I've heard from people that valemount isn't very good right now, unless they got the snow we did last night.. Guys are saying that there was 3ft of fresh yesterday and we got a big dump of snow in town last night. Should know later this afternoon how much snow there is now. Got people going to stop by the shop here in mcbride to give me a report when they get down off of the hill....

Thanks for the update...when we make it over there we will be sure to stop in!! We have not sledded in McBride yet but I know lots of friends who have. This may be the reason why we aren't to sure about McBride. I just want to go somewhere there's snow!!

We just back from riding Renshaw both Friday and Saturday. We found lots of good snow to play in Friday and even more Saturday. Shoulders are still sore from pulling out snow bunjee and stuck Cat's....lol. Only down fall is the trail is quite chitty, just like spring riding conditions once the groomer shuts down for the season. Rumor has it tho that grooming may start Tuesday.

go to mcbride, rode there friday and there was a ton of snow up renshaw! Only had to get the dragon unstuck once! Going back up there next weekend. The trail up is pretty rough but if the groomer gets out it will be much better.

Does anybody know exactly when Renshaw is going to be groomed. Heading out tommorow.

Trail build on Renshaw starts Tuesday am. If riding Tues. Wed. and Thurs. go slow as he will be on the trail. You do not want to run into the back of him, as you will lose that battle. Slow down PLEASE. Have fun as there is a ton of new snow.
