[Dawizman]

I left my inreach on the window ledge to the right when you walk into the Renshaw cabin today. Just wondering if anyone saw it or grabbed it and brought it down. Heading home tomorrow am, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ping the location?

Thanks, the groomer is going to check to see if it's still there when he's up next too, if someone doesn't grab it for me before hand.

-35 at kakwa. No inversion. Abort mission I repeat abort.

November 2014 we unloaded at Renshaw in -38. In hindsight it was such a dumb thing to do especially since the groomer hadn’t brought propane to the cabin yet. Didn’t venture far from the cabin nonetheless but don’t think I’d do that again...

3 years ago I left home to ride kakwa. It was -31. Wife called me crazy. Only had one buddy that would go with me. Unloaded the sleds and the truck said -29. I was having my doubts. Got to the cabin a kakwa and it was above zero. Had an awesome ride. I’ve also had it go the other way.

 

[Dawizman]

We went up last year at -25, and I can't imagine much colder than that.

Pretty scary if something goes sideways at these temps !

That’s good news. But, but fine dinning? I thought the last version was too much a sit down restaurant with early closing.


Was hoping more of a pub, or brewery with a good menu and atmosphere. hours better than 5-9? Might be still on the hill in the spring day light and miss dinner.

Hope it works out for them though!

Well they only plan on being open Thursday to Monday. Maybe they are thinking sledders like bromantic dinners??

According to the Avalanche Canada weather station it never went above -31 in Renshaw today.
Was anybody brave enough to challenge those temperatures today?

Yup, the 3 of us were up there for a while with the whole mtn to ourselves, than another 5 brave souls came and joined us. Was bitter cold.

Yes just talked to Hotrod and it’s THAT cold up there right now!! But on a good note there’s up to 28 inches of untouched on Renshaw and close to 24 inches on Lucielle and Belle!! Nice crispy powder, just who’s brave enough to freeze your !!!
