Trails is in really good shape! Like bbtoys said the lower part is abit rough but nothing to bad. It's definitely worth it for the snow uptop! Riding conditions are like mid February!

Up Renshaw today for a big mile day! Out to Spirit and down in the backside of Pyramid, 1-3ft of excellent snow. Weather wasn't really co-operating. A few breaks but not much. And yes Hotrod caught an edge!!! And hit the toolies! LMFAO!

Good snow in renshaw the past 2 days, anywhere from 1-1.5 feet of fresh in places, even more in the trees!

I have a bone to pick with some people though. My cousins sled broke down on the way back down to the truck today. So there was a couple times we stopped to take a quick break, or redo our straps and some guys were blowing past us doing 60-80 kph spraying us with snow/slush/ice. There were even a couple guys grabbing a handful of throttle right as they went by us. Maybe learn some trail etiquette and slow down a little at least? It's pretty easy to see that we're on the far right side of the trail working on a sled, the least you can do is slow down to a half decent speed so you're not spraying us on your way by. The last thing you should be doing is speeding up going past us, and maybe it wouldn't hurt to stop and make sure we're all good? That's what I would do anyways. Thanks to the people who stopped and made sure we were okay.

Back up Renshaw, poor visibility, made it up over the Alberta shoulder and hit some nice snow!!! Down early though due to an injury.

Visibility today was tough. With the new snow coming down and my helmet visor blew its seal... Bad combo!
I picked up a bunch of garbage everywhere today... It paid off one time as I scored a sweet little socket set! Please remember to pack everything back out with you...including your garbage.

Was up in McBride for the last 4 days. First and most important is to thank Judy and Barry for taken care of us. Top notch and I am pretty sure I gained 10 pounds, again THANK YOU..... The snow was more than perfect for 3 of the 4 days. We even had 3 to 4 feet of of pow in the back of Renshaw. Can't wait to go back and ride Renshaw and stay at MOUTAIN HAVEN BnB.
