came down later yesterday from renshaw, trail is back to being very good. one more groom and will be excellent. snow has set-up a bit from the warm weather and now the cold but guys were finding some good stuff in the back. watch yourself on the steep stuff as there was some reports of avy activity, not large but still a sign of some unstable conditions out there.

Lucille had evidence of a slide. Unsure when it happened. We popped up next to it.

 

[RXN]

The small slide we found

 

[Summitric]

I believe a "slide" is rocks or mud..... Snow is and avalanche or sluff........ Could be wrong?

Thats what I thought as well, lol

 

[Summitric]

Well...... A sluff is a slough..... For the most part, slough is a slew or slue..... Sluff is like a mini avalanche or ditchalanche.... lmao

 

[1100]

Less of an English course please, and more pictures. Haha. Is there a place a guy can check area maps? Haven't been into dore for a few years and want to make sure there's no area closures back there.

 

[j.c.higgins]

Well.......can't argue that explanation!!!!!! LMAO!

Dore Rivers, get a hold of Barry (BBToys), he's got all the info on that area! The good stuffs closed!

 

[gm3d]

Well, another day of riding in the books! Snowing pretty good up top on Renshaw. Lot of the gang just hanging at newly reno'd cabin. Looks great. Hoping it just keeps dumping overnight. We checked out Higgy's heavenly honey holes and they were hammered! Need more snow!

Back at Leona's B@B. The Dogg and I are so full. Great meal topped off with home made lemon meringue pie. May need wheelbarow to bed Simply awesome!

RCMP were doing roadsde checks on the way back to town. Were VERY reasonable to deal with! Be sure your stuff is straped down and you leave the drinkin till your parked for the night!

Cheers!

 

[bbtoys]

[burnt toast]

Rode renshaw as well yesterday first ones up a nicely groomed trail, good job on the cabin. Took a quick peak but did hang there at all. Snowed hard for the most part all day an into the night. We were able to find some good snow that wasn't tracked. Just got up and peaked out window and I see clear sky's that or I'm still half asleep. As well mentioned above RCMP check stop great guy excellent to deal with.
