Yea today was frickening cold at lucille. Pretty tracked up now, decent 1-1.5ft of powder in some spots but nothing like renshaw on saturday. Easily 4ft of powder in many spots and there wasn't to many people there so tons untracked. No pictures everyone forgot the camera or the battery

The cabin was stupid littered.......but it doesn't suprise me when you see people riding without packs and a shovel on their sled or other stupid things

Cyle, we rode in Lucielle today as well, I was the guy in the turbo Nytro. And It was cold, but when your having fun you dont really feel the cold. Rod took me into the butterfly, never been down there yet so it was somewhere new for me. We got down there and it was untracked, with anywhere from 1' to 2' powder, someplaces even deeper. Rode in there for about 1 1/2 hours then had to make my way back. Otherwise it was quite tracked up in most areas there. I'll post some pics later.

Hey it was cool meeting up with you guys in Renshaw. Popped the motor on my T-Dragon on the way down though. Not so good ending to a good day!

 

[Slamnek]

Butterfly is an awesome area and when the conditions are right you can go one more drop over and i think its called larva. You can go a long way back in lucile.

Sunny and -21 this morning with no wind. Going up to -14 this afternoon and staying around there until Thursday. Friday temp goes up to -9 with scattered flurries for the weekend. Should be nice sledding next weekend.

Had a group of sledders cancel their reservations for December 11th weekend, so I do have four beds available now.
UPDATE: TWO BEDS LEFT - THANKS, GLEN

Yes I know, I was with Norm on the RT1000, didn't see you on sunday but did on saturday in renshaw, I rode with you last year at MM09 in dore on the orange kingcat. We were going to go back there but had 2 girls on smaller sleds so didn't want to drop down in there. The trail in and out were the only cold parts, still wasn't bad. Was still some powder, but nothing that would test out what the new sled would do.

Nice pics. I hate that bob-sled ride down the trail in the trees. I have gone down that when its polished ice. I love the pull out of there. Here's a pic from 2 years ago back there and the pull out.

Found out about that drop last year, but never had a chance to go into it because of conditions. When can you drop into that area?

 

[POWDERCHOWDER]

we go normally around march cuz the pull out of larva is big, you can even go another drop back don't know the name of that bowl tho, invading mcbride this thursday. braaaaaap

 

[samsquatch47]

Next area is called "goats throat" or "goats eye" I think? It is a nice and long pull out of the larva back into the butterfly! Man I can't wait to go back!
