The South Rockies Field Team is three avalanche technicians who travel through the region on snowmobile and skis collecting weather, snowpack and avalanche observation data.
My favorite spring ride is a double loop on Mt Proctor. Climb Swine Flu and descend Far Side, followed by a second climb up Mad Cow to Swine Flu and descend Swine Flu. Both Far Side and Swine Flu offer a fast and flowy ride with a smooth mix of tight lines, roots and new-school berms with g-force! Get out and enjoy!
The skiers are trying to get as much lift accessed skiing in as possible before the lifts close and are counting down the days to the end of Fernie’s lift service
