Temperature dropped Tuesday and snow started falling. Snowed all night up top and in town. Another small snow storm came through this afternoon. Snow in town has melted, but it's still cold enough up top for the snow to remain for a bit.

Rode Rensaw Tues if you unload right at the yellow gate there was only two patchs with no snow, The first bridge and one 15 foot opening the sun hit. It was whooped the whole way, but in way better shape then I thought it would be.

Was at Bell yesterday with about 8" of fresh snow. Great conditions around the cabin to play in all day and did not need to go very far. Still able to leave from parking lots this time of year is great.

Woke up to a skiff of snow in town this morning. Snowed up top most of yesterday and into the night. Temp has dropped and was -4 first thing this morning. Only got up to about +6 today. Looks good for riding this weekend. Spring conditions - expect the lower parts of the trails to be rough.

+1 this morning. Unloading at the Lucille and Belle parking lots, with snow less than 100 feet up trail. Will be going up Renshaw tomorrow but the guys said yesterday that there is snow right after the yellow gate(km .05).
All trails are in spring riding conditions, bumpy, hooped and snow is set-up every where.

Unload at Renshaw at KM 0. Trail is brutal rough but snow up top is darn good. 8-10 inches of new and no tracks until we got into the bowls. All in all a very good day on the snow.

Belle trail in very good shape and some new snow up top, again about 10 inches in some places. Top of Belle was bare and rocky but down in the valley and trees good stuff.

Yah we figured that out on the way out LOL. We weren't sure about the no trucks up the trail thing and did not want to be the cause of anything. It was only 100 feet of dirt. I needed new sliders anyway. Summer project:beer:
