Well, the snow fell from the clouds in the sky and the hills just happened to be where the snow fell. Thats how the snow is there on the hills.:D
Thank you for the snow condition update, I hope there is snow falling from the clouds in the sky on my favorite hills I like to ride on.

-4 this morning and a slight breeze. Light snow has been falling up top off and on the last few days. Been a quiet week and I have no first hand reports of conditions. Will update as soon as I have something reliable.

Some guys came down from lucielle a short bit ago and said that there is over 3 1/2ft of fresh snow up there. And another group headed home cause they said there was to muchsnow up renshaw. They said there was over 2dozen sleds right around the cabin up renshaw. CAN NEVER HAVE TO MUCH SNOW!!!!

Well we just got off renshaw, I was in the black water area but heard the other parts of the mtn was just as deep. About 4 ft of fresh and the area we were in yesterday our tracks were filled in.
The word EPIC comes to mind, but after a hard day of riding a smooth trail down would of been appreciated.
But we just had two awsome days of Deep snow to play in!!!

Exactly I could only imagine to live even a four hour drive or less to go when conditions are like this rather than 8 hours. It would be like a young 16 year old with a hard on, lol.

Anyone have pics verifying the depth? I was up last weekend when guys were saying 4' on here, when it was really 1.5'-2'... Some guys need re-calibrating lol.

Was wondering which of the three riding areas pose the least avalanche risk? Havn't been to the mountains for 4 years and like to boondock.
