December snow conditions!!!

[Danbot]

Rode Renshaw on Friday, great snow we had a blast finding the untouched in the trees and more obscure places in the cabin area. Trail was in decent shape, lots of sleds for a Friday! The cabin needs a new door knob, it wont latch. Everyone was doing a good job of propping a shovel against the door to keep it closed though!

Today we rode Lucille, a little less fresh to ride, but there is plenty of deep in the trees and less commonly ridden areas of the bowl. The wet, heavy fresh did not seem to be well bonded to the base underneath... a few shooting cracks and "whoomphing" so keep an eye out guys and gals! Trail was in decent shape.

A big thanks to Glen for helping out my buddy with a failed throttle safety switch! You kept us riding for day 2!

Just a few pics, didn't take the camera out much

Can't wait to get out there loading up the truck and heading that way today for 3 days should be good by the sounds of the snow fall!

I am planning on heading this way with two buddies on Jan. 12th for the weekend. I picked up my first sled this winter so it should be a good time. Thinking of booking with Cougar Den Cabins. Or is there another place you recommend?

cabin is fixed and cleaned, new timer for furnace as well and then the fun started. no camera as I thought I was only going up to repair cabin, snow was 3-4 feet deep everywhere in the anthills and blackwater. bad day to not have camera, bluebird most of the day and hardly saw a sled. only downer was the trail up first thing in the morning was crap and pure hell at the end of the day. to warm to do a good job on the trail but snow was the difference maker. oh and the door knob was not vandalism, just old age.

 

[bbtoys]

and forgot to mention the other downer was the 6 avy's I saw that had come down this am, PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, and thanks for looking up before you proceed.

It is currently snowing hard in town, they are calling for 10cm today another 5cm tonight and another 5cm tomorow. And then a sunny wednesday.

 

[CUSO]

Really? 3 to 4 feet??At 90 to 120 cm...you would think that there would be more reports and pictures.

I agree. I'm not saying bbtoys is a liar, but some guys perception of depth are far off. 4 feet is armpit deep for the average guy. I do hope it's true though. Again not calling you a liar bbtoys.

rode renshaw friday and saturday, in the trees it was in places 3 to 4 feet, out in the open on saturday it was very hard to see cause it snowed pretty hard all day. it rained hard all the way down the trail to parking lot. trail was getting pretty pounded out but it was all worth it to ride that snow, had one bent set of handle bars on a 2012 cat and a bent in front bumper on a 2012 doo in are group, all in all awesome weekend cant wait to come back soon..... sorry no pics forgot the camera

We had originally planned to ride this past weekend in Vale but it had turned out that we rode Mcbride all weekend which by far was a better choice.
Like the guys above are saying 3-4 feet of pow in the trees
Rode Renshaw on sat and Lucille on sun here are some pics...

 

[schoooled dweeb]

Ok so u need pics...well here are some more
Saturday Renshaw....socked in. did what we could considering visibility
Sunday Lucille....beautiful.....we probed one spot in Lucille above treeline....6 to 7 feet...nice
we were eating pow as it came over the hood....that doesn't happen very often

these pics are from Saturday in renshaw

 

[schoooled dweeb]

These are from Sunday in Lucille

 

[schoooled dweeb]

more pics from Sunday in Lucille

Bad day when the pow is coming over the hood
then it hits your face......
you shake your helmet...to clear your vision ....your googles....
then more snow hits your face as your sled plows thru the snow
You get pissed off because all of the snow keep collecting in your helmet

Guess I'm really not gonna get any sympathy on this topic

 

[schoooled dweeb]

Need more pictures ...
Wouldn't want this to be a useless thread without any pics...
