We really need to go with your crew to Belle. I've been back to the 5th meadow, but had no idea there was more! Also, I have no idea where Fool's Canyon or those hills are. We really like Belle but from what you talk about, Ryan, it seems we are missing some of the best parts! We really love tree riding, meadows, and rolling bowls.

If i show everyone my areas I'll have to find new areas.
Lol.

Joking aside.
We will have to meet up for a ride some time.
Exchange riding areas

We didn't take a lot of pictures. Too busy digging.
This is coming in off the trail along the creek in the big meadow on Belle.
The Polaris lost his balance and nose dived into the creek. The cat came back to make a trail infront of the Polaris. Turns out that snow was really soft.
There was one opening when we looked down we could see the creek.
Estimate about 8ft. Should have probed it.

The cat and the Polaris were stuck constantly. The little 700 CF 136 did great.

Had a blast. Heading back to Belle today.

I think I may have witnessed this event! Thought you guys had the cat out a couple times if the guy eased into the flipper with the ski pulls but he kept going full pinned!

Wasn’t sure if there were horses stuck there again and you guys were trying to cut a trench all the way back to the trail.

Full throttle or no thottle. Lol. Yeah that was us. In the big meadow. Pinned and not moving.

There is an outhouse up there yup. As for the BBQ I can't say for sure. I love reading about huge family groups heading out riding like yours though. Well done!

We were there last weekend and some a$$hole had **** all over the seat in the outhouse and it was frozen on, so the ladies were out of luck. Can't believe how thoughtless and disrespectful some people can be. If it wasn't for all of the hard work and volunteer hours of the Club members and others we wouldn't even be able to get in there to ride, let alone have the luxury of a heated cabin and an outhouse.

What makes ANYONE think that is acceptable.

F!@#tards. They walk among us, and the reason that we can't do anything about it is because they are unrecognizable because they look just like us.

Snow is apparently still good! Hotrod mention 12+" of new snow up Renshaw with the most recent storm. Some guys we know over to Alberta/BC and they were ripping in 2-3ft still!

And a good forecast of snow this week for next weekend.
Renshaw should be the place to ride once again!
