Sunny and -15 this am. Groomer didn't work last nite like he said he was, so up Lucille and Renshaw this pm. Was up Lucille last nite to rescue a couple of guys that had dropped into a ravine that they should not have. New snow, seemed to be 8-9 inches.

Does anyone know what the weather is supposed to be like Friday/Sat/Sun? We are coming down for the weekend and it's so cold here in Edmonton.

Thanks. The weather sounds GREAT! I usually don't trust the Weather Network, but it's better than nothing.

As of now -3 and we are getting hammered with a blizzard, high winds and snow making it very bad outside. Has been getting worse all morning. Was only blowing early, but now heavy snow as well. Be careful if heading this way.

Barry, post a photo so we can all feel better about the beautiful day were having in Edmonton...it won't last long though.

Just got back from Renshaw, 8 hours of knee to waist deep new powder all over the Renshaw. Visibility was not the best but on a scale of 1-10 a 6. Most all the rooms in town are booked, but we just had a cancellation so give me a call or PM if you want to stay in town.

Hi Dan. I believe we have rooms but will let Judy PM you tomorrow. The snow was awsome today and my first time using the helmut cam didn't work so good as I had it set to low and got alot of the white stuff and my skies. Will have to adjust before next trip. I will let Firefly post his thoughts on our day.

Returned last night from McBride after 3 days of awesome riding. WOW!!! First off, a HUGE thank you to Barry & Judy (Mountain Haven B&B) -- incredible people with a wonderful Bed & Breakfast! Their hospitality, Judy's baking, & wicked breakfasts are second to none! And it's always great when Barry has time to go for a ride!

We rode Renshaw for the first 2 days -- visibility a little poor, but TONS of snow. Rode Bell the 3rd day -- simply stellar! 3 - 4 feet of POW. Barry took a video of me jumping which is posted on the tube... and I have lots of photos to post shortly.

GOTTA LOVE MCBRIDE !
