You'll have to stop by Spindrift powersports(located just in behind IGA).. We always enjoy meeting and chatting with S&Mers.. The weather is looking like it's going to be clear and sunny this weekend..

I know that Avy danger is high right now, but how has the renshaw been for slides? Our group is coming in friday i'm wondering how the drop behind the cabin is? Are people going over the saddel or the granny trail (not sure what people call it but it kinda zig-zags over and down)?

Yes, in McBride right now. Staying at Hotrods, but i'm not riding. My sledlift collapsed and pinched the 3 middle fingers on my right hand. Six stiches and badly bruised. I'm the groomer bitch this weekend! Have Fun! Higgins.

I heard from a guy who heard from a guy that there is 3 feet of new snow over the last 2 nights. I check weather.ca all the time and haven't seen anything in town. Is snow that spotty or is the supposed 3 feet actually from last week?

I don't think there is that much new snow up top. It has been around zero to +2 all week and even rained a bit on Wednesday. If anything, we may have lost a bit of snow with the mild weather. Still should be great riding, and the avalanche risk has gotten a bit lower. The boys are riding Renshaw Friday and will post a first hand report tomorrow night.

What a great day of riding. Sunshine all day and good snow. Stayed in the Blackwater and anthills and played safe. Many avy's have come down but still more to come, so play in the safe areas, there is a lot of them out there as we burned a full tank today. Took a look over Wineberger's but will wait for tomorrow to go down, not a track in the bowel.
On a sad note, our S&R team had to attend to an avy in Clemina today and it is not good news. 1 made it and 1 did not, I am so sorry that this happened so close to home and that we lost another sledder.
PLEASE PLAY IN A SAFE AREA, there are many to be had. I don't know what else to say or how many times to say it.
