2018/2019 Mcbride Conditions and Updates

[BEL]

Did the Gigglin’ Grizzly ever reopen?

 

[catmando]

Higgins have you talked to Rod lately?

It’s been raining for two days over here in Quesnel, and the temps looked a little colder on the McBride side. I’m thinking they must of got some fresh snow over the last few days....

Its raining on and off here but as your get closer to the BC border from here it's turning into snow. I'm guessing they are getting some snow higher up as they are just a stones throw west of Kakwa.

It sucks that it didn’t... it was one of the best places to take the wife out for dinner and drinks after a day on the hill. Now it’s just drinks in the cabin and some BBQ I suppose (or Chinese buffet depending on the days we are there)

Talked to Hotrod this morning but not a lot has changed! Not grooming Renshaw yet. Some riders were heading up today and going to give him an update later today. Belle and Lucille are being groomed though!

There's rumours about the Grizz reopening on the weekends, but nothing to confirm it. But don't worry, Sue and me Eatery opened up and the food is awesome, had the rack of ribs Friday night ..... fantastic, can have a few beers or wine with dinner, great place to take the wife and kids.

There was light snow at the house off and on today but no accumulation, tops were socked in all day and have been getting a bit the last couple days, but really need a dump soon!

Yes the Grizz is supposed to reopen for Fri-Sun mid December was last I heard.

Not seeing any snow here. Only about 40 miles from Renshaw.

 

[j.c.higgins]

Hotrod is going to be building the Renshaw trail starting Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Riders reported back to him they probed 1.5m at the cabin. So hopefully everthing goes as planned and she will be good to go for later this week!

 

[j.c.higgins]

Hotrod has managed to complete the Renshaw trail! There are some hazards along the way but he has put safety cones by these. Trail is skinny up to 7-8km so they may be letting you drive to 2km parking till more snow fills things in! Ride safe everyone!!

 

[captain extreme]

Any new snow up top this week?

 

[Ohmz]

Any repot form renshaw today?

 

[CR500R]

Finally got out on the sled. All I can say is we need snow, badly!! Renshaw on Saturday was pretty good, clear skies and decent snow on the front slopes and in the backside meadows, went back to the falls, all in all lots of fun to be had. Just came down from Lucille, absolutely brutal, conditions I would've expected on remembrance day weekend ,not December. If your headed this way Renshaw is the place to go. Hopefully the forecast holds up and we get some fresh this week.

 

[Caper11]

Looks like a decent reload is coming this week!

 

[Caper11]

So whats the word in mcbride for fresh snow???

 

[FastFarmer]

Somewhere in here someone was saying there’s 4’ in the Ant Hills but no one could say if that was total or new or what. I can’t see it being new snow...

 

[CR500R]

We probed between 3 1/2 - 4' of snow total on Saturday, close to level with the cabin deck. Should be a lot more now though, as I'm looking at about 4" on the ground here at the house that fell overnight, and more in the forecast for tonight.
