Hey Morton u forwarded them on to him so he could see. Looks like a blast heading there on Monday afternoon.

Ohh I see lmao. I was like what the hell? No worries Darren, just mind boggled. Hopefully it starts to set up for you up there, we didn't get to ride today unfortunately but Colin, Dylan and Tom rode today, and read it was still deep and bottomless.
Can't complain for November 11th weekend!

Hey I'm going for a trip this weekend 19&20 does anyone know how the renshaw trail is so far?

It was ok when we broke trail Saturday. Just have to cross 20 creeks, and the last pull was a pain with it being nothing but 4 foot drifts in 2 feet of snow. Its more worth your time to ride lucielle than renshaw right now IMO.

always fun tryin to pull the last few km of the Renshaw with newbies when breaking in...

i would assume the deactivation ditches will still be a pain but with the snow in the near future, shouldnt be much a problem

I rode Allen creek sat and then went to Lucille sun. Lucille has WAY better snow right from the staging area. The ride down from Allen was horrible from all the riders chewing up the small amounts of snow. there was varying amounts of snow from 3-4 feet. brought a smile to all our faces, great first ride. On sunday i went to lucille in Mcbride. Right from the staging area i could see a big difference in the amount of snow. the ride up seemed more like a december trip. At the top is was very suprised by how deep the snow was. Snow was blowing so hard that i couldnt see very far, but was able to get very stuck. had a blast...great start to a year!!!!!

It is early in the season but please be careful out there. first sledder death already. with no bonding under all this snow it is very dangerous right now. SAR Mcbride last year had no call outs and already our team is in the Torpy with the first incident of the year, lets all play SMART so we can all go home to our families.

Lucille was groomed last nite and is in very good shape, but no base in the alpine.
And there is no heat in the cabin as of yet, have to get the propane up there some how.
