[dragonweld28]

Here's a quick edit from last weekend. Nothing too exciting. Snow was deep. Got lots of testing done on the skidoo. Almost there.

Anyone riding lucille this week, I came across two coked our first time riders that left a backpack and a helmet down the creek to the left after the granny trail. I helped them get un stuck and one of the guys left his helmet and backpack with a rental beacon in the bag down the creek. I never got any full names but if anyone comes across it take it to lost and found.

good use for SAR resources for these guys that could become statistics...maybe they misinterpreted “busting fresh lines out in the pow on your sled”....???

Fresh lines in bell meadows all day today. Couple tracks in # 1 but broke trail to the rest of them!

Probed about 125cm in the Bell meadows. Snow there was good for us. Untracked all day. A few creeks to jump to get to the far end. Went up to the cabin for a look at the alpine conditions at the end of the day. Little Bell was fairly pounded. Would have to look for snow or ride tougher terrain.

There is a little guy that is living in the cabin walls.


Go for a look up renshaw today. Didn’t get the snow that was expected overnight in town. Prob gonna be a grey bird.

How much snow does Mcbride need for 0% chance of log/ rock sled damage?

Another 6ft. Everyone should just stay away

Are more visiting sleds at $25 a pop better for the Club or less? Yes. That’s right. More sleds, more money, better trails, better facilities, better safety. This is a great opportunity to showcase what the club has to offer. Help to promote the area and everybody wins!


But then if you are selfish and don’t want the club to flourish, keep it a secret.

Thats my best attempt at sarcasm to the secret keepers sledders.

My sarcasm was pretty blatant . Lol. I don't think there's ever a 0% chance of not hitting something. I found a tree under 18" of pow last year.

Yea, I figured a 50/50 chance you were being sarcastic so I put the message out anyway. It’s a different way of looking at things.

Anyways, you still didn’t answer the question. How much snow does Mcbride need so you don’t have to worry about rocks/stumps/hidden treasures? How much snow does Mcbride currently have?

Solid 6’ is a good start....of base...

And Renshaw is pretty close to that now. Another good dump and things will be looking pretty decent.

Depends what you are planning on hitting.
If the rock or tree is 1ft tall you'd want Maybe two to 3 feet.
If the rock or tree is 3ft tall you want 5 or 6ft of snow.

Just figure out what you want to hit and add 2 to 3 feet.
