Up to Belle with Hotrod for an afternoon, snow was good especially in the trees. Never really rode the top open areas. Started out sunny then when we left it started snowing hard. Lucielle and Renshaw groomed last (Monday) night, Belle being groomed this evening. Higgins.

Next time then Showtime! Anyways after grooming Belle and not getting home till 3am. we decided to head back up with a fresh trail and worked the trees and burn area for 1/2 day. Mostly untouched back there, meadows were good, if a person wants to improve your tree riding skills this is the place from easy to hard. Love it!! Higgins.

Yes it did clear off and went up the Renshaw solo for an afternoon rip ahead of Hotrod and Rod Welpton as they groomed the trail and also to fix the cabin heater. 20" of new spring snow had fallen, asked a group of guys at the cabin if they wanted to head over the middle saddle, they didn't, so i went for a quick loop by myself and met 5 guys and that was it!! 44 guys went up and no one went anywhere! Higgins.

Yes you would of had a blast!! Those pics were from Friday, Saturday was even better i hooked up with 5 guys from Sakatoon who had never been there before so i took them on the loop from the cabin around out thru 27kms. In the nooks and crannys and trees there was 2ft of new spring snow and not many if anyone had gone out to Spirit or Alberta/BC because it was white light and snowing lightly. No pics though i left my camera in the truck. Higgins.

was up yesterday and not a track to spirit, 2 feet of new on top of what was there before. only 7 of us in spirit all day, one of the better days for me this year.
on a side note but should be talked about for sure. the avy risk is high and there are alot of spots still to come down so be careful. there are alot that have come down already so it helps and if you are planning to take the shortcut from the blackwater meadows up to the anthills don't use the avy chute as the slope above is snow loaded big time.
