McBride current Conditions?
- Thread starter summitx
- Start date
Just got back from McBride and conditions are great, it was sunny and about +15 in the afternoon. Typical spring riding, drive about 5KM up road or till you get stuck and unload. Trails are ice in the morning and mush in the afternoon with only the odd sections of dirt to ride but not bad as no sleds overheated(scratchers recomended). Spring melt is deffinatly wall under way but not bad up to about 5500',on north faces above 7000' we found lots of uncrusted(not slush either) snow that you trenched about 2' into.....INSANE CLIMBS and easy to loop out. Still lots of awesome rides to be had. 
Will post some pics of jumps, climbs,riding up river and more pics of glaciers sometime tomorrow. Deffinatly the last ride for four of us but part of the group is heading fkr Revy next weekend.

Nice pics, When I looked at the one of Todd Jumping without his sled it makes you do a double take untill you read the bottom. Glad you guys had a good ride.

Todd said his roughest landing was jumping off of the rock into the drift without his sled. Down loaded his camera last night, will post the McGyver of the weekend. A quality BRP belt blew up(partially caused by excessive nitrous) and the cords took out Matt's crank seal way back from road. Cut two pieces of starter rope and fused ends with lighter and dunked in oil tank. Pulled clutch(Todd's tools) and slid "new crank seals"on. Emptied Kokanee can and cut 1/2" off of bottom then cut hole in centre for crank and installed "new seal cap". Put the clutch back on and it started!!!! He went directly back to truck (25KM) and it held perfectly. Good thing it worked cause there was no towing from where we were. Actually the best McGyver move I've ever seen.
