Hope this keeps up every night till the weekend!

Renshaw....trail was not very good up or back down but there is snow and ice on all of it from bottom to top. at the cabin there was no less than 3 feet of fresh overnite, it is heavy but very nice. started to get heavy at about 25 km and in the trees on the trail a ton of fresh overnite. a group at the cabin said it was 4 feet the further you got back from the cabin. rained up to about 18 km then snow and was snowing when I left this afternoon. no grooming tonite as it is to warm. the snow up top is for sure worth the rough trail up and down. play safe.

Had a great day at Renshaw on Sunday. Met up with Pete Gads, his nephew and 2 of his friends at the collection shack, and I was with Dean all weekend. I brought them in to the Anthills and the best part of the day was showing the young guys all the areas of fresh powder and seeing the smiles on there faces all day and them giving'er through the trees. Dean had a great day as well with a grin on all day, he's learned a lot in 2 days of riding on his new 15 summit. The snow was still great, we found several untouched honey holes all day. Pete, those young guys can sure go, non-stop all day. Some pics to follow.

Well the trail is starting to suffer from the warm weather. It was OK going up, starting to get wet and icy from the collection shack to the first bridge, then slightly rough up to about 12 km, after that it improved, after km 18 it was good all the way just past 28. The way down was good till about km 16 where there was some mud starting to poke through the trail, and icy in areas. From km 11 right to the collection shack it was fairly bumpy with ruts, and ice with water in areas. May not last to long with the water and ice and snow melting fast, it was totally worth it today though. And when we heading down it was starting to snow pretty good up top and both raining and snowing all the way down the trail. It got socked it fast.

yes there was a ton of fresh yesterday but I wonder how much it will settle. grooming tonite so I will be in the alpine tomorrow. see you all at the cabin.
Cabin at renshaw will not be open for use some of the day as I will be staining the walls and ceiling with stain that has to have a lot of ventilation. windows and door will be open and no heat.

Actually may be quite the opposite. Hockey tournament in town so little to no accommodation for sledders.
