How is the snow south of town, wondering about heading into gardner tommorow

 

[knee deep in it]

it didn't look like a lot of snow from the highway.

We went a little further west of Elko ( 6 km north of Galloway ) and found some good snow at the Sand Hills yesterday

I would probably head to Cranbrook instead of Crowsnest right now.

Hate to say it guys,but last saturday we were in the rolling hills and put on 100K,it was about -15,but we hit the rolling hills.... not a track and it was about 2' of untouched pow and the sun even tried to poke out...but didn't.Got back to the truck at about 0500 and it was a pretty cool ride.....all in all it was an awesome day.I didn't bring camera though........We staged at the yellow gates,not a lot of snow there,but plently to get us to the good stuff.Also heard that east of the Knotch was not bad also.

Rode in over the O'hagen today and went through Gardner creek, found some fresh but nothing spectacular. Good break in ride for the new sled. If the weather keeps up south of town should be good in a couple weeks.

Have a look at Verlee's SNOW REPORT on the website. Had a great couple rides this past week. Corbin Country club has groomed the Flathead 6 times so far. We also have a single lane groomer you pull up to Barnes, flip it over on the way down to shave off the bumps. We are realy ramping up the grooming program this year, hope to get some more members.

Stay away from the Alberta side of the pass at Crowsnest. Just no new snow, only a thin inch or so on hard packed base. Melts hyfaxes quick.

Until Crowsnest Pass gets snow keep driving to the BC side for sledding. A waste of time on the Ab side.
