Your are driving a motorized, registered, insured vehicle on public land which requires a driver's licence. Any questions?

They didn’t check insurance! This is the only item valid of a check stop as an accident can affect someone else life!

Went to renshaw today. Apparently a 140+ sleds today. Made it to kilometre 25. Buddy’s sled broke a spark plug wire, had one In my pack, turned out it burnt a coil before the problem was rectified. Figured we might as well make it to the cabin since we were so close to see what was going on. Cycle works was having a demo day.

Friend said we couldn’t climb a hill doubling so ended up going on a hour doubling snowmobile trip. Less then 3 km from the cabin found snow 6-10” deep. Pretty sure there’s snow out there to be wrecked. Beautiful blue bird day out there.

Renshaw was quiet today, definitely needs a reload, the trail was groomed and like a highway

5 family’s coming up this weekend for our annual family ride. Was wondering if there is a BBQ at the Renshaw
cabin to use. We want to do up some Dogs if possible.
Thanks !

Ya. Was pretty funny how many guys came over to talk about the old days when They rode up on an XLT.
It’s actually pretty crazy how well that old 700 RMK works still. My 13 year old was carving pretty well on that thing !

First ever trip to the mountains for me was age 12 I believe, to belle mountain, and I was on a 1997 Indy lite 340 short track. From that moment on I was hooked.

Yes it does get better.
Went about 8km past Spirit and basically untouched.
Shale mountain and interpass ridge area totally untouched.
Ran out of gas, could not hit all the untouched.
Should have brought more than one can extra.
