Heading out to Renshaw tonight and riding tomorrow. Will search for the stuff and send pics. It has been snowing since last night there and more in the forecast.
I can't believe this year was off to such a rocky start and never picked up, it usually dumps in late January and all of February so march is premo riding. This year looks like one of the worst I've ever seen for snow

Awesome day today. Tree bashing most of the day.
Still can figure out this picture shrinking on a mac, so just head to Frozen Pirate Snow Services | Facebook for a few sick photos from today.
Great riding out there if you are willing to get a bit sideways!

Just wondering if anyone has been riding or has pic of conditions ? I have a group of us planing a trip out that way for end of month some coming from sk for 6 days we have had it booked in jan hoping like everybody that the snow would come by March as the day come closer I wonder if it's worth spending the money but then again spring riding is better then nothing .. Any info would be appreciated. Fingers still crossed hoping for snow..
There is post today of a 10 minute video and links to the pics of riding today by Depsnolvr.

Get what you are saying sort of...(but not sure how a 10minute video and pictures can lie....)
Either way like I said, the riding is good if you are prepared to get out of your normal to find snow....if you are not, then expect very very spring like conditions especially as the temperatures are forecasted to warm further this week.

Had a great weekend. one of my better rides this year the sun was out and the temps were mild. Snow is extremely variable from windblown ice to 1" of fresh to 1+ft of fresh. champagne pow to ice crusts and heavy wet stuff. the wind has swept clear many areas and deposited it in others. however im not sure what it did with the rest of it because we had a more difficult time finding it than usual. need snow bad. Props to varda for still grooming the Allan creek trail it was butter smooth but i dont think she has much time left lots of ice and dirt already surfacing and very thin snow cover on the rest of it and warm temps in the forecast> on the bright side the alpine temps stayed very cool Saturday and Sunday so the snow we did find was great. wish i had a better report but WE NEED SNOW.

Rain! Not sure if that is a good thing or bad.....? The lower trails will not stand up well in these next two days of rain although the Clemina weather station is showing below freezing temperatures so here's hoping the alpine is receiving fresh snow!
We will try to update on the trails some time later this week, but please share our expereiences and information if you have it from your rides this week.
Customer appreciation day is still scheduled for this Saturday at the Clemina Creek area. Comp trail passes and lunch at the cabin!

Great day riding yesterday despite the early spring like conditions. Keyhole is no longer accessible by the cut across from power line, have to use logging road. Clemina trail is still in decent condition starting around kilometre 4. Any lower the trail is opening up to the ground and likely won't last without any more accumulation. Even with the snow set up like spring, still keep avy's in mind, triggered and luckily road out one in who would of thought avalanche alley.
