Yeah had to drive home the night of the blizzard. All I can say is I am still blind from all the Alberta clowns with their driving lights on. Between trying to pick out the yellow lines and the white out conditions and of course my fellow Albertans driving with all the lights on. Come on guys quit being so ignorant. When you are following someone why have your driving lights on?Turn off the lights, it isn't hard to do, but seeing all the lifted trucks driving around during the day with them on, one would think, are they that stunned.

We have been riding for 2 days and going up the Renshaw again today. It has not stopped snowing. There is safe to say 2 plus feet as of last night and im thinking over night it has gotten deeper. I will post more pics after todays ride. Im jealous for those that will be riding the upcoming week.

Talked to Hotrod and another 12" of new snow fell last night and was still snowing when he left!!! First part of trail not great, battling the elements again, +2 degrees and rain up till 12km then turned to snow, but -5 up top and paradise!!! Cooling off this week, will harden things back up!

Snow was awesome sunday. We were all sore, and tired so we just found some meadows and played in the flats. An honest 2 feet and more in the trees. More then enough to play everyone out and empty everyones fuel tanks. Wish i could ride all this week coming up. Only 20 trailers in renshaw parking lot sunday instead of 75 saturday. Sun poked its nose out for about half the day yesterday. Anyone travelling through jasper to mcbride take care coming through as the roads are not in the best shape due to a heavy snowfall on the weekend.

Had a great ride today. We were the only ones up in Bell today. Had a great ride found lots of untouched in the trees and burn area.
Just wanted to say we were disappointed. We found two beer cans and an empty pack of smokes on the top by a little stone statue someone built.
Just wanted to throw that out there. We did take their garbage out. But really if you pack in full beer how hard is it to pack ought empty ones.
Well there's my rant. Other than that great ride
