Hi Boys,
Again I am sorry I missed the open house I was looking forward to it but it was a great party.
I hope to see you all again before the season ends out. I am hoping for snow for all the boys got my fingers crossed.!

Where you hauling to bbtoys....??


There was number of slab slides but most of the big cornices are still there. Be careful as always. Will be gone for a couple of weeks so will not be posting reports after today. Don't want to read or here of bad things while I am gone. LOOK UP AND BE SAFE.

We are heading up Thurday morning and coming back Sunday so hopefully it should be still good. Still debating wheather to go to Revvy or Mcbride.

Can't believe you even have to think about this, Over-rated Revy with it's crowds, or Mcbride where you can ride a different area everyday of the week and not see a soul, hmmmmmmmm ,let me think this one over.

The weather here is BEAUTIFUL !!!

Sunny and Zero degrees in town. Some snow clouds seen over Renshaw - looks like a bit of new snow up there. Will keep watch and post the next couple of days.

Hot Rod will be grooming as long as he possibly can.

Rucky, you won't go wrong going to either area for a spring ride! Sorry Dave (CR500) i have to disagree with you on that revy comment. The crowds really die down in April around Revy and there are many, many areas to ride where you will see no one. But McBride is still my favorite, made it up 6 times and would have been 7 if i hadn't blown my motor. You can never go wrong riding McBride!! Going once more, Hot Rod and i are hooking up for a week to ride the Caribou openings in Revy April 16th. Keith.

It'll probably be a last minute decision....based on conditions and weather.

Maybe our paths will cross then! We're going up with a group of 6-8 people starting on Wednesday at Frisby then Caribou for sure then where ever they want to go. I run a White 98 wedge climber with a polished Cr racing tunnel. Keith.

Hi Boys,
Great Pictures SBR it looks amazing up there!
Well Hot Rod will be grooming Renshaw Thursday night as it has only had about 45 sleds on it since Moday morning when it was groomed. He is hoping to keep grooming as long as possible, as long as the weather holds.
For everyone wondering what the weather is like it is GORGEOUS!!!! A bit cold in the mornings but all the better to keep the snow around.
Rucky, not that you cant make your own decisions but I definately think that you should ride McBride but I am kinda biased!

I am still hoping for snow I guess we will have to wait and see!
I will be on the Renshaw wed and all weekend so hope to see you guys for a couple last rides before our season ends out.:D

You've made a good choice Rucky, but hey why not ride Renshaw Friday and Saturday lots of area to choose from. Chowder i like your idea, if it's bluebird out i think a person can make a little dent in those fresh untracked Caribou areas. Don't ya think!!! Keith.

These are the sleds that Rucky is talking about.

This is my dads sled, looks like that but now it has higher bars and a different seat.

This is mine and shouldn't be hard to miss unless the hood is off. And there is going to be a Rev XP Everest as well (summitx).

Just got back yesterday from Renshaw. Rod groomed the trail sunday night. The trail is pretty condition with icy spots for the first 5 km. All and all it still snow covered and smooth after a grooming.

Hi Boys,

Good Choice Rucky, I will be looking for your groups sleds this weekend I will be on the Renshaw all weekend and Monday, but I expect to see a few sleds this weekend so I apoligize if I miss you. I am easy to find I have all the snow and mud gear on and I am the one selling trail passes LOL
Rod is grooming the trail tonight so will be nice and smooth for Friday morning. The snow is right to the bottom of the trail but it is a little rougher for the bottom 6 k due to the warmer weather. As far as I have been told the rest of it looks pretty nice. Most likely the trail will be groomed Friday night and Saturday night as well depending on numbers of course.
For everyone traveling with Children this weekend, please tell the collectors if you have a kid with you as we dont' always see them and kids ride free in McBride, I dont' know about the other towns but It is a good idea to mention it anywhere you go just in case.
I am not sure what shape Lucille and Bell are in I will ask Rod tommorow and Find out.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
