2019/2020 Mcbride Conditions and Updates

That being said, looks like the first good dump is going to hit town this weekend...

What's the rules on early season riding at Renshaw? Saw a couple guys unloaded at km20+ last weekend and found some great riding. This kosher? I have the itch and it needs to be braaapped.

waaaayyyyy early yet...it’s a rockpile

Email the pics to yourself, downsizing them then you should be able to instal them no problem

Looks promising. What about a recon to the Renshaw cabin next week to start with?

This was Renshaw allegedly last weekend

Yup, way to early for Renshaw, just asking for rock carnage... We have drove to KM 14/15 to unload early season in the past but it was a poor choice...

 

[Dawizman]

Forecast got even better. Next week should be decent up Belle!

You don’t want to be smacking up a new sled yet!! Belle would be your best bet if you’re desperate! Renshaw and Lucielle have lots of hidden gems for this time of year!

 

[j.c.higgins]

Hotrod is up there next week getting equipment ready he was going to check things out and report back!

Wasn't planning on riding the new sled. I think the wife and I are going to head that direction tonight and check out Belle tomorrow. She can ride the new machine, won't get beat up that way . Might get broken in easier too.

Started snowing hard here about an hour ago and coming in from the west over the mountains. It's gonna need a lot more before I venture up; but it's a start.

55cm in most areas up Belle. Some decent drifts, but lots of exposed rocks and little trees that I have never seen before. Great day overall! Super impressed with the new Hardcore. I didn't really ride it, but the improvement I saw in my wife's riding was huge.

I heard a guy wrote off a new 850 turbo up on Lucille today... Only thing we destroyed was a couple creeks.

 

[Shredder]

That would totally suck writing off a new sled already.

 

[Dooitorbust]

I never understood the itch to risk destroying a brand new sled in early season.. I would love to attempt a ride now, but it would definitely be on some older, if not vintage iron.

 

[Caper11]

The risk is definitely higher this time of year. But a damaged sled can happen anytime, anywhere.

Thanks for the pics and updates.

Agreed. Ride for the conditions regardless of the time of year. We played it safe, it was fun just to be out on the hill. I let the mrs ride the new sled so that i didn't get any bad ideas.

 

[j.c.higgins]

Lucielle has damaged many sleds in the early season! But great pics Dawizman! And you're right play it safe.

Take it easy and don’t drop a ski or go full wick up a hill. It’s going for the sake of scratching an itch and getting some snow under the tunnel.

I for one am itching. And really liking the 2 week forecast.

 

[Rustystrings]

Thanks for sharing the pics he inch is very real. First trip of the season can’t come soon enough

Just talked to Hotrod, socked in and raining steady, started about 2am. He’s not sure on up top too busy working on equipment. But weather radar looks nasty so hopefully snowing where it counts!!!
