Crowsnest Pass

[HavreSledHead]

I searched crowsnest pass and didn't get any results. Anyone familiar with the area? We have historically gone to Island Park and rented a cabin. But the snow has been marginal at best the last couple of years so I'm looking to expand my horizons. I can't find a whole lot of information on the interwebs such as places to stay and ride from without having to trailer? Not a huge deal but handy with the kids and inlaws to be able to pull and go.
I'd sure appreciate anyone's help.

Thanks, I guess I didn't clarify real well, we're already in for Island Park this year, have a cabin reserved and can't get out of it so we'll be muddin from the sounds of it... Next fall I would like to head North and check out some of the early snow.

Lots of different riding areas within a relatively close driving distance of each other.

The Mountain Memories website still has good directions to various staging areas on it

Summit Creek Cabins is a pull and go place to stay;

Couple of other places outside of Coleman on the north side of highway 3 are also pull and go. I will try and find the contact info and post it up later.

There was also a Bed and Breakfast in Fernie that was advertising as pull and go, not sure if they are still in business or not.
