Absolutely it's a blizzard haha. Should be a good day, hopefully the wind mellows.
So is there anywhere in McBride to buy a pair of riding gloves?

I'd be very surprized if one of the service stations, or better yet the home hardware, does not have at least a minimal selection of gloves, not going to find a set of Klim, but might find a set of insulated leather mitts or something.

I had a hard time finding anything last year when I was missing a balaclava. Try home hardware or Esso though, they might have something to hold you over.

Alpine has a good selection in Valemount for sure.

Rode Belle today. Very windy but we had a good half day. The snow in the trees was pretty decent.
Saw some avys around big bell, in the distance.

Super sick day in renshaw, broke into the anthills with rknight111 and my brother, took some attempts to do it cause it was tits deep.

Bumped into some other guys who rode with us, had an amazing day!!

Well $hit, I should have come along. To bad we had plans we couldn’t cancel. Looks like you guys had a great day.

Yep great day at renshaw today. Snow was chest deep in many areas and minimal 3’. Sleds worked hard

Trail going up was Awesome, tree down at 15. Rod is grooming tonight and will fix it.
He said there was 20 people in lucielle and 50 in Belle today. Come to mcbride. The snow is sick.

Mountain mania is in 3 weeks. Buy your tickets now. Get a hotel. Staying at the sandman this weekend. It’s not to bad.

Last two days in renshaw were awesome as always! Gave Rod a hand to shovel half the cabin roof!
New sandman breakfast voucher is a great idea and convenient!
I don’t wanna sound like mother hen here fellas but slow down a bit on Mountain View road, watched a white dodge with black deck nearly run into a local fella in a tractor plowing snow, I know everyone is fired up
to get to the lot in the morning and get going but I’m sure the locals that live on Mountain View would appreciate it and make it a little easier on the club keeping everyone happy!

Had a stellar weekend in Mcbride, stayed at the sandman for the first time and it was pretty good. The meal vouchers were a nice touch.
The food was amazing at the Grizz, I was told that their morning breakfasts are very slow, so hopefully more will get over there.
