On the 27th, Sam, Dan, Brenda, Curt and I took a birthday ride from Fernie's Coal Creek Staging area and went to the new cabin, Rolling Hills and Wranglers Cabin and out onto the pipeline. We had to be back so it was just a ride to see what snow was like and it was in really good spring shape. There was plenty in the trees between the two cabins and the pipeline from Wranglers towards the Notch looked to be and felt pretty ride-able. The Pipeline north towards our place gets super rough and the creeks are getting wide and difficult. The Rolling hills was fun - set up with lots ridden but still many a line left to try. Today Curt, Cooper, Sommer, Dan and Brenda took our trail to Canyon Creek Falls for hot dog roast and the trail was thin right out from our place but improved as they went. It is done though. Better to trailer around and forego the bone rattling. Curt was thinking about grooming it one more time but he said after today with +10 temps and +10 to +17 forcasted for next week (-1 and zero for the evenings) that it didn't seem worth it anymore. Cooper going riding with Shawn and Austin from Timbersled next week and then he thinks he is going to put his wheels back on his bike to hit Koocanusa. There still is plenty of snow up in the bowls and Kent from Regina said they found lots of decent snow up in Rain Gauge and had a really good day sledding. They trailered around to Corbin. The crew is at Corbin this weekend riding also. Again we are going to close up the cabins on the 15th even though it tends to snow the last weekend of April. Wanted to send you some photos to show you what to expect for snow. Nice sledding with one layer on! Cheers - V
