Staying in vale but have always wanted to venture to mcbride and may head that way this trip, any maps or anything a guy can track down to see either lucille or renshaw? And what do you guys recomend for riding area for a couple of first timers in the area thanks all any info appreciated

Lucille, Bell, and renshaw are the maintained areas. I would be checking out Renshaw first. its probably the largest riding area in western canada. Plan to head in there on a sunny day to get the most of it. Belle and lucille are much smaller, tons of fun after a snowfall but get hammered out quick. I am unaware of any maps but someone on here must have something.

You can always use the online trip planner on the avalanche Canada site. Link below.

Then close out the info page with the little x on the top right under the 3 lines.

Then zoom in on the zone you want.

Or here’s a map of Renshaw but it’s not that much help out in the real world.

Remember the old days when the only way you could get condition update was by phoning your buddy who went last weekend. Now we are all on numerous sites plus looking at cameras all the way to your destination and hopefully one on the mountain...lol

Lmao!! Right!
Sherry from the north country would call me and say its snowing and your room is booked, best sled season I ever had. I think I put over 1000miles in epic snow. I do not use the word epic very often either. Lol

Ya Sherry was the Best at the North Country, those were the days! Place fell apart when Sandu bought the place and turfed her.
Fortunately James and Lyn took over Bell Mountain and then that place became home#2. Sadly they sold 2 years ago:-(

That’s what I figured.. if you see two guys on snowbikes with swollen nuts... just pass on thru.
