There is still snow to be found if you venture far enough back.. Rode the last 3 days with nothing but clear skys and sun. It was cold, cold but the trail up the Renshaw was like a highway.

Better have a GPS in case of weather and go with someone who has been there. One side hill that can catch you.

It was quite easy on the weekend but with the new snow it may be a bit sketchy in places. Once u drop down over the second mountain (if memory serves me correct) be careful as there is a large cornice to your left that hasn't fallen yet...if u can get back there it will be worth it.

out west
We went back there 3 times this week. You have to cross over 3 mountains to get back there and it's about 20km from the cabin. We always had to check where we were going and follow other tracks along with having GPS. If it snowed lots yesterday so you won't have to go back to spirit lake to find good snow. Have fun!!!! :beer::beer::beer::beer:

Rode renshaw today 5 inchs or so in the parking lot but uptop was kinda disappointing. Was very wind blown and probably only 2-3 inchs of fresh. If you could find some untracked in the trees it was awesome but otherwise was rock hard. Riding valemount tomorrow looks like they have some more fresh.
