New Snow Report: Jan 11/09












Roger, Neil, Rob (The Crew from Gray, SK), Curt and I headed out to Heartbreak and it was fantastic! The snow in the trees was wonderfully carvable and stable on the slopes. We tore it up all day in there. There is a drag that you can pull up and down to keep the trail in shape. Great contraption! The trail and flathead were in great shape too - remember to bring cash for trail fees because if it is groomed they will be collecting and credit cards don't work. Believe me it is worth it - they have groomed LOTS already and the ride in is fast and flat! Temps were warming up the day we took these photos (Thurs).
Today it was +5 and the snow was melting. Still would be good riding up in the alpine and hopefully it snows this week with the warmer temps instead of -18.
Remember Corbin Poker Derby on the family day long weekend - Feb 13th & 14th. The Alberta Snowmobile Association Jamboree is in Crowsnest Pass Feb 27th and 28th.
Sled rentals are now available at Mountian Memories - Mr. R's of now Lethbridge is supplying sleds out of their location in the Pass. Tim at Over the Top Rentals has sleds for rent out of Calgary to this area as does Ghostrider Motorsports in Fernie.
Just a reminder....we only rent cabins(self sufficient with BBQs too) and avalanche beacons and backpacks with shovels and probes. We no longer have sled rentals, the restaurant or bar although the Rum Runner, Vinnie's Pizza(they deliver), Chris' Restaurant etc are 10 mins away as are all the big chain grocery stores - 10 mins in either direction. Cheers!
