2018/2019 Mcbride Conditions and Updates

[Jjanke]

Went into Renshaw today. Rained hard all the way up to 15 km last night but the trail wasn’t too bad all things considered. About another foot up top from what there was yesterday. Some more in the trees off the beaten path. Was snowing like crazy for most of the morning but then it opening right up to bluebird in the afternoon. Had a bit of everything as far as the weather goes this weekend. If the forecast stays true, next weekend should be epic.

The top of blackwater where you enter in from km 27 where a small patch of trees is called 'gas drop'. This is the blackwater area, if you kept going North and a little to the west at the top you would then drop into Wineburgers bowl. If your at gasdrop and look to your west there is a fairly large climb, when you go up there then off to your left (Southeast) you will find yourself in the Anthills, you can also access this from the avy-chute that took out a pile of trees years back. That's right from the bottom meadows, this is dangerous though as you never know an avalanche will occur again and wipe this chute out again.

Basically what I was trying to say Ron, your explanation is better.

I left my inreach on the window ledge to the right when you walk into the Renshaw cabin today. Just wondering if anyone saw it or grabbed it and brought it down. Heading home tomorrow am, any help will be greatly appreciated.
