CONDITIONS:
This morning, it’s 3.1°C at cabin elevation with light winds. 15cm of new snow in the past 24 hours. Total snow in the past 7 days is 108cm. Total settled snowpack is 93cm and we have received 285cm of total snowfall this season. Fernie has had significant rain at valley bottom over the past several days with variable freezing levels over the last couple of days.

GROOMING:
The FSA is in a holding pattern awaiting mother nature! Regular operations are tentatively scheduled to start up December 20th.
Corbin: The crew headed out yesterday to dial in some recent mechanical work on the Silver Surfer (aka the Corbin snowcat). They were able to blade and track pack to the Rain Gauge turn off and reported pretty good coverage from the staging area although it was raining / snowing off and on all day. We are tentatively aiming for a groom on Friday night and staff will be at the kiosk on Saturday morning - be ready to present your FSA membership or purchase a day ticket. Remember, you can also purchase your day tickets online in advance HERE.
