Renshaw is closed as well, we were up to look at the cabin. If your going to Bell or Lucelle do have a 4x4 and put it in at the start, then your not spinning and rutting up the trail for the next guy. If you have a 4 place I would not even think of going as you will get stuck and there is no way to turn around. I would say a deck or just in the back of the box. The tail to bell was snow all the way up from about 1 k up. Not sure about Lucille. Renshaw is gated at 1/2 k and there's dirt to about 4k then mud and dirt to about 15k and snow spots and deactivation ditches and mud and deeper snow in spots. Then dirt again for up to a km. Then snow finally covered the trail at about 23 km and up.

rode 2 days this past weekend and had a ball. snow was spring riding conditions, no rocks where hit and only one tree. pic's to follow later today. Went up renshaw to clean cabin and take pic's of structural problem with the foundation so we can come up with a plan to fix if we have the $$$ to do so. rode Belle sunday and unloaded at 6 km and rode snow all the way.

Well, when you have an estimate, let us know. I will be there to support and I know others will help as well.

Don't tell me the Rx rolled down and went boom! So the Mongrol did get the last laugh in!!

There were 2 booms, the vector rolled 2-3 times and a summit that rolled at least a dozen times maybe even closer to 2 dozen, the summit got the duct tape job. I'll get Dan to post pics.

Just spent the weekend with Judy and Barry, and was spoiled by Judy her breakfasts are awesome. Thanks Barry for going out with us on Sunday. Went to Belle Saturday and Sunday, 3" fresh and had the whole mountain to ourselves. Snow was getting alittle skinny, unloading at 8 km, should have went up alittle further to 10 1/2 as we rode abit of dirt. No pics, camera wasn't charged, sorry.
Hope to get out that way this summer, try some quadding and fishing.
Recommend to everyone to stay at Judy and Barry's place (Mountain Haven) they run a first class B&B.
Thanks Judy and Barry.
Mayfly

Heyjude thanks for all your info this season.

do you think next weekend will still be accessible to Luciell or Bell?

thanks Fatguy

Yes they will still be accessible. You will have to go up the trail a ways like Mayfly said. Truck with deck is best. We hear that Lucille has a few more land mines showing than Belle does.

The boys are doing their annual sled/quad trip on June 5th weekend and that will probably be their last kick at the snow for this year.
