Just back from Bell and there was about 12-18 inches of fresh and we were the only 3 up there today. Lots of untouched in a number of spots deep in the bottom of the burn out area. The entire burn out has not been touched as well as the flat spot at the bottom. Sunday half day ride in there.

We were ready for her. To bad as she is a good rider and fun to watch. See all friday nite and the snow seems to be holding up well at the top. Bottom of trail a bit iffy. Have not been to Renshaw yet as the groomer was broke down and did not like the trail on Sunday nite after the rescue. Trail was a bit beat up and had to proceed slowly. Should be up and running today, will check with Rod this am and let all know.

Bell looked groomed, friday morning when we went up it looked like it hadn't been touched my a single machine. Either way though, the trail to Bell was still really good fri. when we came down. Nice and smooth the whole way.
Renshaw is supposed to be groomed tonight (saturday) as well, i heard there was upwards of 200 sleds up there today.

In fairness to the groomer & Flygirl.... it was not groomed Thursday as I was on Bell.

What I had forgotten, was that the groomer would show-up at the end of the day.... thereby reducing the risk of an incident with a sledder coming down the hell [if I had remembered this, I would not have responded to Flygirl’s post].

My interpretation of Flygirl's comment, meant the trail was groomed for Thursday, not getting groomed Thursday night....

All that being said... my hat is off to the groomer.... hustling to make repairs, then get caught up with grooming the trails..... :thumbsup2:

Coffee is on me the next time I'm in McBride....

trail to Renshaw was nice today up and down today, i won't have pics/video for a while, hopefully they all turned out good. There were a few more machines coming down after us though so it probably go chewed up some more, but nothing like yesterday from what i heard.

3 good days of riding in a row, Bell, Lucille and Renshaw. I hope to make it back again before the end of the season. :D

We rode Renshaw on Saturday. Alot of riders that day. We had a large group and we headed back past Sprit lake a few more bowls. Thanks to Snowchuk for guiding us around all weekend. The snow back there was OK, there was some deeper area's, not waist deep but over your knee's. We had a great weekend riding, there were a few mishaps, but luckily no serious injures. Summitric blew his engine:eek: in the RT. Barrie could not come sledding with us on Sunday, he was out with SAR's till 2 am assisting someone that got hurt, next time Barrie. We rode another area on Sunday, which was great as well, so theres still lots great sledding left and will be for sometime. I was suprised at how high the snow is around the cabin.
