Looks like this weekend might have been THE weekend to ride McBride. I only hope it lasts until next weekend.
If it is set up hard next weekend then we will just do an exploration run past Spirit.
Always loosens up in afternoon.....just stay off slopes then.
Have a couple good spots not easy to find.unless you like rubbin paint on trees.

Do you have to travel back to spirit to find the good snow? Never been that far back so just wondering if it's worth the trip

Sunday was almost a carbon copy of Sat in the Renshaw..
Wind had blown some of the snow making some nice pockets of pow.
Then again the wind packed the snow higher up.
Played around spirit lake..
Took Chris and his son Damon there...
They had never been to the lake.
Trail in was superb in the morning...
Thinking the cool temps helped.
On the way out..trail was still in really good shape
Parking lot was still frozen for the most part at the of the day...
Pretty much an epic wknd to be had.... if you made it out.

Anyone have the directions/map or the GPS coordinates to spirit? Been riding the Renshaw for 10 years now and am looking to make our first trip there next week.

Any reports from the hill? Thinking bell or renahaw for a day trip tomorrow. Wondering if it’s worth the drive. Appreciate any reports or feedback.

Rode Renshaw today. Backside meadows had some fresh. Dropped down the ladder and rode out through anthills, snow was much better in those areas. Was a good day.

Parking lots is getting a bit muddy, still good for trailers. Snow is still at the trail head, just not in the parking lot. Was about a 30m stretch with no snow on the road after the parking lot but otherwise snow covered trail all the way in.
