up belle to work on the cabin. didn't think it would deep so no camera and took the work sled so no playing. was at least 14-15 inches of new snow at the cabin and over the top of little belle.

Sounds wonderful to me. Thanks for the update.

Went up renshaw today snow wasn't to bad about a foot or so of fresh but by the time we left everything was pretty tracked out, a lot of sledders up there today! Braaaap! Hitting a lot of rocks still tho overall amount of snow is scarce.

I love it when someone says Renshaw is all tracked out. LMFAO

Rode renshaw back to back days last year. See 4 or 5 guys all day then get back to the cabin and find over 200 sleds parked there. Puts it in a better perspective. Even with low snow last year renshaw wasn't even close to being half tracked out.

Yeah I suppose that wasn't the right thing to say lol probly isn't even close wish I knew the area better to get back to the untouched stuff

All kinds of great riding in Mcbride man. If you don't want to ride that big got to lucille or bell. Also a good time and good snow. If you can't find a good map google earth em.

Rode Renshaw today. Found lots of untouched snow. Some rocks still around so be careful. There were a few damaged sleds today. We put quite a few miles on. Approximately 130 sleds up today. Grooming again tonight. Trail from parking lot to Trail pass shack is rough and icy. Main Trail was a bit icy until the first bridge. Nice and flat though.

RCMP have been out on all the trails this weekend and will be out today as well. just checking to make sure you have your sled registration with you and the club is checking for trail passes as well. caught some peeps smoking pot at the cabin, at least outside for a change. make sure have your paperwork as this will be an ongoing thing for the next few months. Thanks

What are they doing if the sled isn't registered, giving out warnings or tickets? And then what do they expect you to do with your sled if it isn't registered, especially if you're not at your trailer?

just a verbal warning today and a number of the ones that didn't have registration had their vin run by the RCMP. if any of them had come back stolen would have been a bad day for the rider. hold up time was not even 5 minutes. but a lot quicker to have your registration with you. been in effect for awhile. no reason not to have it.
over 80 guys today and maybe 12 with no registration, some of them had insurance but no reg.
