Somebody is doing something wrong LOL,we rode three days in a row,four sleds and zero damage.Found lots of untouched snow and had a great weekend exept for sat afternoon as is was socked in and snowing hard.With out a doubt more snow is needed but hey its still very ridable and if you were home or working I will bet I had a way better time than you!

Worth it for sure, anything is better than work or sitting on the couch watching re runs

No doubt, besides it's early season riding! You never expect too much, if there is it's a bonus!

Of course there are mixed reviews,this is my seventh year doing this the first weekend in dec,mostly in mcbride,a couple years were valemount.There has been better years and there definatly been worse.As mentioned above there are pounded out areas,I dont circle the cabin all day though and have never ever not been able to find enough snow to carve around and get stuck a few times.In our group we consider all of us to be pretty decent riders and we all got stuck this weekend a few times.With that being said........Its the first of Dec,I dont just drop 20 feet of powder and its good to go on any year.For those who are bitchin about the conditions I think you should buy a Go-Cart,Its still early!

Well after a minor breakdown to Hotrods big truck he's back in action! Renshaw was groomed last night (Sun. 2nd), Lucielle they were just heading up today(Mon. 3rd) when i talked to them and Belle tomorrow or Wednesday. There has been some new snow fall from the weekend around 6"-10",but again early season riding so always be aware! Higgins.

Hotrod and Marco went up Renshaw for an afternoon ride and reported back it was great!!! Dropped into the bowl to the left of the cabin and was snowing hard all day. A solid 11/2 to 2ft of fresh on a good base. Still snowing hard when they left! Higgins.

What is Trail like in Renshaw ? Anybody ?

 

[heyjude]

Should be a nice weekend here. It has been snowing up top off and on this week and there's more supposed to be coming. All trails groomed. Good snow in the trees and meadows. Hill climbers should be careful, though.

Went up to the ant hills today and the rail was the best I've ever seen in 3 years. Great job! After the wishing well, snow was a little thin so it was a little "whoopy". Snow conditions were pretty good considering its the beginning of December. Had to cross a few creeks and dodge a few rocks. Could've used some clear skies and sun. But hey, who can complain about riding on a Friday instead of work??

Few pics from Last week-end. Good start to the year!

If you're riding Renshaw be aware there are still plenty of rocks just below the snow surface. I found 2 yesterday that did some nice damage to the front of my XM. Good riding though. I'll have some pictures shortly.

Great ride this past week-end. Five of us played for two days in untouched powder in the Ant Hills, just to the right of the avy chute. Great early season ride, snowing real hard this morning when we left. Good thing because we need to bury some landmines. Felt a few but no damage. Oh ya, the new XM is just absolutely awesome!

 

[fj40]

The trail up to Renshaw was great. A big thanks to the groomer.
watch for land mines still, but the snow was great.

Creek crossings can be a little dicey for Yamaha rider's.
