Hotrod mentioned around 15 trucks at Renshaw Friday and the Lucielle and Belle hills were seeing around 20 - 30 riders up each. During the week i'm sure it falls off from there.

Looking to head up for a ride Tuesday. Wonder how far up the trail the trucks with decks are making it. And or how far trail maintainers want us to go

no trailers past 2 km as there is no place to turn around. decks are as high as 6 km sunday on the renshaw. belle and Lucille are still being groomed, parking in the parking lots. PACK OUT WHAT YOU PACK IN.

There is only small whoops at the top, the rest is ice and mud.


The trail is mud till about 7km or so. Around 15km there is lots of mud too. A few more sunny days and there won't be much left to ride. Sure beats the hell out of your machine but once you get up its good. We had sun out sat and sun all day pretty much and rode 1-1.5ft of snow.

Rode tuesday parked at km 7 with a deck, can't go any further unless you wanna back out. Trail is patchy till km 18 ish and then pretty brutal whoops till the cabin. But there was 2 feet of snow in some spots and maybe half a foot to a foot in others, mostly tracked in all main areas. Was snowing lightly when we were leaving but looked like it was snowing good by the time we got to the truck. Still must be a couple guys that don't get the idea of packing there trash out. Had to pick up a few things here and there. But overall pretty decent. Good day, good snow I found it worth the trail ride.

belle and Lucille trails have lost snow cover in the last 2 days by a lot.
belle is still parking in the lot as there is no place to turn around past the lot. riding at least .05 km of dirt.
Lucille has hardly no snow cover to 2 km. parking is very limited at 2 km and very little room to turn around. road is blocked at 2 km until Monday.
no trailers past the parking lots.
PACK OUT WHAT YOU PACK IN.
still grooming Lucille and belle until this Saturday.
