Anyone ride Renshaw today?
How is the snow?

 

[j.c.higgins]

Apparently the best snow is still up Renshaw, Lucielle is getting a little tracked up and assuming Belle also. Not a lot of people there lately because they just had the woman’s bonspiel and men’s hockey tourney last weekend so not a lot of rooms were available. And of course cold temps keep things slow.

Up Renshaw today, snowing and socked in all day! But the Renshaw is holding GOOD crisp powder!! We only stayed close to cabin and Wolverine bowl because had a rookie, and those areas have lots of tracks but the snow we did ride was great!!! Oh and we didn’t get 4kn up trail and buddy drove into the creek!!! Lol!!

 

[j.c.higgins]

Back up Renshaw and the goods were delivered!!! Made it over to Spirit and excellent snow was to be found!! Some of the higher open areas are wind effected. But the powder is crisp!!!

 

[j.c.higgins]

Oh, and when you lend your new sled to a rookie...trees tend to pop out of no where!!!

Another trip to the dr?

 

[j.c.higgins]

No fortunately just a bumper, but when you’re heading for a tree... let off the throttle!

I'm thinking that buddy might ride an 850 Polaris as that is usually something he does

Went to renshaw today lots of snow all over the backside it’s been a great weekend in mcbride but the cops are out like crazy. There was also a couple guys that spent the night on renshaw last night search and rescue was out this morning and found them. They were rescued last year in revy for the same thing. If you know who these guys are tell them to sell there sleds

Darwin will take these guys out of the gene pool soon enough.
Some never learn.
Their outdoor survival skills must be improving.

Rode Belle today

Fairly tracked out uptop.
1st two meadows were tracked out. All others untouched. So we chewed them up.
Trail by fools canyon untouched as well.
Was a great day.

C.O. was in the parking lot on the way down. Shot the chite with him for a bit. Then loaded up and headed down

Rode Renshaw yesterday and today. Wolverine yesterday and we pretty much had it to ourselves. Conditions were great. Dropped over the ladder today. Lot of untracked snow to be found. Decided to climb out the up and over due to the hard wind lip at the last drop befor the ladder.Trail condition was excellent. All in all an excellent weekend. BTW CO and RCMP are checking for registration and Plates as well as drivers licences. They were pretty good to my group but I heard other people growling about their presence. And yes SAR did find the two that spent the night at The Renshaw.RCMP we talked to this morning said that these same two individuals had SAR rescue them in Golden last year.

Pretty chilly for a night over at Renshaw last evening......might help them learn a lesson.
Lucky they didn't run into the big black wolf we saw roaming Renshaw last month or the gene pool would have been cleaned up a little quicker

 

[RXN]

Any info on why they spent the night? Just lost?

And this was their second time being rescued?
Are there fines associated with this?

 

[Caper11]

Are there fines associated with this?

I hope so.

Back up Renshaw for a third day of great snow!! Made a loop from cabin thru Ant Hills. Ant Hills was tracked and wind effected. But we found the goods before that. There are lots of tracks but snow still crisp, plus the farther areas are still holding good snow!! Heard those fellows were snookered out in the Chalco area maybe trying to get out thru the Holmes!! Glad they’re safe!!.jpg[/IMG]

How cranky will the CO/RCMP be if I have my girlfriends sled with me but she won’t be ther. She’s letting a friend of mine borrow it for our trip there this week. Will have insurance and registration....but she won’t be with us.

Shouldn't be an issue.
As long as you have your paperwork

maybe if the son saw how devistated the parents were when the chopper landed they might choose to make better choices. We saw new tracks going west of spirit lake yesterday. I’m not sure the name of creek that starts with “C”. That might have been their route. Glad they made it out .
