  • Grooming Report by Ian H. - Wednesday April 2,2008
    Hi Everyone!
    Well I went for a ski on the Golf Course tonight being Wednesday. It has a kind of Crust hard layer over corn snow under neath. Todd and Ray talked Ray says as long as the conditions stay the same we could groom. Tod and I agreed that we should groom once more this week as long as the snow is still set up then call it quits for the season and let the golf course have it back. If anyone can groom the golf course and dike Thursday preferably in the morning hours so it doesn't pack go ahead but let us know it got done I can do it Friday morning if not.

    Hi Nordic Skiers,

    We're planning more trails, more grooming. Join and volunteer and help make this season a success. We need people to groom trails.

    Snowshoeing
    Anyone interested in marking out some snowshoe trails on any of the land we have access to is encouraged to respond to this email. This includes the Blackstone Land up Coal Creek Valley. Some of the summer bike trails would be great snowshoe routes and if you want to mark them out, just let us know and we’ll provide the signage and the GPS.

    Ski With Your Dog Trails
    Anyone interested in marking out and clearing some ski with your dog trails is encouraged do so as well. Right now, the only ski with your dog trails we have are on the dike (City of Fernie Property) between the railroad tracks and the Hwy 3 Bridge on the North end of town. We plan to add the Maiden Lake Park Loop (Schickedanz Property) as soon as we can widen the trail around the lake, so we need volunteers for this project too. For information on what land is available to us for grooming, just respond to this email.

    DOG & HIKING RULES ON THE GOLF COURSE
    The Fernie Golf and Country Club DOES NOT ALLOW DOGS OR HIKERS ANYWHERE ON THE GOLF COURSE. SKIING & SNOWSHOEING ARE ALLOWED ONLY ON GROOMED TRAILS.
    A number of people (not necessarily Fernie Nordic Society members) continue to hike, ski and snowshoe with their dogs all over the golf course.
    If you see anyone either off the groomed trails, hiking or with a dog, PLEASE tell them the rules and ask them to leave.
    It is up to all of us to try to make sure that the golf course land is not harmed in any way during the winter.
    The golf course has been amazingly good to us, not only providing our society with a place to offer groomed trails to the community, but allowing their employees to constantly work on our equipment, do some of the trail grooming and provide the gas for Big Blue—all with no charge to the Nordic Society! We need to show our appreciation by helping people understand the golf course access rules.

    Thanks and Happy Skiing!!
