In McBride right now, rode Renshaw Fri. good snow good ride 1 1/2 - 2 1/2', overcast and snowing, rode the treeline in front of the cabin right back to the burnout. Up to Renshaw Sat. and went way back, awesome day, sunny and some light cloud. Solid 2 - 2 1/2' where we ended up, buddy snapped his clutch bolt off so headed back in but just had one of those days you live for. Sunday and i'm looking at the thermometer and it's -22c and ..... maybe by noon it'll warm up and we'll head to a local spot, there's another 2 1/2' to be had there. Keith.

Sask, there are some pics of Clemina yesterday up a few posts.
Overall better snow than allan and no one in town.
Allan was pretty tracked up, but everone is staying on the beaten paths, do a little exploring and the snow is awsome.
May add some pics from today a bit later
Darn editing takes ages
I NEED A PARTNER FOR TOMORROW ! if your around call 566-9950

ya man, that was the most terrible cast of reverse karma ive seen, Ill let you tell the tail if you want
Again, thanks so much for luggin that sled along.
Today was good, covered a lot of ground, but I think Chantel would have bit past her limit. She sure did good on that huge sled though.

group of 3 heding out Wed and riding Thurs/Fri/Sat. Only 1 of the group as been there before, so if we could hook up with someone that knows the area that would be great.
Hey depsnolvr, Just curious if a guy can get from keyhole to clemina either via the alpine or via the road just above the highway?
Hey Curtis me and Phill and maybe a couple other guys will be coming in this weekend. Hopefully I can get the sled running better. I wouldn't mind following you around Allen Creek to learn the area better so if you want I can meet you at Tags around 8:45. If you dont mind that is.
There is a bowl south of keyhole closed to backcountry skiing (Robina) It would be a nasty climb up into there from the southmost bowl in Keyhole..
I believe if you follow the powerline service trail, you can get to Clemina easily, I have gone the other way and made it to Canoe mountain and rode there.... Watch out though, ol' Ralph Bauer owns that mountain.. LOL

Theres a large gorge to cross on the upper hydro line, that is the reason the trail is not developed yet. Its possilbe down low, but you would need to jump the creek on the highway and thats a no no
Heres a new link to the vid posted above, a little easier to watch

Avy conditions look pretty sketchy right now. Looks like I'm putting my trip plans off for at least another week.
Ride hard and ride safe guys, keep an eye on your buddies.

quick update
2-3' feet of snow in chappell, cloudy and -6, almost too much
reports of over a foot and a half in Clemina yesterday and two in Allan. Number of users are low, so theres tonnnnnes of snow for everyone
Folks in allan and clemina may have even gotten some sunshine today
Setting up great for Family Day weekend, dont forget about the poker run in Blue River on Saturday the 16th

So much fresh snow, had a blast today, visibility is poor, but snow makes up for it.
