Fernie’s mountain biking and hiking trails are opening finally despite the snowfall during past weeks. The snowpack as of today can be seen here and yes, it’s above average:
In the past few days trails such as Dem Bones, Stove, Hedonism, Roots, Up Rooted, Sidewinder, Queen V, Deadfall, Mad Cow, Swine Flu and Far Side have become dry enough to ride. Local trail builders ask that you try to mitigate spring trail damage by either walking around mud holes or riding straight through them. Riding around only increases the footprint.
Spring events include the Fernie Mountain Bike Club’s Spring Bike Blitz on May 24th.
Riding season is unofficially open in Fernie, happy riding and don’t forget your patch kit!
