In McBride for the week after riding Blueriver last weekend. Helped Hotrod service the groomer on a "BLUEBIRD" day! Oh well it's got to be done. Only 19 riders up Renshaw today. Higgins.

Up Belle today, installed 2 solar panel lamps in the cabin. Overcast and snowing up top all day, snow wasn't super sticky but a dump is needed. Trees were great, but powers were down!! A few unecessary stucks coming up the main creek draw below the cabin. Good fun! Snowing very hard here in town right now! Higgins.
