The snow is all wind blown and settled. You had to be up here right after it came down. It's turning to hard pack quick. There Is lots of in touched but it's gettting firm, unless you find some wind sheltered spots.

The access road is a rutted mess, I hope they grade it or guys are going to be getting stuck with trailers.

Our Watrous, SK group rode Belle yesterday. Here's a couple of pictures. Parking lot was good, trail was great.

Absolutely gorgeous day on Renshaw today. Sun was out all day and we ventured back past the lake easily.


Snow had softened up as the day went on and turned into an awesome day. Was riding big bowls with only a couple tracks in them. 250 guys up today. Around the cabin is beat out but if you can get back there is lots of snow left.

There isn't much of a trail left at the last few kms. It gets pretty beat down but can't expect much with this warm weather. None the less and beautiful day up on rensaw.

286 was official count up renshaw today. Great riding today. But the trail is pretty rough. Sounds like the groomer will come down tonight and that might be the last time.

Cooler temps coming after tomorrow plus fresh snow......sure hope "might be the last time" is not true.

Hope so Poleman, looking forward to a few more trips to mcbride before putting the sled away. First side by side ride already this Sunday, may be fun but will miss riding the sled.

LDM fixed up mountainview rd so not rutted out so bad. trail down was rough as hell but at high speed seemed to smooth it out. a few brown spots on the trail and a lot of running water, hope to keep the groomer going after the cool down, we will make that call later tomorrow. going up in am was smooth as a could be expected for this weather. snow has settled a lot but a ton of untouched at spirt.
had to take day off today from renshaw but going up Lucille to do some measurements.

Hopefully conditions can hold on for a little bit longer! Making a trip next weekend, and will have to make every minute count! So pumped!
