Does anybody know if they got any new snow in the last couple days. I've been watching the weather network but i'm just having a hard time comprehending this snow situation:mad:. We're heading up this week-end and would like to get a decent ride in.

we havnt got much for fresh snow lately. A little bit here and there. But thereis still soft stuff to be found in thetrees and such a guy just has to look for it. They are calling for a some snow in the next coupole of days. The other side of things is it's great for exploring right now as we've had great blue sky days so it's made for some good rides.

you have to venture out from the cabin area to find untouched, but the guys are finding untouched but not deep snow and are burning a tank of fuel each day.
not dissapointed in the last 3 days of riding but for sure not the deep stuff that we are used to.
snow in the forcast for next 3 days.
going to have Hotrod(groomer) start putting on his snow line the amount of fresh at the cabins when he is up there with his groomer. lately it would say, no fresh last nite.

Coming out there March 27 weekend. I would think that March should bring some new snow. Regardless, we'll have a great time. Its still the mountains!!

Rode Renshaw today, it's trying really hard to snow but it'll snow hard for 10-20 mins then blow off. So in the trees and gulleys 6-8" and in the open 2-4". But you can still have fun! Made a tour from the cabin around to the anthills playing in the creeks and trees behind the cabin. Hotrod had a little carnage, falling off his sled and whacking a tree. Plus we got ourselves into a couple of jackpots, felt more like a weight room workout that a sled rip but still had a good ride. Higgins.

Up for an afternoon ride. Clutch issues held things up. Overcast but no tracks, good time. Now the last pic...well thats what happens when you cut the corner real sharp on an icy trail and loose your balance. Only thing hurt was my pride. Higgins.

We rode Bell yesterday -- my oldest son's first trip to the mountains (he's 12). Had a great day! 6" - 8" of fresh snow made for a perfect first day for him! (Insert proud Father moment here:)) The best day I've ever had in the mountains and have been waiting for this for a long time. Black clouds were rolling in down the valley on our way back to Jasper. Snow baby snow! Down side -- I forgot my d*mn camera!!! However, my nephew took some photos with his phone, so I'll post them when I get them. :beer:
