April 3rd: The snowfall warning has been lifted and left anywhere from 5 to 30 cms of snow depending on location and elevation. Expect the trails to be snow covered. As the temperatures warm during the day expect wet, slushy trails, freezing again over night. Avalanche hazard is now moderate, but still check avalanche.ca while planning your day. Traction devices, including snowshoes, are always a good idea this time of year.
Cross Country ski:
Reasonable skiing conditions still exist on the most shaded core Crystal Line trails, Sundog, Loggers and west Mountain Road. However, sun exposed trails like the first 1 km of Mountain Road, or Iron Springs now have sections of bare ground or ice.
Hiking/Snowshoeing/Fat biking
A number of single track trails were machine compacted, setting up excellent conditions for fat biking. Snowshoers and hikers were out enjoying the soft snow and the more popular trails are already becoming user compacted. Check individual trail reports for updates.
At any time come prepared for a variety of conditions. Be sure not to overestimate your ability when planning your trip: Humility can be a lifesaver. Bring plenty of water, snacks and multiple clothing layers.
The Bragg Creek Trails group asks users to check their website for detailed condition reports before choosing their route. Ensuring you are using the correct trails at the correct times, helps to preserve trail tread and aids in preserving the hard work of volunteers and staff.
