Rode the 21st and 22nd in Renshaw, the trail was awesome and the snow was deep. Running on fumes both days to get back to the trucks. Great work on the cabin boys, looking great! image-10 copy 2.jpg image-10 copy 3.jpg

Hello, anyone out riding today. Wondering if the warm temps have ruined the snow, or if it's still soft?

itching to ride!

thanks.

Barry just got back from working on Renshaw cabin. The trail is brutal top to bottom due to mild weather, however reports on the snow up top are that the conditions are phenominal. They will be working on the cabin again on Sunday. Anyone coming by is welcome to swing a hammer for a bit.

Rensaw was awesome this morning. Blue bird all morning. Trail up was ok, going down was brutal but well worth the pain..

Tons of untouched powder still to be had. It's a bit heavy the snow but it's great!

Rode renshaw Friday and Saturday. Saturday was unreal!! We had first tracks down the stair case and shredded the back valley towards black water creek and the ant hills. We found the deepest areas were the small lakes. And ya the trail down was the worst I've seen it in a long time.

Just left there today, was going to ride but it was pissing rain hard and very cloudy. It looked like it was raining to the tree line or higher. Snow was great the day before. Maybe the guys working on the cabin can report?

A group of us from Edmonton are also heading up Thursday. Wondering the same thing. Hopefully that rain was just down below. And that the tree line up was actually snow.

I guess we'll find out in a couple days.

Anyone ride Sunday how is the snow pack is it worth a trip?

My guests rode Renshaw on Sunday and had a great time in the Anthills. They came home late, wet and happy. Trail is soft. Hotrod went up and groomed last night but not much he can do with the wet snow. The guys working on Renshaw cabin are a couple of days behind due to snowfall up there.
