Who cares about the trail, coming down today it was as bad as I've ever seen it for deep whoops, but it the best powder riding I've had in a while, and hey guess what,man up its free tomorrow lol! Take some Advil and you will be fine. Worth the pounding for sure, when we left it was still coming down hard at the cabin about 4.15 pm

The crazy carpets from the Renshaw cabin were taken on Saturday and are now un-useable on account of my sled. If someone could let me know who to call to get them replaced that would be great. Thanks

Hi Foxstar - you can PM me and make some kind of arrangement. Thanks for your honesty. Hope your sled is okay. Judy

Can't groom because it's +2? Revey and Sicamous work with those temps and traffic regularly, with no problems. You would think it would be more than worth it to groom!

The low snow levels on the trail dont give Hotrod much to work with. I believe Revy and Sicamous have more of a base on their trails than we do.

Kept hearing that there wasn't much snow up Belle. Should have rode that one day.

Lots of guys coming over from vale out on the hwy this morning.

Hey give me his address and I will mail it no problem, as for bevy, what bevy. I appreciate the effort but I don't recall offering or being anywhere I could buy you one. I tried to send it from the parking lot with a fellow rider but unfortunately he forgot, my appoligies to your friend.please send me his addresss. Asking me would have been much easier than a comment. But tell friend Thx anyway.

On Saturday we returned to Renshaw where there was over 300 riders that came through the trail pass booth.
The trail was a bit rough going up, coming down was Brutal, the worst I've seen it in years. This is to do with the warm weather and all the traffic on the trail. Also the burping of the throttle builds up mounds. Extra grooming would of caused additional damage damage to the trail.
It was still quite cloudy and fogged in on Saturday. It was snowing quite a bit as well. We played most of the day just above and to the left of showoff hill and with 12 of us up there we had a blast. We spent all day in that section and either rode hard or spent a lot of time helping others get unstuck. Sunday we rode Bell, it was fairly wind blown and needs some snow in the upper areas, but the valley at the bottom of big bell had some good snow where fun could be had by all. The burn area still needs some snow and there are some hazards still sticking up or just beneath the snow.
Here are some pictures, my lens was quite fogged up so they didn't turn out to well.
