Snow Report: Feb 27/09

Okay, I forgot my camera so I took a photo of my sled after taking the Humboldt boys out to Limestone. OMG! I boon docked the trail to Corbin, went up into Barnes and then Limestone - ran into Robert on the way - Cheers. There is 4ft of snow up there. Then boon docked my trail back to the Inn as there was more than enough both ways! It is staying cool in morning and evening -zero right now. It may even snow again tonight. Yehaw!

Archie is going to groom the Flathead this afternoon so be prepared to donate to grooming if you are staging there - Thank you.

Garret, Darcy.....man quit your jobs and get out here. Curt - sorry you can't quit yours lol.

Snow Report: Feb 26/09

It has stopped snowing and is holding at -15. The Pass was closed last night and this morning long enough to get the kids a snow day again but it is open now. Here are the kids starting on the back deck. We have a few feet of snow down here at the Inn. The higher elevations will be fantastic! Remember to donate to grooming programs so that when the trails are rough, the clubs can afford to groom and continue to help you have the best riding or access to back country skiing experience possible. Cheers.

Snow Report: Feb 25/09 - Evening



Its hard to see the banks but it has been snowing all day - a lot! It is still snowing and where I have blown out the yard I now have about 4 more inches of snow again. I tried to go to town for more diesel but there were four cars in two accidents between our turn off and the Welcome to Alberta sign (about 1km) and visibility was so bad that I got turned around at the lakes and came back. Temp has dropped a bit to -15 which means the snow will stay. Ignore the date on the photos - every time I change batteries it defaults to a 2006 date. Oops! Temps are supposed to warm up a bit this weekend. Check your avalanche bulletins before you ride - there are lots of safe places to ride. Cheers.

Still Snowing! It is up to the top of my Sorels in places. It is blowing today also but the snow is not crusting up as more is still falling. It is a snow day for our kids as I will need to blow out the yard. Cheers!

Snow Report: Feb 6/09

No new snow but it is trying today - supposed to get 5 cm. Bring scratchers if riding the lower altitude trails. Spring riding conditions with snow still left in trees @ Corbin/Flathead if you get off the trails and explore.

Snow Report: Feb 2/09




We received 2 inches of new snow and it warmed up. The usual riding areas are pounded out. But...Curt took the Rockport crew out from Moose Jaw and they used their imagination and rode knee deep snow in the trees, jumped off banks and had a great weekend. Got to get off the trail and into the trees. Think spring riding.
