Here's some pics from Tues. We went WAY back to find the good stuff. We were the only ones back there it required 2 jerry cans let's put it that way. Lol. And got back to truck on fumes. But there's some decent stuff along the way for sure

I'm with a group that has never been to McBride. We're looking for an area with a nice trail and good snow. We have a full size trailer.

What do you folks recommend? Really looking forward to not having to travel long stretches of gravel and mud, stopping to throw snow on tunnel every 500m.

Well what a difference a day can make and a wet one at that!!! Rain started early this morning and hung around all day so we went to Belle. Rain up to 5000 then wet heavy snow that turned to rain after a couple hours that went right to the top!!! Disappointed to say the least!! Didn't ride a lot, hit cabin and relaxed!

Don't forget this was Belle, Renshaw is a couple valleys away and it's higher elevation! I'm not sure what happened there, Hotrod has gone out to groom and we'll know later tonight or like Barry hopes maybe someone will post something!

Rode Renshaw today, trail was good, decent room at the 2km parking lot after the bridge and you can get whatever trailer you want to that point as well. Couple massive triaxles in there today.

Had a mix of rain, with heavy rain at times with some snow. Couldn't get up in elevation that much today cause it was socked in so much. Only really played north of the cabin and found 18-20" of snow that is heavy heavy heavy. Some places the top couple inches was slush.

Still made a day out of it and explored some new terrain. Definitely a place I will come back to and check out. Better than a day at work..

Hit up Lucielle today , parking lot muddy . Very warm up top
but about 4" of new snow overnight. If you can waddle yourself down into the lower trees where there's no tracks there's about a foot of nice stuff . Cooled down as the day progressed and it looked like a storm Blowing in. Should be some fresh tommorow . Trail was icy for first couple km but otherwise is great shape! Could probably use a groom tonight.

Was up yesterday. Trail is getting bad but the snow up top was good . We were in about 6 to 12 inches in places. Vis was good so we went way back and it just kept getting better and better.
