purchase from Fernie Snowmobile Club and Corbin Country Club. Someone has been ripping down signs. Just try to work together to re-mark spots and since more and more people ride with garmins we will have to get more savvy at putting together way points for reference. We are getting something on our website to help you navigate the Corbin/Flathead and Fernie riding areas but they work best in conjunction with maps. Weather is supposed to be -2 to +2 this week with only a skiff of new snow on Wed and Sun. Keep your scratchers at the ready and go places you haven't been able to get into instead of sitting on your sled in the garage waiting for powder. Keep your riding muscles toned LOL. Hey just want to thank all the volunteers and club members who make this one of the best places to ride in Canada year after year. Weather has been tough and equipment has been having its better days but its still a great place to ride! Cheers to you! V
