Rode renshaw today and it was sick, deep snow. 2’ in open areas, 3’ in areas by trees. We got here early on the trail before 8:00. Putting our fuel in at 11:14, I put the large Gerry can in and made it to km 7 on the trail. Lucky I have a buddies with NA sleds, lol. Lots of areas to play still.

Well the renshaw did not disappoint today... for there being 200+ sleds up the hill yesterday we couldn't find many of their tracks.

Made our way into the Anthills. Played in the meadows, got a stuck a few times, slowly made our way up to the anthills, weather slowly changed and vis got better. Played around there for a bit, then the sun came out so we went for a tour all the way around the way around Mt Renshaw, but decided not to try and poke over the saddle.

The snow is facken deeeeeeep, everywhere, and in some spots, with the right drift it's over the handle bars...

Only about 30 sleds up there today.

There was a ton of tracks in meadows around the ant hills when we left Saturday, it was all filled in???

They were faintly visible... the hills on the north side of the anthills was 90% covered with new snow.

We hit the renshaw again today, snow has settled a bit. Vis was bad today, we poked up into the anthills a little ways but then the snow and the wind came in hard, so we headed back down into the trees and played in there for the day. Heavy snow coming down when we left, got to the trail around 3 and turned to rain as we went down.. somewhere around 3700 feet... was absolutely pouring in the parking lott.

Still had fun, still burnt a tank of fuel, and even warmed up the shovels a few times. Absolutely buried the sidewinder, pin and wiggle didnt quite wiggle me out of that spot.... was good for a laugh though... another successful trip done, be back next week haha.

rode today pretty wet down low but started to snow half way up the trail. Me and my buddy found some decent stuff in the ant hills, could not go high snow was making it hard to see. When we where leaving the staging area there must of been at lest 25 trucks some had sleds and sled trailers so......
