My husband's riding the last couple days at Renshaw. Snow is awesome, and better yet the trail is the best he's ever seen it. Lots of stucks and had a great day yesterday.

We got to about +4 but not windy today in town. Supposed to be sunny right through the weekend. My guests have had a great time in the snow the past couple days. Some of the more open areas in Renshaw a little wind blown and tons of fun in the trees. Trail was decent for them, but will probably get rough with the warm conditions the rest of the week. See you Friday Matt.

Just got of the hill from renshaw. Trail is decent but will needs a groom by tomorrow forsure. As for the snow. It's super wind blown everywhere. There's was a lot of snow that has fallen from last week. And it's hard pack and wind blown. But where the wind hasn't hit there's still some decent powder. The propane line at the cabin has cracked so if you go up there's no heat. Needs to be repaired. We dug all the snow out that was blown in. Cleared the BBQ. Ran into the Avy girls. They where out testing. Be extremely careful out there!!

No. We chatted with them prior to their testing. We went half back to spirit but we tested a spot and looks sketchy. I'm not an expert in that stuff in anyway but am experienced enough to know be safe

I too, just got back from one day on Belle and two up in the Renshaw and Linktank couldn't be more correct. Monday was a windy low vis day on
Belle but we could find good snow. Tuesday on the Renshaw was a marathon of stuck sleds. We found some awesome snow and played all day putting
little miles in distance but lots of miles on the sleds. Weds. we were maybe a little tired so we put lots of miles in distance going part way back to
Alberta and finding lots of un-tracked wind blown snow everywhere. We didn't search the corners but I'm sure that fresh powder could be found.
We didn't look at Spirit because of the wind would have loaded the tops that you have to travel under.

We went into the honey hole today and had amazing untouched heavy wet snow. We pretty much laid a track on every spot possible in the small riding area.

The snow is setting up fast. Super heavy! Stucks take there toll on the body. Hahaha

Seen a bunch going up lucelle as we are at the cougar den cabins. So I'd assume that's pounded out pretty good. And looking at the forecast. Next 2 weeks aren't looking good
