Great snow up Renshaw, up to 24” of snow around cabin and Wolverine bowl!Mostly Bluebird, didn’t go far had newby and kids. Guys I know rode out to Spirit and hit even better snow there!!! No pics too many sled issues!

Rode Renshaw Friday. Conditions were amazing and one of my best days in The mountains for sure!!!
We ran into Hot Rod, Higgins and crew , was great to catch up with them.
Trail up was perfect with several inches of fresh.
We headed into the main valley then off to Spirit with first tracks down in everything from bumper to over hood deep. We left everything beyond the lake untouched. It will be amazing for whoever gets back there today. A few of us ran out coming off the lake and were all on fumes at the truck. Put on well north of 100k

PS: I have to send a big shout out to Higgins. He let me take his new 850 AXYS for a rip. It works great and was cool to jump from it to a G4 for comparison in some awesome snow !!
Thanks again

Whoever left their tunnel bag open, you lost two gloves, your toque and Stanley flask, Hotrod has it it.

Sun was out, snow was great and the trail was a highway.

Awesome snow and lots of lines left at Bell, only a handful of guys up there today. I think the snow is better at Bell.

How’s the conditions since this past few days of warmer weather? Had a plan to come ride this weekend but wondering if it would be with the 11 hour drive??

The sun was loosening the snow up through the day and making the conditions great for us Sunday.

Rode Belle on Monday, snow was awesome, coming over the hood in the burn and trees. Stucks were deep digs, was a good day. Very few marks up there so lots of unmarked snow still to play in.

Rooms are booked, sleds prepped, trailer loaded and booze bought.
Just waiting for Thursday after work to head down the road.
Looks like a crew of 6.

Thanks for the update.

Spring riding for sure now!!! Hotrod and friends out riding Renshaw the last few days and still good lines to be had if you go looking. Snow crusty first thing in the morning but once warmed softens up real nice!! Still using parking lots but Mountainview road getting slick and soft by days end!

Full on spring riding.
Crusty in the morning and soft in the afternoon.
Snow from the booth and no bare spots.
Groomed last night and first ones up, super smooth as always this morning.
Grooming again tonight.

As it warms up trail will deteriorate and will whoop out fast but great now and full on spring hero snow.

Rode Renshaw on Friday. Pushed back to spirit lake. Was some snow to be had. More if you were adventurous and dropped into some small areas. Trail up was great. Road into though had some deep ruts.
(Thanks to the guys hanging out at the cabin sharing their refreshments with us, was awesome seeing the turbo snowbike perform)

Rode Bell on Saturday. It was fully tracked out everywhere up top. There was snow in the lower cut blocks to be had that was excellent and deep.
